The worst part is that even in Michigan I have a subscription to the NY Times. I like to feel superior to the unwashed collegiate masses as I try to do the crossword puzzle. Also, Whole Foods bags are out. it’s all about those burlap sacks that they’re calling “Reuse” bags. Menopausal women love them more than their children.

His daughter looks scandalous.

They will do this by increasing the size of government, increasing the operations tempo by the military, increasing the amount spent to corporate america, they will increase the amount of war-dead in Iraq and find new locations to expand US empire. An exponential increase in the amount of hatred for the United States around the world will balloon the amount of terrorist activities, then requiring additional spending. This will then continue to increase the amount of inflation of the dollar, increase the size of the lower class, decrease the size of the middle class, increase the amount of constitutional infractions, demand a reduction of liberties by the people and eventualy cause an economic depression of the likes never before seen.

Chaos will be the average day for the average citizen. Obtaining fresh water and food will be an issue, a quasi-civil war between states will erupt, many will detach from the union to form smaller republics. Like the former USSR, the United States will be forever lost.

But hold on…

Out of the ashes will come a stronger nation, one that will have learned from the death toll and grief brought on by McCain, Obama, and Billary. We can all look forward to the day that the reformation of the Great United States happens again. Thanks John, Barack, Billary and thanks to you, fellow Americans, who had the foresight to elect one of the prized globalist candidates to usher in the Republic of New America.

Thanks goodness the populace doesn’t know about how McCain hid his vietnam pow records.

Why, if voters knew these things, the GOP may have to back the only conservative running for office and we can’t have that nonsense going on.

ROCK!

New York City is doing fine right now, and all indicators point to a positive economic future. Artists have been priced out and moving away for twenty years — perhaps even thirty years — and NYC continues to thrive. How can you claim that “New York will be in serious trouble in a few years”?

What artists prefer are areas that are affordable to them. My guess is that the incentives the Jersey City is offering don’t go far enough, if the city planners are really serious about establishing the arts, they have to dig deep and be in for the long haul (20 – 30 years).

You should check out The Warhol Economy, a book that explains a little of the history of how art, fashion, and music reshaped the economy of NYC. Initially it looked to benefit only a small group of people, but now you can see that with the way that NYC’s economy has gone, artists are being priced out of the city, and New York will be in serious trouble in a few years.

What has to be kept in mind is that it’s well documented history that art districts provide a huge boon to cities tax coffers. The reason that artists are given the opportunity to move into economically depressed areas is because of that history. Artists clean areas up, beautify them, and raise property values – a process called gentrification. Other regional factors (like the new train in Jersey City) contribute, but the power of art districts is undeniable.
