I had a few brawls in my Manhattan days...once at the Ritz (Husker Du) and once outside the China Club.
Wish I could be there with ya.....it could be fun.
* we even tracked down a Columbus Ave mugger once and kicked his butt in the projects...oh, to be wild and young again.
I gotta love how they're b!tching that 'undocumented people' are targeted disproportionately by the police. Isn't their very presence here illegal? So why shouldn't they be targeted?
And just what the hell is a 'trans folk'??? Is that a he-she?
Ah, but is America really seeing it?
well, that NY Times article went out and its in a lot of papers for Tuesday...
keep emailing the bloggers so they will link it, then the MSM who read the blogs for ideas will see it....
The huge headline in my newspaper today said something like:
MASSIVE, PEACEFUL PROTEST AGAINST BUSH
(or something like that).
The Seattle Times. (They endorsed Kerry 2 days ago, but I dowubt that they are biased!)
Yeah, I think that's what most people will get, unfortunately. FReepers have this tendency to think that the public as a whole sees and hears everything. They don't.
They know what the media masters want them to know. Yeah, that's changing, but the important question is whether it's changing fast enough. I'm not at all sure that it is.
Free speech for me, but not for thee...
Amen. Especially considering some of them are professional protestors, and are probably being "put up" by the likes of moveon.org, answer. Coordination between these non-profits and the Kerry campaign; people being hurt.
'Her husband, Jim, said he could not understand it. "I have friends who are Democrats in Texas, and we talk about things, agree to disagree."'
Gosh, you mean it's possible Texas is more civilized than (insert Pace Picante Sauce voice here)...NEW YORK CITY?
A group calling itself the Man in Black Bloc plans to protest it, saying it is angered that the convention intends to honor the late country singer Johnny Cash, who typically performed dressed in black.
How fricken stoopid is that? Do these protestors have more than 4 functional brain cells between them all? They seem to be the absolute worst America has to offer outside of prison.
OT....but does anybody remember that the very first Pace Picante Sauce commercials said "NEW JERSEY"???????
I remember that very clearly in the year 1975-1976.....
Now that you mention it, I do remember the NJ version... but I don't remember why it was changed, do you?
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
