    That's not a holiday tree, it's a Christmas tree.

    Gigi Li, the chairperson of Community Board 3, did not demonstrate a pattern of failing to appoint black or Latino members to leadership positions on the board during her first year as chairperson.

    Nevertheless, Li and the board’s leadership “failed to sufficiently emphasize the value of diversity and inclusion.”

    I find it hard to believe that members of the East Village neighborhood would fail to emphasize the Hispanic and black communities in the area. *snert*

    Glad that the career net tax consuming parasite Silver was arrested. Hopefully he'll get some
    hard jail time. I could never figure out why anyone would vote for this lowlife. Oh, I forgot, this is Havana-on-the-Hudson, Union of Soviet Socialist Boros.

    Peace through Anarchy

    For the sake of consistency you should probably also change Billie Holliday to Billie Christmas.
