But, wait…Daniel Negreanu just raised Duncan $30K and pushed his chips all in. Duncan’s thinking about it.
And, he’s all in, too!
What will Bloomberg do? He only makes $1 a year as mayor of NYC, you know.
Bloomberg lowers his sunglasses, winks to his E4E supporters in the crowd, and pushes his chips in, too!
Everyone’s bets are in, so it’s time to deal the flop.
Vote NO!
” so it’s time to deal the flop.”
Yes, “flop”….That’s an appropriate description for paying inexperienced teachers ” 100K plus.” … What a “deal” for the taxpayers.
BLACKOUT
Congrats to the D.O.E. for choosing to KEEP Mr. John Chase in as interem-acting principal at Bronxdale High School where he was found in violation of Chancellor’s Reg’s regarding sexual harassment. Yesterday, a new A.P. was brought on to the team. That makes 14 white teachers, 1 white principal and now, 1 white assistant principal. Way to GO!!!!!

Since we’re using gambling metaphors here, let’s not forget the truism about poker: if you don’t know who the mark is at the table, it’s you.

Are you shocked? They only let the non-white Principals (non-male) go.

Where’s Larry?
Oh, this is something the UNION does NOT want so he cannot blame the pension problem on them.
Why isn’t he complaining that Bloomberg and others are going to raise pension costs?
Oh, because it isn’t the UNION and they can’t be blamed.

Yeahh, they couldn’t let this guy go. I mean a white guy from Oneonta N.Y. who now runs a high school in the Bronx – he’s got some connection downtown. Good 4 him!
