    Yes. And he is 100% right, but it's still grandstanding. Not necessarily a criticism - he's a big city mayor. It's what they do.

    Just cruel, to anyone who loved, lived or worked downtown seven years ago. Many people who survived that day now suffer with PTSD and other phobias.
    Bloomberg was right -- badly conceived, insensitive, with taxpayer's money.

    Just Cruel.

    "The White House apologizes for this and for our next act. Friday, we'll be blasting Great White songs in and around the Warwick, RI area."

    Sorry, gingerbread, but I busted a gut at this one. And the current occupants of the White House are clueless enough to do it, too.

    The Media is right. Who is the White House to go about needlessly scaring the public. That's the media's job.

    Right, and a year ago you would have been railing about what a tasteless joke schezia made, and how unAmerican he is to criticize the President.

    I don't really think it was a tasteless joke, but if Old Tony is on my side chances are I made a mistake and I forgive anyone that was offended.

    The occupants of the White House a year ago aren't this tone deaf and messiah-complexed. You see, for humor to be funny, it has to have some truth in it. That's why this one was funny.

    Robert Moses rises from the grave to kill drifters every time someone comes up with an ill-considered, badly conceived way of wasting taxpayers' money in New York City. Dammit, that was his job!
