New York finally achieves it's own orbit!

New Yorkers (city and state) have long since been known for being on a slightly different wavelength than the rest of the planet, but recent events seem to indicate that they have indeed achieved an orbit entirely separate from the rest of us.

The most prominent of these events is the Transit Union Workers strike, which is now in it's second day. Here are a bunch of geniuses who think they're going to get more money out of a city that is going to lose millions this holiday season because them striking, thus prohibiting thousands of people from getting to their favorite shopping destinations. If a union wants to organize a strike, fine; but at least consider a few of the basic rules of economics before you do it.

Of course, we also have the New York Times fiasco that was discussed in the previous post - nothing more need be said on that.

They elected a woman as Senator (The dishonorable Ms. Clinton) who probably couldn't tell you what the various subway lines in the city are nor much else about the rest of the state. By the way, thanks for legitimizing her entry into the national political stage. She'll more than likely pave the way for another Republican administration unless Ross Perot decides it's time to run for President - again; then we're really in deep shit because she might actually win!

They keep going to overpriced ball games as George Steinbrenner is creating a payroll that should soon put ticket prices on par with airfare to most major U.S. cities.

After 4 years of bickering over designs, they still can't decide on how to build a new World Trade Center. Here's a suggestion - try a referendum before the 10 year mark comes and ground hasn't been broken yet. Hell, let Trump build his design if you have to. Just start building something up already before the 9/11 generation is too senile to appreciate it.

Earth to New York, Earth to New York, come in New York! We're losing you!
