-Short Attention Span Theater-
Barry lectures on ethics during chaotic Council session
I listed this in Short Attention Span Theater, only because there is not Parallel Universe category on the Burg.

#1  Well guys, after reading this little article, I think we need a "Parallel Universe" category.

What with the Presidential election coming up, the only place we can put some of the horse manure the MSM will spread to run cover for Bambi would be a Parallel Universe. Of course, anytime a WH Presser is covered, that's Paralllel Universe stuff also.

#3  Thought this was going to be the other Barry. That said: That is like a pr0stitute making a plea for chastity. Or Willy Sutton complaining about the service at the bank.

#4  Pardon the multiple postings. My original submission hung and I thought my wording was too risque.

#5  Fixed. It happens to all of us eventually, JohnQC.

-Election 2012
President Obama's visit to cause mass transit disruptions during rush hour
President Barack Obama is making another trip to New York City that could cause big problems for commuters.

He's scheduled to arrive in New York City Thursday afternoon, along with First Lady Michelle Obama.

They're expected to head to One World Trade Center in lower Manhattan around 5 p.m., where they will meet elected officials including Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

They will get a firsthand look at construction progress at the World Trade Center site and President Obama will sign a beam that will become part of the building's infrastructure.

They will then attend campaign events, including a fundraising dinner at the Plaza Hotel.

Actress Sarah Jessica Parker and Vogue editor Anna Wintour are co-hosting a fundraising dinner for the president's campaign at Parker's Lower Manhattan home.

As with most of the president's frequent New York City visits, it is expected to cause rush hour gridlock.

Expect road closures in Lower Manhattan while the president is at the World Trade Center.
If I was a New Yorker traveling at this time, I wouldn't vote for the guy simply for disrupting my day. Does Obama know, or care what he is doing?

#4  Its like hes trying to scare away botes and donors. Very weird.

#5  Last time he was here in "da ATL", he had traffic stopped at 4:30 pm for him to make it to Dobbins ARB and take off by 6:00 pm or so. Of course, his "meeting" was in south Atlanta, so he literally stopped I75/85 at 4:30 pm, the absolute WORST traffic times in one of the worst commute time areas in the nation. I literally sat on a side street downtown for 30 minutes just to get on the Interstate......

Of course, not that I was gonna vote for him anyway, but this act alone would swing my vote.....especially when I was returning from an out of town trip and I want to get home to the fam....

#2  Good for the special ops vet community.

#3  I'm guessing they would be especially effective going door to door.

"Sir, I'm here to persuade you to vote for Romney... and also to show you the 146 ways I can kill you with my thumb."

#4  There are places where that might be an effective message, Matt ..... LOL
