This is how “Spring” actually breaks down in NYC, weather-wise:
Days 1-20:
WTF? It’s still freezing. And it snowed. Again.
Days 21-40:
Yay, it’s a little warmer and the days are longer! But man, it’s raining a lot. And it’s STILL COLD.
Days 41-60:
OMG how can it rain this much? This is like being in Blade Runner.
Days 61-70:
WOW. It’s so beautiful. It’s perfect.
Days 71-90:
OMFG IT’S SO HOT I WANT TO DIE.
It struck me the other day that Mike Bloomberg is the last “real” Republican; i.e. in the sense that he runs a tight a fiscal ship, wants government to stay out of personal lives (libertarians would cite the smoking policies as a major exception), he sells out the poor, he fights the unions and he’s business friendly. Now, I’m not saying I’m a Bloombergy fan, but imagine if guys like him had control of the GOP for the last decade instead of the tag team of of the fundies and neocons.
Iranians, you are not alone. Uploaded these direct from the protest to Youtube…
