#2 I guess Nueva York didn't learn its lesson from the 1970's or 1980's when it went bankrupt.

But that slob Wilhelm... absolutely hopeless. But, NYC residents sure like him enough to vote for him.

#4 Raj, if they completely eliminated the police department, they might be able to make up the loss. Well, except the Praetorian Guard to guard the mayor and city council of course. /sarcasm

#5 The services of a Praetorian Guard can always be purchased by someone with even more money than the original purchaser.

#6 " Oh we are having a hanging in the Morning,
Ding Dong Billy's Neck is going to stretch ."
A slip knot is good enough ,
Slowly choking kind of rough ,
But the kids will enjoy the show ."
