Of course the mayoral election is on everyone's lips, but there's also the comptroller and public advocate. For those that don't know, the comptroller's in charge of our assets and the public advocate listens to citizens' complaints and tries to address them. (Our current comptroller and public advocate, John Liu and Bill de Blasio, are both running for mayor.) Out of everyone in the mayor's office, this is the person who'll take over the position if the mayor gets shot or something. Do you understand? If Bloomberg was Obama, the public advocate would the equivalent of Biden. How the hell did this happen? I'd imagine it'd be the First Deputy Mayor. That's, you know, the fucking deputy mayor. That's the person who knows what the hell is going on. Don't get me wrong; public advocate is still an important job. But it'd be like, I don't know, if Obama gets shot the Secretary of Energy suddenly becomes president. We as a people would cock our heads and go, "Huh? When did we decide on that?"

So why did we decide on that?
