But overall, New York City can absorb twenty thousand Republicans and nobody will notice two blocks from the Garden.

That's totally true. Walking around NYC this week, watching the Gay Pride parade, I don't get a feeling of much political interest here. There were the mandatory Kerry supporters in a little group yesterday, of course, but I've seen more political activity in other elections. I think the city is giving this political year a big yawn except in a very perfunctory way at the usual liberal venues.

Any time there's a convention of the rich and powerful in town I'm sure the sex workers take notice. But I doubt whether the Republican convention will produce a noticeable increase in business. Most of the delegates will be ordinary people and many will probably bring their families to see a show or visit the town.

I wonder if John Kerry could say that he would be honored to earn the right to be called the first queer president.

Interesting...

Actually, there will probably be more members of the liberal media there than republican delegates.

Those people are the ones who will need the entertainment.

There will also be many liberal protestors there. But the great unwashed will not be very good customers.

I take mild offense at your tag line only insofar as is necessary to point out that the greatest languages of philosophy have been (in no particular order) Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French, Chinese and German.

But, perhaps you are just referring to the debate on using Spanish in America, in which case I will chalk it up to domestic politics and not a commentary on the history of philosophy and the overwhleming influence the thoughts of non-English speakers have had on the cultural, moral, economic, philosophical and political foundations of the United States.

The News isn't worth the paper it's printed on, but I stand by my prediction that the News WILL endorse Bush this fall..

I'd like to know if it's actually the press that uses their services -- as a matter of professional courtesy to their own kind.

Welcome to the United States of the Offended.

Funny but not really an explanation. Am I on the right track in terms where you are going with the tag line or do I have to put you on "the list"?

One would hope that our delegates are smart enough to realize that a substantial number of the whores will be DNC plants trying to get blackmailable dirt on them.

I wonder if any Republican Officials will have there Mugshots posted on thesmokinggun.com during the GOP Convention.

"It's going to be big," agreed one operator at a midtown escort service.

One would hope.

A simple misunderstanding - it's "politicians" and "snowjobs," my dear.

You're replying to the wrong person.

Isn't that how Andy Granatelli got rich? No, wait a minute, that was men and screwdrivers, or was it men screwing drivers, I'm gonna have to go back and look this up.
