Well I guess now that Sept. 11th is over the New York Bashing will start again full force. But as you know we New Yorkers don't give a Rat's A$$. ;-)

New York has been a crime-riddled pest hole for a long time now, why can't we bash it?

[Onelifetogive]

Oh, like we Alabamians have never had to put up with any bashing before. Let us have at least one turn at getting even.

Your complaints about being bashed fall on my deaf Californian ears.

Now you know why NY GETS bashed : precisely because you don't give a rat's ass about the rest of the world; because you believe the center of the known universe is at Times Square;because you believe the primary function of the Nation is to ensure a rich, steady flow of tax dollars into your corrupt city; because your smug Media insist your filthy, essentially ungovernable city should be America's Role- Model- for- the- Ages; because...Oh Hell ! Why go on ? I'm way too old to finish my NYC bash in my lifetime !
