Have I mentioned how much I love the TV show Castle? Not in a while? Well here we go. I love the show. Most of all, I love how the show is now a thing. If you follow on Facebook you get the website administrator, someone who posts as Castle as if Castle has a life outside of what we see on the show and thus some pretty interesting insights into the City of New York itself. That said, I'm kinda digging the NYC scene. Today on the Blogs of Note, The King of New York City Hacks gets the nod.
He is a native born and bred New Yorker, yellow taxi driver and the eyes and ears of the city he calls home. Great sense of humor and community. I've read everything on his page and followed. I particularly like his thoughts on the whole Goldman Sachs thing. Puts me in mind of the Robber Barons from the early part of our Industrial Revolution. Just like our ancestors did a hundred or so years ago, we are sitting around waiting for someone else to mete out justice. If they had held a gun to your head and held up your train you'd fight them. But they do it within the parameters of law and commerce, which is to the Robber Barons the new "you're too stupid to grasp this" as theology was to the dark ages church. So we believe we are too stupid to question their imperatives and they keep robbing us blind. The King puts it a bit differently but the sentiment is the same.
Totally worth a trip to the site even if you don't decide to follow. http://kingofnewyorkhacks.blogspot.com/
