Way O/T Yew York Marathon

37chief · Nov 3, 2012

I heard a lot of people turned up to run the N Y marathon race. Now since it is cancelled the news reporter said there are a lot of people in NY with nothing to do. I have a idea. Gather the skinny fanny runners up and have them help clean up the city. I have no problem with skinny peoople.I am just can't stand winers. Stan

Being from Upstate, NY and knowing what % of the State taxes I pay head directly Down State, I hate to see anyone suffer, but I cannot say I woulda been too upset if the new East Coast line ran right about where Monticello is! LOL Mighta made me feel like my Romney Vote counted if that happened too!

I think that fact that Mayor Bloomberg was pushing to have the race in spite of the recovery efforts shows just how out of touch with reality this billionaire is.

As one runner put it, it gave her an uneasy feeling that they were warming up a tent so the runners could have a pasta meal prior to the race yet they were other victims who hadn't eaten in 3 days.

Shutting down a bridge into the city just for runners meant delay of gas, food and rescue supplies, not to mention the 12,000 volunteers needed to organize and monitor the race.

I don't think to this day Bloomberg sees that he did nothing wrong. Remember this is the guy who makes sure citizens of the city cannot own handguns.

New York is a beautiful state, but I still like Texas for its independence and freedom!!

My prayers still go out to the many victims up there.
