Just a zhlub from Brooklyn now from from East Village. Definitely made a sharp right turn politically after 9/11...not that I was a flaming liberal before that. FR is a great website. It is really difficult existing here in the belly of the Donkey, although the local Republican gang has not impressed me either. In this first year of Our Lord and Savior Barack Obama I am supporting the Tea Party here in New York and hope to see more like-minded protests as the Administration screws us up more and more.
