If there wasn't a market for Stern on the "Red Zone", I suspect his show would only play in NYC. Considering how many stations carry Stern, it appears that at least some folks outside NYC are tuning in.
The acorn doesn't fall far from the old oak tree, does it?
Barry Goldwater was right - cut it off and let it drift out to sea. With any luck that phoney Republican Rino Rudy Guliani will float away with it. OH WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!, "New York's this and New York's that....get over it. Rudy ROCKS!
Must be pretty hard because Tom Hanks got an Oscar for it in "Forrest Gump". ;^)
It is true: the NY-bashing by FReepers is really ugly. I moved here from Minnesota over two years ago, and living in NYC beats just about anyplace. The people are tremendous.
NYC may be overly liberal, but it reflects the rest of country more often than people might care to admit. Stern is probably listened to more outside of NY than inside.
Jealousy (Jeal"ous*y) (?), n.; pl. Jealousies (#). [ F. jalousie. See Jealous, and cf. Jalousie.]
The quality of being jealous; earnest concern or solicitude; painful apprehension of rivalship in cases nearly affecting one's happiness; "Jealousy is the . . . apprehension of superiority." Shenstone. "Whoever had qualities to alarm our jealousy, had excellence to deserve our fondness." Rambler.
The Museums are great.
The crowds are terrible, the people are rude and pushy and always in a rush, the streets are filthy, there are dangerous looking cretins everywhere. I always felt like a needed a bath when I came in off the street there - the wind is always blowing around some indescribable fragmnets of filth that land on your face and in your hair. The buildings are ( or were) covered with graffitti as were the subways. Don't ever look at anybody in an elevator - they get real nervous. Probably think you're a masher or throat slasher or something. Don't ever fall down sick on the street - the crowds will just step over you. The toilettes look like they were used by Attila the Hun and his gang.
New York looks best at night, from a distance - a long distance. The longer the better.
I'd gladly give New York back every nickel and dime it sends to Washngton, in return for the departure of that den of leftist philosophy from our midst.
Furthermore, my guess is New York takes back FAR more in federal and New York State aid than it ever contributes.
What's so great about New York anyway? The U.N.? Morningside Park? Slime Square (yeah, I know - Guliani cleaned it up - but any fascist could do that, even Hitler or Mussolini, but I'm sure that with time, it will revert to its former sleezy persona.) The people? A good percentage of them are illegal aliens, and most of them are left-wing Demoncrats.
Do yourself a favor - get yourself and your family out of the big apple, move out to a rural state and learn how pleasant life and other people can really be.
I wouldn't be surprised if one day a couple of Angels came along to visit the big apple - you know, like in Sodom and Gomorrah from Genesis. I'm glad as hell I don't work there anymore and have no desire to ever go back - fascist Guliani or not.
Couldn't hack it here, eh?
Have you ever been to NY?
The city is the most exciting, vibrant, complex, and interesting place on earth.
Upstate is still mostly wilderness with great hunting and fishing.
You need to get out more often boy.
Did you live here long enough to notice that big-city manners are a bit different from those in rural areas, and you don't make eye contact with all the hundreds of thousands of people that you see every day?
Also, we rush around because we usually have a lot of important things to do on a very demanding schedule. We don't have time to sit around and pick the hayseeds off our flannel shirts.
HEY JACKASS!!!
"move out to a rural state "??
can you really, honestly, be any more stupid? I think not, or you'd know that outside of NYC, NY is a pretty rural state, filled with mostly conservatives.
Kind of like California, but I wouldn't expect you to know that, either.
