"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
....
For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men--"
Shakespeare
And, speaking of honorable men, NYC has endorsed an administration of just such 'honorable men'....the DeBlasio administration.
After all.....these folks won because they are in favor of social justice, of income equality, of fairness.
What could be more honorable?

But it was the citys new public advocate, Letitia James, who delivered the harshest attack, a fiery speech that read like a wholesale repudiation of the Bloomberg era.
The growing gap between the haves and the have-nots undermines our city and tears at the fabric of our democracy, James said.
She went on to describe a gilded age of inequality where decrepit housing developments stand in the shadows of multimillion-dollar condos and stop-and-frisk abuses have been touted as success stories as if crime can only be reduced by infringing on the civil liberties of people of color.

3. 'Tish' James....now there's a person truly concerned with the little guy....with justice, fairness....Isn't she?
"Councilwoman Letitia "Tish" James (D-Fort Greene) is suing a day laborer for causing "serious, severe and permanent [injuries] to her limbs and body" after she walked into a four-inch trailer hitch protruding from the back of his parked car. According to court documents cited in the Brooklyn Paper, James says she suffered "great physical and mental pain" when she brushed against the hitch and cut her leg in Fort Greene last July.
After parking behind the itinerant worker's car on Fulton Street between S. Portland Avenue and S. Oxford Street, James says she hurt her leg while walking between the vehicles. "It's a public safety issue," said James, who claims the incident left her with a seven-inch scar.
Councilwoman Files Suit After Walking Into Parked Car: Gothamist
4. "Councilwoman Letitia James has filed a personal injury suit against an itinerant laborer after she allegedly injured herself walking into his legally parked truck..... court documents also allege that the injuries caused James to be unable to attend to her usual occupation though the alleged pain and suffering occurred on the eve of the councilwomans re-election campaign, one that she waged with her typical vigor against two primary rivals.
Please dont go forward with it, he wrote to James in February. You are famous and powerful while Im a nobody without means whos done you no harm.
He also pointed out that he makes roughly one-tenth of Jamess salary,
The larger irony of Jamess suit, of course, is that the councilwoman, not Day, may be the person who broke traffic regulations.
Walking between two parked cars could be jaywalking." It?s a Tish-grace! Councilwoman James sues over scratch ? The Brooklyn Paper
5. "One opportunist, Public Advocate Letitia James, saw fit to rail against the gilded age of inequality, while being far from a model civil rights advocate herself.
James slapped 61-year-old Texas laborer David Day with a lawsuit in March 2010 for a shin scrape she sustained after illegally jaywalking into his legally parked trailer hitch in Fort Greene. Tish, then raking in $122,000 a year as a councilwoman, heartlessly ignored Days plea for leniency and hired a team of lawyers to gouge the struggling senior for what she claimed were serious, severe and permanent [injuries] to her limbs and body.
At the time, James refused medical treatment and denied this newspaper access to her medical records."
