NYC is set to explode

A couple of things from Ted Rall's latest column, "NYC TO GOP: DROP DEAD," piqued my interest.

The original plan was to have Bush shuttle between Madison Square Garden and Ground Zero for photo ops to coincide with the third anniversary of the September 11th attacks. Bush's visits to the Trade Center site were quietly canceled a few months back after 9/11 survivors expressed revulsion at the idea.

Think about all the Republicans who claim liberals that hate Bush are nuts, then read that over again. How could anyone not perceive him as nothing but an asshole for even planning to pull a stunt like this? It gets better...

..some groups are encouraging liberal-minded New Yorkers to volunteer for the city's squad of official greeters. Creatively altered maps of streets and subways will be handed out to button-clad stupid white men. Other saboteurs wearing fake RNC T-shirts will direct them to parts of town where Bush's policies have hit hardest. Rumor has it that prostitutes suffering from sexually transmitted diseases will discourage the use of condoms with Republican customers.

Some may complain about that last item, since giving Republicans STDs is actually harming them. But what business does anybody from the family values clique have getting a hooker?

Fuck'em. They deserve everything their transgressions foster.
