"Tim Steward, of the Federation of Small Businesses, said hundreds of businesses in the city would "shut up shop".

If I was a shop owner and I knew 1 million leftists were coming to my town, I wouldn't shut my shop to attend my best friend's funeral. No, what I'd do is stock up on anti-Bush bumper stickers and marijuana paraphernalia. After the leftist's left I would retire.
