Ah yes, another beautiful sunny day in NYC. Let's skim through the local corruption and idiocy that runs rampant here. Hmmmm. ...I see that our fire department training facility has had its specially designed, propane burning, simulated fire training facility "out of order" for the past two years. I guess Dumb Dave Dinkins figures the fire fighters can practice on real fires. Hell, we know that your chances of surviving a heart attack in NYC are lower than 1 in 10 based on EMS response, why not match that with your firefighters. Whoops, look no further, the city comptroller, Liz Holtzman (another weasel running for office) found that the Health Department inspectors had been goofing off. Let's read a little closer and find out that there are 6 inspectors and 1 supervisor assigned to inspect almost 3000 public and private day-care facilities. Doing rough math, 3000/6 = 500. So each inspector must inspect 500 centers a year. Yup yup yup, I'm sure they won't miss much. Especially after they fill out everything in triplicate. To close this drama off in the distance we see Mario Cuomo in a clown suit and Dave Dinkins in a dog suit sining "Gimme mo' money" to anyone who passes nearby. Paul Landsberg
