R7 E-Mail To A Friend in Texas

I've been no where near Manhattan...here in Brooklyn you wouldn't know there was a convention in town. There have been many protest...luckily, Ray Kelly is the Police Commisssioner he's as fair as they come and he is totally non-political, but, than you have the government gestapo forces in the mix...I don't trust them at all. I steer clear of children carry automatic weapons. There was a mass exodus of New Yorkers from Manhattan last week...most mid-towners left town. Most of the protesters, as is the case with the conventioneers, are out-of-towners. Most New Yorkers don't give a rat's ass about this Republican Circus...it's just an enormous inconvenience. The businesses within an 18 block radius of Madison Square Garden can't get any deliveries...no trucks allowed...it has been devastating on the mid-town economy. 42nd Street looks like a ghost town at night...all that's needed is some tumbling tumble weed. The mayor...New Yorks amusing version of the mayor of Munchkin Land...Bloomberg has been missing in action...he doesn't want to seen anywhere near the RNC...deathly afraid to be photographed with Bush or Cheney or the Twins or the Austrian actor turned fibulator. Elections for mayor are up-coming next year and he knows these photos can come back to haunt him. I'm glad, though, that unlike in Boston protest were allowed in some measure...100's of thousands from all spectrums and ideologies have had their say. Boston was a total disgrace. Today top terrorist honcho Dubya Bush makes his appearance and we New Yorkers will bid the RNC a fond good-riddance.
