Will the Real New Yorkers Please Rise?

What hogwash. The vast majority of New Yorkers wanted the smoking ban, and business has never been better. The reason so many upper west siders decry the deadly, inept and corrupt cesspool Bush and his non-military cohorts have created in Iraq is not that they're liberal but that they pay attention, and can think. If Bush had just stayed with Afghanistan till the job was done, he'd have been a hero. He was too busy throwing the nation into massive debt, squandering our resources and our ideals. Yes, Ms. Colon, we long for the good old days, when America represented a shining beacon of truth and justice to the world and to ourselves.
