[QUINNIPIAC.EDU] With 47 percent of black voters and 44 percent of women voters, New York City Public Advocate Bill de Blasio surges to 43 percent of likely voters in the Democratic primary for mayor, passing the 40 percent cutoff and possibly avoiding a runoff, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
Former City Comptroller and 2009 Democratic nominee William Thompson is at 20 percent, with 18 percent for City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, 7 percent for former U.S. Rep. Anthony Carlos Danger Weiner ...aka Hot Dog Tony, the remarkably offensive sex maniac six-term New York congressman who resigned in 2011, then decided everybody had forgotten by 2013, when he decided to run for mayor of New York City... , 4 percent for Comptroller John Liu, 1 percent for former Council member Sal Albanese and 8 percent undecided.
This compares to results of an August 28 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN- uh-pe-ack) University which showed de Blasio at 36 percent, with 21 percent for Quinn, 20 percent for Thompson, 8 percent for Weiner and 6 percent for Liu.

Looks like Weiner is sure in a bind.
Is it too late to come from behind?
Will he get back upright,
Though the race isn't tight,
Or will Anthony be disinclined?
His political future's in doubt
For it's looking a lot like a rout
Polls at seven percent
Have him striking his tent
Yes, they've knocked Weiner down (but not out)
In the back, someone started to laugh
(They'd been texted one last photograph),
As the object of odium
Dragged himself to the podium
And regretfully laid off his staff.
I bet he'll keep in touch with his base.
So you've read my limp limericks on Weiner
You could probably write some obscener
Why not give it a shot --
Show the Burg what ya got --
In the vein of lyric misdemeanor?
[BUZZFEED] "Secretary Kerry, the American people say no to war. Ban Ki Moon says no to war, the Pope says no to war. We don't want another war," Medea Benjamin of Code Pink ... a U.S. anti-war group. The group describes itself as a women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, stop new wars, and redirect our resources into healthcare, education, green jobs and other life-affirming activities. It was founded in 2002 by Jodie Evans, Medea Benjamin and of the other usual antiwar suspects. Its website lists hysterical allegations of US war crimes, and states that thousands of civilians were killed in Fallujah in 2004. Maybe it was millions. Benjamin was a 2000 candidate for the U.S. Senate on the Green Party ticket. She lost... yelled at the hearing after Kerry was finishing his remarks.
"The first time I testified before this committee, when I was 27 years old, I had very similar feelings to that protester," Kerry said. Medea Benjamin hasn't seen 27 for about as long as JFK. Nor has she ever been in favor of any war under any circumstances.

when I was 27 years old, I had very similar feelings to that protester,
....but then I grew up and realized that there is no good or evil, only power and the will to use it. It's really all about politics and party.
