I know there are a million reasons to love New York, viz.:
1. Street hot dogs
2. The way five different people will answer a tourist’s transit question on the subway with five different ways of getting there and twelve different restaurants to try when you get there [note: I am one of these five people always, what is it about me that makes tourists ask me questions? I don't MIND, I mean, but I'm just wondering.]
3. the pizza
4. The gays
and
5. my local supermarket stocks every available part of the chicken plus also brown iguana soup
… but I may just have heard reason million-and-one. Our newly-minted governor was obviously having a difficult time getting his demands across to someone, so he told them, “I am a fucking steamroller and I’ll roll over you and anybody else.”
I am a fucking steamroller! Our governor described himself as a STEAMROLLER! A fucking one! It’s just so many shades of awesome, it might actually beat that time that Tom Cruise was praising J.J. Abrams and exclaimed, “two J’s!” as if it was any sort of indication of his awesomeness that he had two of the same letter as a first name.
This is way better than that.
I mean, could that get any more awesome? It really, really could not. How proud am I that I voted for that guy? SO PROUD.
“Asked at a news conference if the comments were inappropriately boastful, Spitzer replied tersely, “No. Next question.”"
I might really love him. Like, LOVE love him.
I know. He’s just so DREAMY.
Wow, a steamroller. All we’ve got is a lady with newscaster hair. And that is nothing compared to a steamroller. New York does indeed rule. Go Spitzer.
That is fucking awesome.
That is fucking awesome!
The Texas Govnuh blurted out, “Adios, Mofo!” to a reporter, not knowing his mic was on. That was my favorite saying for a long time. What a fucking dumbass.
The only thing hotter about Spitzer is that he passed ethics legislation his first day in office. Well, for me anyway. Though I hear he’s pretty hot in a negligee.
I’m up for a restaurant rec or 2 or 3. Am heading up next weekend, and although we go a lot, always like to hear of something new. We eat everything. Will be just me and my hubby. We’ll be on UES but will go anywhere in Manhattan. (Would go further but too cold for us southerners!!)
This makes me miss New York. You know who’s a fucking steamroller in Canada? NOBODY, THAT’S WHO.
re tourists
you must have a kind face or something. I get the same thing in shops.
re Spitzer
He is the best. Did you hear how he sued the NY State Thruway for a toll they put up in Buffalo? That was a while back but he got them to get rid of a stupid toll booth that was placed between the suburbs and the downtown. I mean, how cool is that?
