This weekend Mayor Michael Bloomberg is expected to introduce an $8.00 congestion fee for drivers who enter Manhattan below 86th Street.

What nonsense.

There are no details, but one can be sure their will be a skew of new government jobs. Collection will be a nightmare. If they want to speed traffic, enforce the laws they have already. what stupidity.

Since all the cops, firemen, and bureaucrats drive in, and illegally park, does it apply to them?

P.S.: My Luddite friend insisted I blog about this. I thought it was just more “barbara streisand” and really not worth wasting electrons on. We’ll see.

I currently run my blogs at WordPress.com which has its benefits (free and no need to worry about WordPress) but also limitations in things like themes and plugins (no java scripts allowed).

I would like a kool name, javascript, and some ads to make millions from my loyal readers. (All 6 of them!)

Seriously, I currently redirect from http://www.reinkefaceslife.com and, while I could pay WordPressDotCom to “domain” me, I don’t see the value. Perhaps, I too need to bite the bullet and go host it elsewhere? But if I go thru the effort, then I need to see a big payday. Or at least some payoff. Sigh,
