Credit where credit is due.

I live in NYC and voted for him, but I honestly thought he'd be bogged down by an entrenched bureaucracy and not actually do much.

It was worth the price of admission just to see the Lesbian Fire Commissioner.

edit = The Fire Commissioner was an EMS Chief before getting promoted. Back in 1995 most of the front line EMS workers hated the idea of being pulled into the Fire Department. They liked being independent. It took a long time, but now the tail is wagging the dog.

    You wouldn't last a minute at a lesbian fire.

    Why? Is she building a series of canals to divert water for firefighting? Because that would be legit funny. Because it's a dike.

    Happy pride month. I think/thought Lesbians took ownership of that term, stripped it if it's derogatory meaning... and I'm meaning it endearingly. Not like the F word. That's loaded with historical context and I wouldn't use that. That'd be like a white guy using the N-word endearingly...that's really just not possible. Exception for Bob Dillan in "Hurricane", of course. If I'm wrong please let me know.
