Elsewhere in NYC…in the Bronx, at the home of the Bronx Infidels (that’s the NY Yankees) played host to my hometown heroes (the Cleveland Indians)

Tonight was a glorious evening, as the Infidels went down in flames losing to the Indians 22-0.

Yes, you read it right, Indians: 22; Infidels: 0

What a glorious evening!

Random thought: How many or what percentage of the protesters, do you think are actually from the NYC area? How many do you think just trekked in from out of town to protest?

The Governator says that I’m a Republican….so I guess I must admit it…that’s what I am!

Cause hell, I don’t want to be an “economic girlyman” either!

Just got a message on my cell phone from my sister, who attends school in NYC, saying she was en route to a party being thrown for the RNC delegates, at which, according to her “famous people including some of your facist republican friends and figures” are going to be attending.

Not fair–not fair at all! I’m the Republican in the family, and I don’t get this privledge! (Then again, I was invited to two events, but I didn’t want to schlepp into the city for them–but still)

Yeeehaaaa! I walked into my local target today to pick up an item and what do I see–a sign indicating that NY State is holding a Sales Tax Free Week

Hoooooray!

Granted, it’s only on clothing (items costing less than $110), but it still beats having to pay an extra 8.75% sales tax.

No tax = more money in my pocket. And it couldn’t come at a better time for me (I need some new shorts that fit)

So Michael Moore is writing a column for four days this week about the RNC for USA Today.

(USA Today had originally had Ann Coulter writing for the DNC, but she quit after editors wanted to edit her column too much, so Jonah Goldberg took over)

Moore’s first column has been throughly fisked by The Smarter Cop.

It looks like Moore can’t handle the heat either and won’t be returning to the convention

Such a shame, no?

Okay, time to play Monday Tuesday Morning QB on Rudy’s kick-ass awesome speech last night at the RNC (which I’m very glad I watched).

Rudy made mention of the 1972 Munich Olympic massacre of the Israeli Olympic Team and the feckless response of the Germans in releasing the three arrested terrorists.

There’s two things Rudy seemed to overlook when mentioning this event which could have fit into his speech.

1) One of the members of the Israeli team was a dual US-Israeli citizen, weightlifter David Berger of Shaker Heights, Ohio.

2) After the attack, Israel took matters into her own hands, and (then) PM Golda Meir authorized the Mossad to go out, hunt down and liquidate those responsible for the attrocity. A task which the Mossad was very successful with.

I think that if Rudy could have tied in Berger’s citizenship, he could have possibly scored more “impact points”.

Similarly, if Rudy were to have mentioned how Israel went back on the offensive against the terrorists, and making an analogy to the US now, he could’ve hit (yet another) home run.

It’s not like Rudy’s speech really needed more home-runs in that speech of his.

Aside: For those not familiar with the Munich ’72 story, I highly suggest viewing the documentary “One Day in September” (I’ve not read the book of the same title, so I can’t comment on it)
