$115,000 to twitter and facebook?! You have got to be kidding me. This is where our money is going? Barf.

What! No wonder this city is going broke. Bloomberg is getting desperate. He knows the city is near bankruptcy. So he is pulling out all the stops he needs in order to get people to come here, so he can take their hard-earned money. No wonder my girlfriend keeps yelling that she is leaving this place. She told me she's had it. I can understand why.

OMG. Sarah Palin pays someone like $18k to write her tweets.

The city should really use that money for good rather than for...this.

I hate when arcane bureaucracies have the bright idea to dust themselves off and enter the modern age, and end up pissing away a huge budget on something as ill conceived as this.
