My Life In Brooklyn

At 7:55 this morning, not even a half an hour ago, I am following my usual daily routine. A cup of coffee and the Times, a quiet and gentle start to my day.

But today is Election Day in Flatbush. Already it has started. At 7:55 a.m., a dark blue van covered with campaign posters with Joel Toney’s name on them slowly drives down the street. With the loudspeaker blaring political spew that is extremely loud but totally inaudible.

I really loathe this carnival-like necessity some local politicians embrace to create attention. This is a tactic I have seen from Yvette Clarke too. It is disruptive, insulting, and if there was ever a chance I would have voted for you, Joel Toney, you can kiss it goodbye.
