New York City recently hosted primaries for the upcoming Mayoral election, the first step in determining who will be the next Mayor of the greatest city in the world (take that Spokane, Washington!). Being the Mayor of the Five Boroughs is a pretty big deal. The job includes regulating soda pop consumption, occasionally appearing on Saturday Night live, wearing a sash, and fighting hurricanes with one's bare hands. Sometimes the Mayor even has to speak Spanish. It's not a job for the feint of heart. Even though it's a municipal job, the Mayor of New York City is a national, even global figure. There were a whole lot of names in the big mayoral top hat, ranging from City Councilmen, Comptrollers, The Chairman of the MTA, and the one, the only, the aptly named Anthony "Carlos Danger" Weiner. Other than the guy with the famous penis, I wasn't too familiar with a lot of the candidates. Now that Joe Lhota and Bill de Blasio have emerged as each party's respective nominees, I'm a little flummoxed as to who I should be casting my ballot for, being a newly registered voter in Manhattan. In fact, other than that fake job description I made up above, I really have no idea what the Mayor does. I guess they're like the president of town? Like most things in the world, pretty much all of my knowledge is based off of things that I've seen in movies and on television. So for the November 5th election, I'll be looking for the qualities found in pop culture's greatest Mayors.
