Reverend Billy (and Occupy Wall Street) look forward to Spring!

Posted on December 29, 2011 by kwilder

It’s been a long, sad winter already. Though, we have passed Winter Solstice. So, as Reverend Billy writes, we are all barreling towards Spring. Reverend Billy says, “More heat and more light. Amen, Revolujah!” Reverend Billy Looks Forward to Spring Video posted on the front page of OccupyWallSt.org Late December will never be about shopping […]

Rev Billy prophetic: Reports say Bloomberg spent $102 million dollars

Posted on November 28, 2009 by iwilder

On election day, November 3, 2009, a whimsical post appeared at the Reverend Billy for Mayor of NYC website. Reverend Billy’s campaign claimed that, since he had just won $100 million dollars in the lottery, Reverend Billy now had a fair chance to beat Mayor Bloomberg for Mayor. Here is the headline: “REV. BILLY TALEN […]

At 10% precincts reporting, news calls for Bloomberg win

Posted on November 3, 2009 by kwilder

(excerpt from Politico) Bloomberg III NBC called the New York mayor’s race just now, with Mike Bloomberg up about 7 percent and just under 10 percent of precincts reporting. So, it looks likely that Bloomberg has won a third term. Though, I think it is odd to call the race with only 10% reporting. Of […]

Rev Billy Talen wins $100 million in lottery!

Posted on November 3, 2009 by kwilder

Well, since Reverend Billy was a performance artist before he was a candidate, I suppose this could be less than factual. But, it is posted at the Reverend Billy Talen for NYC Mayor campaign blog: Post is here Rev. Billy Talen Announces $100 Million Lottery Win! November 3, 2009 REV.

“Reject Bloomberg on November 3!”, says ICE teachers union members

Posted on October 30, 2009 by kwilder

KW: I truly see independent and third party politics as a journey to freeing people from the regular, old choices. So, I love voting advice that inspires people, and makes them consider other options. I think that the way a group within the United Federation of Teachers [UFT] union instructs people to vote this year […]

How did Reverend Billy get to be a reverend (and a Mayor candidate)?

Posted on October 29, 2009 by kwilder

KW: Not sure how much this video will help with the Reverend Billy for Mayor of New York City campaign. Though, it is very cool and interesting. Lots of thoughts on religion, and what it means to be a pastor.

Reverend Billy gets a blog endorsement

Posted on October 28, 2009 by kwilder

from Handy Instrumental The New Mayor of NYC (including a big photo of Reverend Billy with his choir behind him.) At first I didn’t care. “He’s fine.” I thought of Uncle Mike, “I don’t love everything that he does, but at least there are more bike lanes.”

Mixed Blessings: Rev Billy in AP coverage of Pittsburgh G-20 protests

Posted on September 24, 2009 by kwilder

KW: The AP Story has a certain bias towards the status quo. The article paints an unflattering portrait of the anarchists. But, at least it blames “a small group” or anarchists of throwing things, rather than the hundreds of other protesters. (But, just another divide and conquer tactic?) Also, the story mentioned Reverend Billy Talen, […]
