Yeah for Global Warming!

Neoliberalism can’t take the heat

[Safetgiver]

WTF is a OZY? Harets Husband? RCKY’s dad?

Nothing more I want to do then sit on a lawn chair and watch Rachel Ray.

[Robert DeLong]

I'm happy too, but for different reasons:

Scheduled for this weekend in Central Park, the cultural festival, now in its fourth year, had a lineup that included John Legend, Trevor Noah, Megan Rapinoe, Padma Lakshmi, Malcolm Gladwell, Spike Lee and Mark Cuban.

...which was described by OZY Fest officials as “a truly unique blend of thought leadership alongside incredible music, comedy and food.”

Numerous celebrities and influencers were slated to attend — including musician John Legend, chefs Marcus Samuelsson and Rachael Ray, comedian Trevor Noah and even 2020 Democratic hopeful Beto O’Rourke.

Some real intellectual heavyweights there.

A leftist festival starring extremely mediocre musicians like John Stephens aka John “Legend” and other leftist morons with extremely pretentious names. And then they have live “discussions” - ie; Trump bashing - with US hating lesbian soccer putz Megan Rapinoe and Beto ORourke, Spike Lee....Just try to imagine the worst kind of leftist hell going on in the worst kind of leftist sewerhole in existence on the east coast - NYC, and you start to get an idea of it. And incredibly, people paid actual money to go to this.

Nice target for something thermobaric.

New Yorkers, on the other hand — who blasted the city for renting out a typically free public space and “going capitalist” — were ecstatic

I wouldn't call that "going capitalistic." Rather, I would call it another example of greedy Progressive government looking for an additional source of revenue.

The greediest, more money-hungry people I've ever met have been Progressives/Liberals/Democrats.

[RegulatorCountry]

People actually paid money to sit out in the heat in Central Park just to hear that soccer lesbian bellowing ignorant political slogans and doing weird pelvic thrusts across the stage?

Why?

[firebrand]

I’m glad one of our best Parks commissioners, Adrian Benepe, spoke up about this. His father was the founder of the green markets. A family truly concerned about our city. Adrian also gave us permission to use Dag Hammarskjold Park across from the UN for one of our FR UN protest events.

“...John Legend, Trevor Noah, Megan Rapinoe, Padma Lakshmi, Malcolm Gladwell, Spike Lee and Mark Cuban.”

I wouldn’t have given up a good dump to attend that lib/lefty mashup.

[LRoggy]

Should have let it go on! Might have gotten a few of the legendary thinkers with heat exhaustion . . . and we could have measured before and after temperatures to see how much global warming their lectures caused . . .

[mikey_hates_everything]

I heard a lot of radio advertising for this for at least the last month, maybe earlier. Good luck getting those refunds!

[SunkenCiv]

Someone forgot to drop off the bribe money.

[raccoonradio]

I read once that Legend lost his $30,000 cuff links at an airport.Boy was it a load off my mind to hear they were found.

[mad_as_he$$]

lol...Have you noticed how big she got after she started selling dog food?

[Ikeon]

Rachel ray has a lot of personal strife in her life. her ex truned out to be gay! that would make most decent women eat gallons of icecream and pounds of dove choclate. So until she opens her mouth and starts soinding like joy blowme from the veiw. Ill give her a pass.

as for ozxyfest. I'd sooner eat a booger than trade it away for a free pair of tickets.
