The LMDC which is overseeing Lower Manhattan reconstruction gave a $10 million grant to the Drawing Center so that it can relocate from its current location to the now empty Fulton Fish Market. That’s $10 million that could have gone to businesses in Chinatown that are still affected by street closures and security measures enacted after 9/11. Instead, the folks at the politically connected Drawing Center got the money. And the NYT shills for them at every opportunity.

The “Lying for Saddam” Exhibit featuring CNN and anybody else who will admit it.

The “Slandering our Troops Abroad” Exhibit featuring Eason Jordan, among others.

And my personal favorites,
The “Ridiculous Defense of Made-Up News” Exhibit prominently featuring Steve Lovelady from the CJR, among others.

The “Bloggers Scooping the News” Exhibit featuring Allah, Bill from INDC and LGF, among others.

You know, in the spirit of the 1st Amendment.

And tommy, I don’t think the “farmers” are as interested in telling you what to do as they are ticked off at the constant preaching and moralizing directed at them by NYC elitists. Middle America does not think of you nearly as much as you (New Yorkers) think of them. Or of yourselves.

I sometime wonder why the left insists on wrong being right?

- Yes. Damn those bleeding heart mourners. How dare they stand in the way of the Lefts right to scream Marxist slogans in a room full of free Americans.

- Bleh. Everywhere you look the Dems march on in their campaign of self implosion.

- Bang

1) It was an attack on America not just an attack on NYC.
2) What does Iraq have to do with 9/11 memorial? Pearl Harbor isn’t used as a WW2 memorial and the WTC memorial shouldn’t be a recount of the entire WOT either.
3) I dispute your last sentences position. Having a dictator who killed hundreds of thousans and wanted to kill Americans DISPOSED OF and then giving Iraqi people a chance at democracy where the people are more likely to want and vote themselves a better life not war is a better future that some Iraqi neighbor insurgents can’t stand to see. More than 42% of so-called insurgents are not Iraqi’s. Did you know that?

I find it amusing that you would consider this national memorial the property of “city residents.”

Second, I am getting tired listening how people got gypped on compensation. Many, if not the majority, got much more than fair. Our fallen from WW2, Korea, Vietnam, never got anywhere near as much.

Greedy Liberals in NYC are overplaying their hands and had better wise up before the “farmers” cut off all the funds the the ungrateful whelps in NYC.

“some memorial”?? Your characterization via implication that it’s just another run of the mill memorial truly stuns me, Tommy. Not only that, but if you really had concerns about a ‘respectful’ memorial, then you’d be joining the hated right in opposing a museum on the memorial site that essentially blamed the US for all the ills in the world. Maybe the fact that you think it’s just “some memorial” is an indication that you really don’t give a fig what’s going to be put there. Maybe you don’t care, but others do.

BTW, the intro of Iraq by you in this is nothing but a red herring. Nice try.

‘Course there are a few places in the East River, where the sludge isn’t as thick, which might make a suitable home for the Drawing Center.

As well as the NYT.
