It’s pretty funny how the Republicans can come to our city, stand in front of Ground Zero and talk about how they are going to help New York and the country come out of economic hardships; everything is going to be OK. Be happy and rich, vote Republican! This kind of thing sounds really good [...]

Ok, so they’ve moved one of the fans so it isn’t blowing directly on my neck, but still it’s noisy as hell. I’ve brought earplugs for today and plan to spend the entire day ignoring the phone.
