No way Joe, we heard you all got good benefits on the other side, healthcare, cheaper drugs, welfare, and jobs. So get used to seeing us Yankees sneak across the border.

Besides we'll do the work, you folks won't do.

Benign neglect sounds so

In reply to Benign neglect. Right?

Benign neglect sounds so Moynihan-ish. I prefer the coinage, Urban Fallow.

Benign neglect. Right?

In reply to New York dint create nuttin?

I know. It boggles the mind to think we've been bamboozled all these years by the despicable Liberal media (headquartered in NYC), into thinking that New York City was the center of the universe and the hub of all creativity, when in truth, it ain't done nutt'in.... absolutely nutt'in. Ask any Republican running for President. They'll tell ya. And to make matters woise, (that's worse for you mid-westerners who've never seen a 30's gangster movie), I say, what's woise, is that NYC is also the root of all evil. Who knew? Other than the aforementioned bagels, of course, (which are now in the process of being exported to some Southern stronghold of NYC-hating elitists), there are no redeeming features here whatsoever. Proof? MSNBC has studios here and the NY TIMES is headquartered here. And the Financial district and whatshisname, the guy that made the Bee Movie comes from here. Oh sure, you might try to finesse things and say, "Hey, what about the Statue of Liberty?", but it's not a native New Yorker, it came from FRANCE!! So, do as many double-takes and head-spinning "Whadyas" as it takes to clear your mind and see that Red Planet is right. New York City is not a bit noteworthy and contributes nothing to society. Letting it go fallow for a few decades may just be the right thing to do.

Red dirt in the yard. Red mud

Red dirt in the yard. Red mud on the shoes. Red dust in the mind. Red tide on the rise.

Our planet.

Its a zombie apocalyse, big hair Baptists, Dixiecrats, segregated schools and a god-blesséd priveleged elite. Once Heinlein, Asimov, Clark and Bradbury hinted at salvation, but no more.

Tell me a story full of longing and adventure. Roll that heavy gage and tell me the canals are real.

A crusty bagel right now would be welcome. Chewy center. Onion, please, with cream cheese and aged cheddar. My little dog would like a bite.

Quick man, while there's still time. Grab an Igloo and some dry ice, run down to H&H and fill it with bagels, then rush to the closest airport and put it on a fast jet to:
