Gov. Paterson a liar? by Suzannah B. Troy

Read this article in The New York Post.   Fred Dicker has been breaking the news on scandals from Albany and he may win a medal for doing so, get a raise if anyone is paying attention but most people don't even know that Albany has yet to balance their 9.2 budget deficit...ho hum.

Welcome to misogynist NYC; Paterson every so gently intimidates an alleged victim of spousal abuse in to silence and he gets to walk away.  How many of his staff members quit over his intimidation and his best friend aid's involvement?  Too many and Kaye clearly a female member of the misogynist club lets him walk. Oh gee, same best friend and aid involved here as well.  Rumor is Paterson is a chronic liar.  He needed to resign before his staff members. By the way is the budget balanced yet?  It was due April 1, 2010. Not balancing it along with corrupt dealings here in NYC mean budgetary hell here in NYC next year. Thanks to all that aid corrupt politicos to stay in office.

NY State Assembly Biviano vs. Millman controversy by Suzannah B. Troy

Doug Biviano running for State Assembly against Joan Millman in Brooklyn  ha been getting attention in the press finally.

Millman  has been exposed collecting her pension while in office and attempting to double talking her way out when confronted with Biviano and she had some unusual answers all caught on tape.  Yikes.

Is Doug Biviano getting attention because his YouTube throw the bums out has been censored -- it involves YouTube and NBC ( click on these the link http://suzannahbtroy.blogspot.com/2010/08/nbc-is-big-liar-part-3-censorship-doug.html to learn more or Google NBC liar?) or because Doug Biviano's Mom's endorsement is making news or Joan Millman's scandalous double dip?

You decide.

Tiger Woods, old tiger back sexually too? by Suzannah B. Troy

Golf news outlets and fans are joyfully alerting us "the old Tiger is back?  All of Tiger's supporters must be celebrating I am sure.  One bit of news I have never heard reported is what of his good friends slash enablers.  Where are they today?  Are they still in place and still considered his best friends but no more dirty work needed because there is no wife in play to deceive.   So will his best buddies be helping him to play hard off the field as much as he does on the field?

Tiger Woods is a brand.  As much as I am sympathetic to Elin Nordegren and even more so the children she was wearing Nike from head to toe as if to say I am considering staying in the marriage and I understand how many mega bucks Nike makes for my husband aka Tiger Woods brand.  

Have you noticed Elin has stopped being a walking Nike billboard?  I have.

Elin is no weak victim here.  She has suffered.  I have never been married but I had a series of traumatic events (not a lover) so disturbing I too lost weight, lost hair and could not sleep and believe many other women identify with being victimized and having to find someone way to heal so I will be tuning in for that reason but Elin is unusal.

Elin Nordegren walks away with way more than the top pay-out for a Tiger mistress.  All of Tiger Woods pay-outs came with a provision that the women shut up except for one....his wife.

Tiger Woods gave pay-outs to mistresses not because he cared but only to shut them up.  The mistresses that were not paid to be quiet all made it clear he played with them like barbie dolls and threw them away when done without an apology or a nod.

Elin Nordegren's interview in People will possible break People Magazine records because the global audience wants to hear what she has to say.   As I mentioned in my previous post, it is hard to believe she was clueless but either way Nordegren is a compelling young woman and she comes out landing on her feet and appearing quite strong.

Golf news outlets tout the old Tiger is back.   My question is sexually speaking is the old Tiger back?  If so he many guys will envy him and he should consider becoming a porn mogul in his spare time but if the old Tiger is back it won't be good for Tiger Woods the brand.

Suzannah B. Troy calls the S.E.C to ask date Steve Rattner ruling

I called the S.E.C and was transferred to consumer affairs and advocacy -- my IPhone 4 kept cutting out but the woman answering the phone was kind and SANE so I had no problem finally leaving my name and number.  I left a detailed message and I wait for a call back.  Stay tuned....

I explained I am a blogger and activist and I cover a lot of issues re: Mike Bloomberg and corruption and  I read Steve Rattner pleaded the 5th over and over but the newspapers never give a date as to when the S.E.C. is going to actually rule on whether Steve Rattner is going to be banned three years or not.

If so this is highly unusual and sends a very powerful message.  For people who don't understand what is the S.E.C.  think of them as the police, the NYPD of  all kinds of trading on exchange -- stocks, bonds, etc.

Rattner is king Mike Bloomberg's money manager and he urged Mike Bloomberg to run for a third term because both Steve Rattner and Mike Bloomberg do not respect limits of any kinds and perhaps they and the Bloomberg gang had investments and real estate deals, etc. that would greatly benefit if king Mike was in office.

The issue for me also is that it was a conflict of interest for Steve Rattner to be involved in pension fund investments and in the Vanity Fair issue with Lady Gaga on the cover the article on  Ratter says that Cuomo regretted giving Rattner immunity from going to jail -- he got a 12 million dollar fine instead ---Cuomo regretted giving Rattner immunity because he found Rattner less than forth coming and the deal was no jail if he would speak up.  The S.E.C. found Rattner even less talkative pleading the 5th more times than Mike Bloomberg has run for mayor.

Right now people are not paying attention to this or the fact that Mike Bloomberg's appointed representes on the Charter Commission have give city council members a third term with out the people of New York voting on term limits again!

Democracy has been flushed down the toilet here in NYC by Mike Bloomberg again....last year denying us a referendum and now again preventing us from voting on term limits with an immediate impact of either yes or no but mystically the term limits vote won't be in the hands of New Yorkers again for quite awhile thanks to Mike Bloomberg and his friends and more and more people are saying Bloomberg and gang including 3rd term city council continues to throw democracy away for big hefty wheeling and dealings.   When Mike Bloomberg talks about the mosque by the WTC site and democracy it is hard to take him seriously because he has yet again pushed through 3rd terms for city council with out allowing New Yorkers a say and people are asking how great are his business dealings in Dubai and talk is he is expanding....

Mike Bloomberg and Steve Rattner are slick talkers -- Steve isn't lately pleading the 5th over and over to the S.E.C. but for most New Yorkers the word on the street is Mike Bloomberg and smoke and mirrors.

The question is will the S.E.C. clear away some smoke and forth some truth and accountability that will hurt Mike Bloomberg as much as Steve Rattner because Rattner manages billions of Mike Bloomberg's private empire and if he is busted by the S.E.C Mike will have to shift that money yet again.  Rattner shifted it out of Quadrangle because he thought Quadrangle would take the fall and not him. Steve Rattner was wrong.  If Rattner is wrong again the money will once again half to be shifted but Steve Rattner can't touch the money and handle it for 3 years if the S.E.C. bans him and the book he had ghost written bragging how he supposedly saved the auto industry might not make The New York Times best seller list or be plugged by The New York Daily News even though I have read and heard Steve Rattner is also good friends with owner of these papers and managed their money as well.

I am going to Burning Man! by Suzannah B. Troy

Well, I wish I was going to Burning Man.   This beautiful woman is going and she took her short blond hair and did a make-over in preparation.  Isn't her hair beautiful?

The woman behind this magical hair make-over is Dana Divine, The goddess maker....

I won't be going to Burning Man and my hair is not in shape to take on extensions but I can live vicariously through this magical woman and dream.   

Anyone willing to babysit my senior citizen handicap cats because I want to jump on a plane asap and go to Burning Man too!

What is Burning Man?   I can't explain but click here and learn or better yet attend...I wish I was going.

Elin Nordegren People better seller than Sandra's by Suzannah B. Troy

The new issue of People Magazine due out this Friday will leave the Sandra Bullock cover in the dust in terms of sales.

Speaking of this Tuesday, Sandra Bullock will be on Matt Lauer's tv show but she won't talk about baby Louis or Jesse James; she will only talk about Hurricane Katrina.

Back to Elin and People....apparently she had a lot to say.  Sad thing is is Tiger Woods still doesn't get it and when asked about her thoughts he said "I feel the same way."  Wake up Tiger.  You are not capable of feeling the same way.  Here is the video of Tiger posted on TMZ.

Elin Nordegren tells people, "I feel stronger than ever."

She does talk about insomnia, weight loss and any one going through trauma or mourning a death whether of a person or a marriage can relate.  About half of Americans will get divorced and there are plenty more that want out so this caught people's attention but also because Tiger Woods was such a liar and lead such a dark double life so it will be interesting what happens now that he is free to do what he pleases as long as he doesn't jeopardize his relationship any further.  As these kids get older they will need parenting tips about how to deal with kids taunting them about Woods shocking behavior while married to their Mom.

The People Magazine due out this Friday will see like the Iphone4.  Well not as hot as that but it will be a hot item.  People want to hear what she has to say and what she will do.  How about becoming a model for Adidas?

Here is an article from The New York Times about the Elin Nordegren ending her silence.

I would not want to endure what Elin Nordegren did and I feel sorry for the kids.  It is hard to believe she did not lay a hand or a golf club on him.   She has lived the American Dream starting as an au pere and ending up a mega-millionairess.  Good luck and Elin, I just got my nails done.  My nail polish "I am PeaceKeeper" and all the money for Peacekeeper products go to helping abused women....Please do something to help people that are not as lucky as you that can't walk away and take the kids when they need to.

Pride on,

Mike Bloomberg flushes democracy away again by Suzannah B. Troy

Note:  I am a very tired artist and activist -- so I am writing stream of consciousness -- my art and it is important to read the last paragraph first if need be about how Mike Bloomberg flushed democracy down the toilet yet again.  Perhaps he is using the mosque to distract the people from what feels like a crime.

While king Mike Bloomberg is busy being a hero to the Muslim world from moderates to extremists that all share his view that we must have a mosque by the World Trade Center site despite the enormous pain it is causing the victims families still not done burying their dead as more body parts have recently been found and who funds their mosque is none of our business -- and folks Mike feels that way about his Cayman Islands investments as well....

and Mike Bloomberg champions yet another unwelcoming sky scraper blotting out more sun and Mother Earth --  that would over shadow the Empire State Building and push more reckless development that I characterize as greedy and stupid.  Why?  Our infrastructure is shot to hell, Bloomberg and his socialite mega-millionaire city planner Amanda the people's Burden are responsible for mass displacement and we have a city council were many get kick backs from developers called campaign donations....  Amanda the mega-millionaire city planner goes to the American Indian Museum of all places to pat herself on the back for her mass displacement aiding and abetting NYU, Cooper Union and for Columbia University she supports the abuse of eminent domain displacing an entire neighborhood called Manhattanville.....

but that is not even why I am writing this piece today..

Mike Bloomberg does not want you to know or pay attention to the fact that he and his minion have successfully flushed democracy down the toilet yet again.  Bloomberg with the help of his mini-me Christine Quinn and many believe a back room deal -- where she aids and abets him in denying us a referendum and pushes through a third term -- in return king Mike will place his queen Christine as mayor of New York and perhaps he can run the city for a fourth term via Quinn from the golf course!

Read what I wrote about what Bloomberg does not want you to know about a "deal" or a decision made my people he appointed who decided to give city council a third term.  When you get to the posting on my blog....Suzannahbtroy.blogspot.com you will see I list posting after posting of how city council members have abused their position and some like Miguel Martinez would voted to extend term limits admitted he was stealing tax payer money.   I don't have time to give you link after link how investigation in to city council members and staff stealing money where either they plead guilty, some how weaseled out -- sorry to insult weasels or the investigations are still open as in Larry Seabrook as just one example but all the city council members guilty of slush and nepotism, etc. all voted to extend term limits and they get to stay on yet again for a 3rd term without the people of New York City getting to vote on it!!!!!!

Read my piece....

King Bloomberg DOB law suit round 2 NY State Society for Professional Engineers vs. DOB

King Mike has a habit of throwing out the proper requirements for commissioners in city government.  Commissioner Ray Kelly of the NYPD may be the only long standing commissioner that actually worked as a police officer.

Mike Bloomberg tossed out the requirement that the commissioner of DOB have an architectural or engineering degree.   The NY State Society for Professional Engineers took king Mike and DOB to court and lost the first round.

Round two begins September 7th when the case will be appealed in the appellate division.


Stay tuned..

Village Fabric small business closes by Suzannah B. Troy

Village Fabric, wholesale and retail fabrics that has always kept their prices as low as possible for East Village customers for the last 20 years days are numbered.  The landlord jacked up the rent and has a tenant to come in and pay it.

The owner of Village Fabric can't afford the rent and believe it or not customers have offered to pay a  months rent similar to what I have filmed and posted on YouTube regarding Whole Earth Bakery and Kitchen which is part of a YouTube documentary series of mine.

The owner questioned taking  a months rent from a customer because he still would not be able to afford to continue on the next month and the next month.

Another affordable cool store the customers loved is now at deaths door and there are no affordable rents in the area.

Before the mayoral election I wanted to put my political poster lampooning Mike Bloomberg in every empty store front but I was afraid of getting a ticket for each poster and there were so many empty store fronts that Mike Bloomberg even used one on Broadway by the Strand Book store for  a campaign office where I filmed a series of tubes of people protesting Bloomberg and no third term.  Here is just one from the series....

Please note this small business owner like so many others did not get help from city council   Mike Bloomberg in his campaign frenzy suggested loans but what good will loans do in Mike Bloomberg's new hideous New York where greed is good and greed is everything....real people need not apply, you ain't welcome.

Lady Gaga Meets KISS Paul Stanley In A Bikini And His Boots (update)

Lady Gaga and KISS in New Jersey

On Friday, August 20th pop culture history was made when, at the request of the legendary KISS, Lady Gaga went back stage to meet the band, and was wearing KISS Lead Singer Paul Stanley' boots. The result was this iconic photo signaling the mating of two generations of music royalty.

KISS, in Holmdel, New Jersey at PNC Bank Arts Center, for KISS' current "The Hottest Show on Earth" tour performance, surrounds and embraces Lady Gaga.

Lady Gaga's with (from left to right) Gene Simmons, Eric Singer, Lady Gaga, KISS Lead Singer Paul Stanley and Tommy Thayer.


And obviously, Paul Stanley getting the best of the deal in the middle with The Queen of Twitter.

Meanwhile, could Lady Gaga look any hotter than in that black bikini? And to top it off, the boots she's wearing belong to Paul Stanley.

Lady Gaga Rocks Out To KISS

YouTuber NewGagaMusicTV managed to get Lady Gaga in the act of rocking out to KISS. Here's the cool video:



And this is what she was enjoying from KISS:



The Queen of Twitter

That August 20th was the same day Lady Gaga officially became the most followed artist on Twitter, surpassing Britney Spears. Lady Gaga is The Queen of Twitter.

As of this writing, Lady Gaga has 5.8 million Twitter followers. To celebrate the milestone, she made this video for her fans:



Lady Gaga's clearly enjoying her fame.  But what's even cooler is she was in with the fans, and not down in front away from everyone.

She was one of the people!

Mayor Bloomberg Adrian Benepe violating Artists' rights by Suzannah B. Troy

Well mayor Mike Bloomberg's racially charged comments have made the Native American Times and so far king Mike is not apologizing.

He made an inappropriate racist comment urging our accidental governor Dave Paterson to come down hard on the American Indian tribe using the term cowboy.  Mike is obsessed with policing cigarettes here in New York and I was told by a reformed drug addict that king Mike has made it cheaper and easier to buy heroin which is under ten dollars than it is to buy cigarettes.

American Indians blasted king mayor Mike Bloomberg from the steps of City Hall for his racist insensitive remarks and also for wanting to tax them for cigarettes.

Well I have blasted king Mike myself from the steps of City Hall twice when he happened to be walking by  and the 2nd time I got the interaction on YouTube.




For those who have not visited the striking American Indian Museum  NYC downtown please do stop by and visit the museum.    It is free and I love the gift shops as well.

Mike Bloomberg is so busy aiding and abetting shady real estate deals and he and his socialite city planner Amanda the peoples Burden pushed a reckless tsunami of community crushing development and are responsible for mass displacement including the entire neighborhood of Manhattanville for Columbia University.   Where did socialite mega millionaire city planner Amanda the people's Burden go to pat herself on the back but the American Indian Museum.

Mike owes the American Indian Museum an apology but he most likely will not apologize.

I am one of many waiting to find out if his money manager Steve Rattner is going to get banned by the SEC for 3 years for his involvement in the pay to play pension fund scandals.

Denial is the new crack cocaine.   Can we tax Mike Bloomberg and all corrupt politicos for getting high on denial?

Apologize Mike!

LIIR limited service do to fire Notify NYC by Suzannah B. Troy

I a notice from the city about limited service.

Go to Queen Craps for more....good luck getting home....

public transportation is a mess thanks to Bloomberg's rapid expansion and being blind deaf and dumb to infrastructure concerns but who cares as long as developer buddies and financial pals can make big bucks...

good luck getting home....

and the subways -- a mess.....a miracle there are not more collapses under ground and people hurt or losing their sanity as trains pass them by and they are not express trains....the free  rat circus on the tracks and walls and leaking pipes that make me think of the Planet of the Apes....have photos just have not had time to put them up....

Reports:  Big NYPD presence and customers angry at lack of communication as well as options to get home....

Tiger Woods divorce final by Suzannah B. Troy

script type="text/javascript">

NBC reports the divorce between Tiger Woods and  Elin Nordegren is now complete as in marriage officially over and out.   Fox Sports reports more details as well as dismisses rumors about the financial wind fall Nordegren is too receiving saying it will be much lower some where between 100 to 150 million dollars but maybe in time more info will come out.  For now hush, hush accept they will share custody.

He may now be officially one of the most eligible bachelors around with longs lines of women eager to date him because apparently if you are saavy and hire Gloria Allred it may pay off for you big time but plenty of women are hugely turned off by him.

Woods and Nordegren released this statement:

“We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future,” Woods and Nordegren said in a joint statement released by their respective lawyers.

“While we are no longer married, we are the parents of two wonderful children and their happiness has been, and will always be, of paramount importance to both of us.

My final thoughts are Tiger Woods might think about a new career in the porn industry perhaps becoming a media mogul...  He has plenty of fans that will tune in no matter what.  I am not one of them.  Here is an early post of mine on Jesse James and Tiger Woods and sex addiction.

Vanity Fair HBO's Emmy Success and Suzannah b. Troy's thoughts

Hey everybody, it is me Suzannah B. Troy, a NYC artist with a unique perspective on just about everything... Here is an article from Vanity Fair on The Secret of  HBO's Emmy Success.  When you get to the bottom of this piece, they talk about great scripts so that means great writers but my take not mentioned in the article is this....sex, sex, sex, violence and no tv commercials.   Yes, the scripts are good but what local television stations can compete with graphic sex scenes so sizzling hot they are mere inches away from being porno and the violence it just way too graphic for me but people love it.  They love violence.  As seen in my new YouTube asking an adorable young man about The Expendables his only suggestion to make it better is too add more  explosions and make it longer!

A humorous note is just look at True Blood.  I call it "True Bloodiness"  and would prefer to use my imagination but I am not imagining that all the actors in this season have spent even more time hitting the gym except for Tara who was in superb shape all seasons.  Sex sells and people want to go to there TV's to watch it.  True Blood also has some of  the finest actors on TV but so do other local TV show like House which win Emmys as well.  HBO rakes it in because they use have more good writers, good actors and a  lot more  sex, sex, sex and violence.  Yes, it is a no-brainer Martin Scorsese will win lots of gold as in Emmys for his HBO series Boardwalk Empire.  Here is a photo I took posted on my blog of the set from the Scorsese series coming to HBO.

True Blood is bloody good....

Thanks for tuning in....

Harold Dow by Suzannah B. Troy

Harold Dow, an African American correspondent,  award winning shining star at CBS died leaving many people admiring his contributions mourning.  Now the breaking news is he may have died because of a severe asthma attack while driving near his home in Saddlebrook, New Jersey.

Harold Dow won 5 Emmys as well as the admiration of his peers including from other networks.  I believe I saw his memory honored by Channel 11 WPIX local news last night which I thought was quite touching.

He had been diagnosed with adult  onset asthma which I wonder if  I may now have the beginning stages of post-Sept. 11 because if I have to run a few short blocks I get burning pains in my throat and upper chest and it feels hard to breath sometimes.

Also note asthma is a huge problem here in NYC and that standing with protestors fighting to keep a firehouse in Harlem open that mayor Bloomberg did close one reason activists said we need the fire house open is to answer medical calls for asthma which are so high in Harlem.

He worked for 40 years for CBS and covered many powerful pieces such as "48 Hours Crack on the Street", won an Emmy for covering the 1988  bombing of  Pan Am flight 103 over Scotland and he was almost killed at the WTC bombing as he reported so he was truly front line.

He will be missed and his contributions honored as well as remembered....

True Blood fairy good? by Suzannah B. Troy

Warning if you have not seen the new episode yet don't read this!!!!

Sookie is a fairy?   My jaw dropped.  We are suppose to believe Bill loves her for her and not her fairy blood.  If  you believe that you believe in True Love.  If you are cynical and the writers have left the door open a crack because dudes or vamps that truly love you for you are not researching your family tree.... Please forgive me my cynicism back to the romance channel.

Stay calm -- we all love the romance between Sookie and Bill and in real life the actors have made it legal. Read my pre-show post...

This episode was jammed packed with so many sub-plots, mysterious creatures still unrevealed but pure trouble and a wicken.  There is too much to talk about but I just love the series...despite the violence and blood which I could do with out.

Love the teen vampire Jessica...

Tara finally gets closure...hallelujah.  A very good actor bites the dust though.

e Blood fairy good? by Suzannah B. Troy

High on V scenes reminiscent of the first season minus the wild sex scenes...the ones from first season
with Sookie's brother and his than girlfriend mind-blowing...


I do like Sookie and Eric kissing, sorry...it was just a dream... I really like their kissing... but how the ending music about smelling a rat sums it up...darn.


Russell truly bad and what an actor although the entire cast is terrific.

Even the coming attractions were spectacular.

What a sexy soap opera with fangs...  I can't wait until the next episode.   Like the rest of you I wonder how will I make it until season 4 and message to Alan Ball, you better be working on season 5.  I also anticipate a killer cliff hanger to keep very hungry for  season 4...fangs away.....

p.s.  The show does get to the heart of the matter on issues like our first kiss, true love, sexual politics, gay politics and human nature the dark and light sides....
