We have a challenger to take down squeaky Spice!


Ladies and gentlemen, we have a primary.

A socially conservative pastor who has repped the central Bronx on the City Council for more than a decade on Thursday launched a campaign against liberal firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

“We have a congresswoman that is literally steering us in the wrong direction,” Councilman Fernando Cabrera told the Daily News. “The district needs someone that’s going to be present, that’s going to attend to quality-of-life issues that are so pertinent to that district, someone that’s going to equally represent the Bronx and Queens together, who’s not going to run more jobs out of New York City.”

With her social media savvy and relentless attacks on President Trump, AOC has rocketed to national fame since her stunning defeat of former Rep. Joe Crowley in 2018.

But Cabrera notes all politics are local, and contends AOC’s rhetoric and open embrace of socialism are out of synch with her district. It includes Jackson Heights and other north Queens nabes along with a swath of the east Bronx.

Principles matter. Words matter.

Amen.  But AOC has all the makings of a Vampire. The undead and she looks like she could keep coming back and back!   There are a few good ways to kill vampires, but most require close proximity to the monster, which sucks donkey balls because of the whole "they drink your blood" thing. Wooden stakes through their non-beating hearts are the best way to kill them again (for good). You can also decapitate one with a sword or a chainsaw or something. Get creative. Vampires are weak against garlic (who isn't?), silver, holy water and other Christian jinxes and trinkets. So get yourself a Jesus-on-a-tree necklace if you plan on facing one. Have a non-pedofile priest bless your crucifix necklace for bonus points. Remember, you don't bleep with the Jesus.

Sunlight kills the shit out of vampires better than wooden stakes. The problem is that most vampires aren't stupid, and know when the sun comes up, so tricking one into staying in a window-filled room or outside till breakfast time may be difficult. A good way to kill a vampire without getting near him is to shoot them with a wooden arrow from a distance.  Vampires are fast! Think of how Benny Hill used to run when a mob of angry people was after his tubby ass for peeping in on a women's locker room. The usual vampire can run that fast. Vampires can also be killed by big explosions. You'll find that blowing shit up is probably the best way to kill most monsters that you might come across.

But I digress.  She could be a mortal but why take a chance!  This Cabera dude is a pastor so we have that as a plus in the race against a vampire.

In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
