I see no reason for dems to trample the crap out of the green. Let them march in the street and dodge Jamacian cabbies who never touch their brakes.
What a stupid socialist simp! Yes, it's for the people -- the people who live in NYC and pay taxes in NYC! It's not for a bunch of smelly, doped-up out-of-towners to come in and destroy with their stupid riots!
These turds have no rights to be making demands on us and our wallets!
Are you staying in the City for the Convention or seeking shelter in a saner location?
These days, it's more like Muslim drivers.
What these people don't get (or refuse to get) is that when events (such as the marathon mentioned) take place at the park, the events pick up the tab for clean-up and damage to the lawn. No way the anarchists would do that. It'd be up to the taxpayers. THAT is the real point.
I'm a volunteer at one of the "priority" hotels.
Of course, I'm going out of my way to avoid these miserable miscreants.
I haven't visited the Holy City of New York since '94. They were Haitians and Jamaicans back then. No brakes, but free with the hand gestures.
It's the Muslim cab drivers who seethe and mumble that worry me.
Please give us an insight ala Vanities to any observations of note while you are volunteering, please! :-)
We had them in SF some many years ago. I know you do, but warn newbies to town to stay away from the jitneys.
Haven't the left been telling us for years that the environment is more important than human beings?
sure, but first I'm trying to figure out WTF this sign (the one on the white paper) is all about?!
"We're on a slippery slope
Hmmm, someone must have just watered the grass.
when we start saying that the rights of grass trump the rights of the people to protest."
Did anyone remember to submit an Environmental Impact Statement to the EPA to check that out?
The landscape has rights, too," she insisted.
Right on!!! lady.
Ohhh the irony of it all ROTFLM( | )O!!!
That does indeed merit a WTF? Maybe they forget that they aren't allowed to unionize?
That's an enigma, GOP Chick. I think we need a decorder ring to crack that one.
Considering the park is looking the best its EVER looked, I think the Conservancy/Parks Dept should be commended and keep doing what they haave been doing. Limiting restricting damagin usage and allowing for grass down time as required.
Or some major drugs!
That on goes right past me too. Poor Starbuck's workers. Maybe the realize a career in lattes just doesn't have the glamour of years past?
Cape Cod is protected as part of the National Seashore. Development is regulated, but the feet of humans and the rise in sea level due to global warming are still causing destruction on the beaches of the Cape. .... It takes as few as twenty human footsteps to destroy the beach grass Amophila breviligulata
