I see that the President is going to be fundraising in Manhattan again today. I didn't vote for the guy, but I would never consider harming any President of the United States or advocating in any way that others harm him. I would never want to see anything like that happen. But that isn't to say that I don't have an anti-government sentiment as broad as my perverse sense of humor.
I know the area around the Plaza Hotel really well - I worked a block from there for years. And given the SEVERE anti-gun bias of the local government, and the hyper-partisan views of this President, I wonder what would happen if I were to take one of my soft gun cases - say the one that says "Browning" on it - fill it full of curtain rods, and go hang around outside the hotel for a while this afternoon?
There are no laws that I know of against gun cases or curtain rods in NYC. I would make no threatening gestures toward any authority figure and be in complete compliance with all instructions from security. But I have to believe that it would get under someone's skin - particularly the oblique statement made by the curtain rods.
Given my feelings about the Mayor I have to admit, that sounds like fun. Tragically I have too much to do today.

If Bloomy is so anti-gun, why does Beretta still have a big retail store in Manhattsn? Nice clothes there too!
The one thing I don't miss about my NYC commute: the traffic snarl-ups caused by Presidential visits and the UN assemblies...
Yeah but have you ever tried to buy a gun there? I know for NY residents they suggest that the gun be shipped to the Hamptons of Westchester or wherever - outside the city. They can't possibly make any money on the place. (also... it's been a few years since I was there but don't they have a Rhino head on the wall? they must be throwing kickbacks to every pol in the city.)
A friend of mine bought a 20 ga silver pigeon there. I forget what process he went through, but he was able to walk out of the store with it after work and slog down to the ferry with Beretta box in full regalia.
On your way there why not walk past any OWS people and see if they dont get really quiet or wether they start chirping at you like Blue Jays in the woods.GUN! GUN!. And have someone you can use for your 1 phone call
The Big Zero is having the PATH train to WTC shutdown in the middle of the homeward bound rush. There are going to be an extra 100k commuters using the already packed midtown PATH line. It is going to be an absolute nightmare this evening.
I am staying late hopefully to avoid it.
I have the picture in my mind of the parade approaching as Hoover pushs the little girl off the mailbox in Animal House ...
