DNC ? running log
<u>July 26, Monday, 9:20am:</u>
Today is the first morning of the DNC. The crazy, er, sorry, democrats were streaming in this past weekend. Last night there was a nationally televised Sox/Yanks game and the stuffed shirts were in attendance. This included Kerry who threw out the first pitch (like a girl) and ever-present Ben Affleck with his stupid white Boston hat with a green ?B?. I hate that hat. Anyway, today starts the mayhem. For those who do not live in this area, I plan on posting anything significant. So far, the local TV newscasts are reporting heavy traffic but nothing that was not expected. In case you have not heard, Boston is heavily restricting and finally shutting down the ONLY highway that runs through the city. In addition, they are shutting down Boston?s version of Penn Station and busing, yes, busing, in riders from a train station outside of the city. Basically, they are telling people not to drive in to the city and to take public transportation, but making public transportation a nightmare. But hey, we get to have the DNC so that the country can see the true Boston full of barbwire, fences, protesters and locals hiding at home in their basements working off of laptops and cell phones. It?s good for the local economy too when hourly workers are given the week off and local sandwich and pizza shops are scuttled because they do not serve grilled quail and foi gras and the convention is costing the taxpayers one cool mil an hour. Good times.
