Paris -- Hilton and France
I'm missing the birthday party of Ames, Miss style.com, and Robyn tonight. And I feel bad about that. But I'm sorta doing homework and mostly watching American Idol and The Simple Life II, where my friend Paris Hilton is on Staten Island charging guys $5 to get punched, or $10 to get kicked in the 'nads. I just wish I could make it to Staten Island to participate.
But it's a bit trickier getting to Staten Island because the "C" line of the New York Subway is down. Yesterday a vagrant lit a fire in the subway and caused a short circuit. How long is the subway going to be down? Five years. That's right--only in New York would it take 5 years to repair a subway line. I wish that it would only be in New York that vagrants would be allowed to wander freely despite the millions of my tax dollars that go to services to the homeless, but Chicago coddled bums the same way. The Wall St. Journal even rings in:
Only in Manhattan could a burned-out switching system take years to repair. Most cities pretending to be world class would have long ago replaced 1930s-era wiring, and that certainly would have been true of New York when Robert Moses ruled. But for decades New York has been quite literally mortgaging its future by taking on debt and putting off infrastructure upgrades in order to keep feeding its out-of-control public sector unions....
Californians were descending into a similar mire a couple of years ago with a dysfunctional political class in Sacramento, but they were fortunate to have the initiative process that allowed them to elect an outsider like Arnold Schwarzenegger. New Yorkers are stuck waiting for the C Train.
I was impressed with my ability in July when I single-handedly took down a small part of the electric grid in Paris (France). When it comes to repairs, not even Parisiennes are as slow as New Yorkers.
