From the Daily News: “In Brooklyn, Anthony Herbert is running for the Fort Green/Prospect Heights district currently represented by Tish James. Herbert, who also has the Conservative line, launched the Central Brooklyn Republican Club last week, with the avowed goal of luring black Dems across party lines. Given the fact that 90% of blacks vote Democratic, Herbert will be lucky to match Yablon’s 14% performance.”

chippenziedeutch pontificates: “‘hipster’ is sooo 2003… Nowadays, it’s Whatever-You-Are-Currently-Into + ‘mafia’.”

Examples:

“I went to the Tea Lounge last night, but couldn’t get past the Toddler Mafia.”

“Going to see the Portastatic and John Vanderslice show at Southpaw? It’s sure to be filled to the brim with the Horn-Rimmed Glasses Mafia.”

“I stopped going to Great Lakes once it got overrun by the Hipster Mafia.” [Please note acceptable use of “Hipster” in modern “Mafia” context - Ed]

“I went to 2 Toms for dinner last night. It’s an old standby for the Mafia Mafia.”

Where is Tish James when you need her?

*Except for Indian. There’s some damn fine Indian food in London.
