NEW YORK TIMES   "Demand at New York City food pantries and soup kitchens jumped 20 percent this year, according to an annual survey released by the New York City Coalition Against Hunger.

"The demand, along with dwindling federal resources, has forced about half of the food providers surveyed to ration their supplies. The increase continues from 2006, when demand jumped 11 percent over the previous year. The survey was based on responses from 291 of the more than 1,200 agencies that run soup kitchens, food pantries and emergency food programs in the five boroughs."

****people are going hungry in new york city.  george bush doesn't care a hoot.  michael bloomberg doesn't care a hoot.  the rest of the bums who run both the united states government and the new york city government don't give a hoot.

the real bad guy in all of this is the city's human resources administration commissioner robert doar who has the responsibility to see that the poorer folks in this city eat, have medical care, and a warm place to live.  he is a political hack who probably will spend today working on his travel and entertainment expense account.  hopefully by next thanksgiving he will be unemployed.  then, we can really give thanks.
