Vile Self-Serving Creatures: An In-depth and Unbiased Comparative Analysis of the Republican Agenda


It is now commonplace to come face-to-face with a vile and loathesome subway rat brazenly scurrying alongside a platform terrorizing straphangers every so often. Today was no different. On our way into Manhattan to catch a movie, me and a friend were mezmorized by a very bold, melon-sized subway rat comfortably weaving amongst commuters striking fear and anxiety in the hearts of many faithful commuters and rendering them helpless.

But what was different today, on the eve of the Republican National Convention, was that this giant rat, to me, was clearly a metaphor for the audatious, and arrogant Bush supporters who were arriving into New York City to impose their right-wing agenda onto the free-thinking amnd pro-active New Yorkers who realize the very real threat of contamination that George W. Bush and his wealthy supporters embody.

Amidst the dense, hot and sticky city air, filled with rage, anti-RNC protestors lined the streets of Times Square this evening as agitated police officers canvassed the area, conveying the illusion of complete control.

"Facists, go home!" shouts some angry protestors at a few startled RNC attendees who attempted to inconspicuously venture out into the teeming Midtown streets, perhaps to do a bit of shopping or get a picture near ground zero--who knows.
Well just like the common subway rat we encountered earlier that evening, our visitors were spotted and shoo'd away.
My friend retorts, "Maybe now they'll get a sense of what it feels like to be told, 'Nigger, go home'."

We were both quite amused at the peaceful culture clash we witnessed then laughed our heads off. Well what did our visitors expect? A good ole Texas ho-down from the NY welcoming committee? I don't think so.

Much to their chagrin, these RNC tourists, with seemingly sheltered and priveledged lives, won't be getting the kind of reception they would anticipate if they were spending their American currency in a third world country.
That kind of ass-wiping is the exclusive duty of our Bush-lovin' mayor Mike Bloomberg.
