Instead, the conventioneers will speak about their love of the City, invest in Broadway shows, hotdog vendors and hookers, and then go, feeling noble and daring. New York, New York, it's a hell of a stage set!

Governor Davis went to Cheney and to the Federal Energy Regulatory Comm. saying that there were illegal market manipulations happening with the energy traders and that California needed help to contol them. He got back, "California needs to look to their own faulty deregulation laws" (enacted by a republican gov, I might add, if I was bitter...) is what we got from the federal (un) elected officials. They were too busy at the time ...nurturing Enron. And now, the republican goons are foisting a recall Davis campaign on us. Because, darn it, when they lose an election it is obviously not set up well enough. No one remembers this, but George was full of tough love for California too.

And the election certainly was not set up so well, or we wouldn't have had a 10% or so third-party vote. And recalling Davis might actually work for the Democrats, because there are at least three Repubs likely to run and most of the top Democrats have already refused to dive in. If one Democrat runs against three Republicans, well, do the math. Melanie: You must admit that while Davis didn’t cause the problems, he reacted to them in a singularly inept fashion.

Someday (probably after NY is leveled by these assholes you might understand they mean business, and so should we. As GWB would say " Ain't a better defense than a good offense" On your knees... either to thank our current President for being the awesome leader he is, or you will be on your knees when these butt fucks attack again. Me? I prefer the former. Bush in 2006 !!!! I will say I find it amusing that the highest concentration of anti-war protesters came from New York City, the target of the terroists attacks.
