Although I'm somewhat nearby, I'll be staying away from NYC for awhile. I did just get back from a week in San Francisco. My daughters and I went west to spread my wife's ashes in, where else? The Muir Woods (see screen name). Anyway the week we spent in SF was like a week at a zoo. I couldn't believe then number of people openly hostile to the president. One clown wore a large, very long T-shirt (and apparently nothing else) with a large picture of W with the words "International Terrorist" written across it. Many of the little shops had posters and other signage deriding W. The street people have figured it out and many sport Kerry buttons. I was trying to make a phone call near Union Square and this doufus with a sign board for the DNC and a petition was collecting signatures. He was yelling at people walking by and, somehow, I made eye contact. He asks me if I will help him (HIM!) defeat George Bush. I looked him right in the eye and I said, "I've been hoping for his re-election for 4 years and am actively working for it now"

I never knew it was so easy to shut up a moron. He just looked at me and moved on. Amazing. SF has to be about as bad an example of Blue-State mentality as exists. Other places might be as bad but SF is truly horrible. Too bad, nice town once.

SOrry to hear a special time of remembering your wife had to be marred with those images.

To bad you couldn't of stayed someplace else.

My condolences on your loss muir_woods. You're right, this is the leftist city I have ever seen in my life. There are folks you could relate to out here...a lot of them believe it or not...we're just significantly outnumbered. Glad you verbally spanked a few. I do it daily.

All the best to you (from the belly of the beast).
