Can't understand how the transit workers and the MTA could finally break through their impasse and come to a deal on a new contract? Someone on Craigslist has the answer, naturally:

*Last night, Michael Bloomberg and Roger Toussaint did the unthinkeable; they turned to Blackface Jesus for mediation and guidance. After BFJ's mother served the trio Ecuadorian mushroom tea, BFJ talked to the two leaders about possible alternatives to the transit strike. Below is an excerpt from the new King James Bible (the A-team made a few additions last night):

BLOOMBERG
Later, we took a leisurely ride on BFJ's scooter.

TOUSSAINT
Michael baby, you're getting ahead of yourself.

BLOOMBERG Sorry, Rogererer. Sorry, So... happy. And so many colors. If I stare at this wall long enough I think I may be able to paint it with my eyes.

TOUSSAINT
So. After tea, which by the way, Mrs. Blackface Jesus, was gum-smacking delicious, Michael and I realized that our similarities were greater than our differences....

OK, it makes no sense, and it's under the impression that Bloomberg has anything to do with this, when he doesn't — the MTA is a state agency — but, still, admit it: You always kind of knew Blackface Jesus would bring peace on earth, or at least at the MTA, didn't you?
