di Blasio isn’t his real name anyway. His real name is comically German.
Kaiser Wilhelm is ashamed of being Italian. He more relates to his nazi roots. The Bronx Italians won’t forget.
His name is Warren Wilhelm! Are NYers this dumb? De Blasio is a fake name.
The only immigrants Wilhelm cares about have to Sprechen Sie Espanol.
It’s apparently his mother’s maiden name. But he’s obviously all German today.
For real?
He pandered to my people and they actually fell for it?
Why isn’t Wilhelm used when referring to him??!!
Where’s the Sopranos?
Makes me wonder if the NY Irish think that U2’s guitarist is actually called ‘The Edge’

I was there, 50 years ago today, finished a 3 week job and never again.
If it was a gay rights Columbus Day parade he’d have been there.
On a side note, to anyone who says they hate NYC, fast for two days and then bring yourself (and the ability to part with a couple of hundred dollars) to Arthur Ave in the Bronx. My favorite place is Gerbasi’s but it’s almost impossible to make a bad choice.
Diblasio is a fool. Skip St. Patricks day if you must, who needs the hangover but Columbus Day in the Bronx? Fool.
Remember...he eats pizza with a fork.......
All four of my Jewish grandparents arrived here at the turn of the 19th/20th century from Russia and Eastern Europe.
But I was born here and have lived here my whole life.
So I think “Indigenous Peopls’s Day” is a great idea.
There should be a day on which we Indigenous Americans celebrate our native American culture and heritage - from Baseball to jazz to all the inventions and prosperity that our culture has created and bestowed on the rest of the world — as a counter offensive to all the unjustified attention and special privileges bestowed on the illegal aliens who have invaded us over the past several decades.
So here’s to “Indigenous People’s Day.” I hope it catches on nationwide next year, as a way of reclaiming our true American heritage.
I’ll start the celebration with a nice cold bottle of Sam Adams. How will you celebrate?
I should add that display of the Mexican flag ought to be outlawed on Indigenous people’s day, just as the display of the American flag has been outlawed on Sink O’DeMaio.
I was born and raised there. Things were nice in the 50s and early 60s. Started going downhill after that. I escaped in '74. Things got better under Giuliani, but that was short-lived.
If you have a visceral hatred for New York City, I understand, but I draw a distinction between the NYC of my youth and the NYC of today. I loved the old New York.
tell me about the great pizza you had. I just showed my 2 kids the opening scene in Sat Night Fever “two or three Tony”?
“two, two, give me two”
That scene almost makes me want to fly to NYC just for some pizza. And I lived in Chicago for almost 30 yrs and love deep dish but good thin is great too.
Probably a little busy with a “hands on meeting” with some queer groups which want to get behind him.
We had a corner pizza place near us. The guy's name was "Jimmy". He made his own pizza there. We used to watch him toss the dough in the air. Best pizza I ever had. You could buy it by the slice or by the pie.
Another thing was "Italian Ice", which wasn't the Sno Cones they sell these days. This was more of a sorbet, but it came in all kinds of flavors, and served in a little paper cup that we kids would buy. We'd get them in flavors like blue raspberry, cherry, lemon, mango, orange, and strawberry.
