NYC Primary Day Junk Mail


Yesterday was Primary Election Day for local races here in NYC. Since most of the city is intensely Democratic, the majority of candidates who win the Democratic nomination in their races usually end up winning the General Election in November. This is because Republican opposition is generally weak or nonexistent.

As progressive/liberal as we tend to be here in NYC, one of the things these Democrats apparently DON'T seem to care about is the environment. Or, more specifically, these biatches must HATE trees. In the past few days before the Primary I received over 30 pieces of over-sized, unsolicited candidate junk mail (pictured above). My little apartment mailbox was pretty-much filled every single day of the week before the Primary.

Seriously, how much timber had to be harvested so that Cy Vance, Jr. could be the Democratic candidate for Manhattan District Attorney?!?
