Election Day NY Style

New Yorkers were trying to make a very clear point today. We are sick of what's been going on, sick of politicians using The World Trade Center as a means to getting their way and tired of how misrepresented we have all been. But in typical manner, we at least had a sense of humor about it. A few moments from today:

- Astor Place, 2 PM.
A man with a megaphone (who happened to be a retired veteran who was evicted), asking people to vote because "rent is too damn high". Also publicizing his personal party and website: http://rentistoodamnhigh.org/.
Which is.. well... interesting. EVERY page plays the "rent is too damn high" song which is distributed by Hamster Records (seriously..) and takes forever to load since nothing was optimized. He is also looking for sponsors to pay for the "rent is too damn high" merchandise.
As crazy as the whole thing is.. gee, rent IS too damn high in NYC.

- Brooklyn Heights, 4 PM

A dog is sitting on a chair in front of the subway, and a small crowd is gathering to read the sign below:



One has to love NY....(yes, you guessed it. I am in a good mood because the Democrats seem to be taking most of the seats... Yeepee)
