It’s primary day in New York City, and this fiercely partisan town is full of Democrat contenders.

So the streets are full of crap and balled-up flyers and fallen posters and little cards urging me to vote for somebody. Like this little tableau.

It always makes me sad, seeing so much money and paper get wasted in primaries and electins. I’m all for a flourishing democracy, and if we got some folks who would actually act in the interests of low-income New Yorkers I’d say spend away, but we don’t.

Come sleep with me.

31st Street and Eighth Avenue, southwest corner. I’ll be out here all night - Tuesday, August 24th, 2010.

It’s a slumber party protest! Visit picturethehomeless.org for the grisly details. The why and the how.
