NYC politics was dominated for decades by the political clubhouses of the Irish, the Jews and the Italians. All this is changing as new immigrant Asians begin to outnumber the old immigrant party bosses. The old slogan of a chicken in every pot has been transformed into Chicken Tandoori for every clay pot oven.
Party supplied breadlines now distribute Chinese pancakes, paratha and kultcha. Gandhi has replaced the patron saint Kennedys and Cuomos and cab drivers have traded in their Brooklynese for Bengalese.
Limos have given way to highly adorned pachyderms double parked outside Gracey Mansion and not even Woody Allen can rival the Bollywood film explosion. The city council will be considering a proposal to rename NY New New Delhi and New New Delhi public schools will no longer close for Rosh Hashannah or Yom Kippur. Krishna's Birthday will be celebrated instead.
