Knife in Back: political payback for NY


I guess fronting the $multi-million tab for the GOP convention just wasn't enough to spare us from future repraisals. Guess I better get that kit together afterall - accepting spare rolls of duct tape....

Look on the bright side New York - the Gulf Coast is doing just fine with Mr. Chertoff and compassionate conservatism.

Mets, Yankees win!

I was buying a sprite on webster avenue in the bronx today when I saw those headlines. Some town in long island just got a property tax hike of 25% and pse&g of nj, you know, the ones that teardown the monk parakeet birds nests, they're hiking electricity rates 13.4%.

but i've got a great idea c, let's go shopping in mid-town!!! shame we didn't get a chance to say goodbye to katie c. at rockefeller plaza yesterday.

I guess we should cut our tax subsidies to the feds - with a note, courtesy of Boston and NY - let Kentucky pickup the slack...
CJR - what's the ratio for MA and NY with regard to Federal tax revenue compared to other states? By NY I mean the City. the State is bust so no help there. Maybe its time to move the "Artworld", lock stock and barrel. Who should we invade?

Thanks CJR - thems the numbers I had bouncin' round. It truly is astonishing and NY is still the only city that is actually a part of the war on terror - every other place else is just fiction (at least for now)
ps.
Don't tell Lou Dobbs about NM figures or that GOP operative b*tch sending bricks to Congress.

I can see the truck load of art right now humming along, ready to deposit dildos, glitter, cat art, and masturbatory comic inspired paintings on the rebel souls of the newly coined ARTANA! M.Barney could be Guvner - a vaseline tub for every voter.

As a kid, I moved to New York the very week of the "Ford to City: Drop Dead" headline. Only now, Washington means it literally.
