My Review of Dreamgirls
Imagine taking a woman you love to a quiet place. You pull down her pants. Put your face gently between her bottocks and inhale as deeply as you can, both through your nose and your mouth. Yes, Dreamgirls sucked ass that much.

YAY!!!
I'm a little late in addressing this story. Mayor Bloomberg's "congestion pricing" scam, er scheme, is effectively dead. I can't beging to tell you how happy this makes me. Rolled out on Earth Day as an environmental move, the plan is essentially a rehash of a screwover that Mayors have been trying to pull for a while now. Essentially the idea is to impose an $8 fee on traffic in Manhattan. On a de facto basis, it's a giant fuck you to the boroughs.
Why?
Well, the collection mechanism is to charge at the bridges and tunnels. So, Manhattanites already on the island (who presumably make up no small part of the traffic in, well, Manhattan) get off scott free. Only those of us in places like Brooklyn or Queens (okay and the rest of you from outside the city) wind up paying. All of the money from the tolls is supposed to go to public transportation funding. Now, guess where all of the major transit projects are slated? You got it, Manhattan. Meanwhile, the MTA, realizing they now have a captive audience for their service, has just announced a plan to raise fares, not only once, but on an annual perpetual basis.
Now, don't get me wrong. I actually could be persuaded to go along with this little scheme. I just have one minor caveat. It's nothing really. Especially since we're all being green and concerned about excessive traffic and stuff. I'll support congestion pricing so long as anyone commuting from Manhattan through Brooklyn, Queens, or North Jersey to go to places like JFK, LaGuardia, or Newark International has to pay a congestion pricing fee of $200. This would cut down on all that wasteful and double-plus ungreen air travel that Mikey and his buds on the Upper East Side should be taking steps to curtail.
