New York Magazine

A few weeks ago I posted a blog called "Have We Had Enough of 9/11 Yet?" where I wrote that the war over the World Trade Center site was essentially a group of Bridge And Tunnel People fighting to assert control of New York real estate. My girlfriend, Magpie The Fire-Breathing Estonian Sea Monster, warned me not to write this for fear of inciting a powerful pressure group.

Now, the current edition of New York Magazine has an article entitled "The Bullies of Ground Zero" in which they essentially repeat everything I wrote weeks ago. The way they put it is that it is a war between blue-collar people and liberal intellectuals.

Call it whatever you want, I was way ahead of the conventional media on this interpretation. Last summer, when the media was praising Judith Miller for her heroic action in behalf of press freedom, I got a letter printed in AM-NY stating that she belonged in Bellevue, which eventually became the consensus opinion.

Stick with my blog. I am way ahead of the group. If you want to be able to assert opinions which turn out to be right way before they become fashionable, I am the guy to see. I know there is a lot of nonsense and stupid poetry on this site, but even those make sense if you take the time to reflect on them.

Thank you to everybody who chooses to waste their time reading my nonsense. 200motels
