In the failed attempt to be the message boards "kooky" guy who challenges every view, Mike has managed to out himself as a man who hates the country he lives in. The transition was quick. Pray for his children.

It's obvious he prides himself on being the clever contrarian. Unfortunately he increasingly chooses indefensible ground on which to plant his flag. But as I stated before, he is keenly aware there is no concrete way to disprove his argument, as implausible as it is.

I'm not sure, but I think Bill de Blasio has a better understanding of their feelings than either of us. When politicians do something unpopular, sometimes that's brave. Or it's just stupid. Canceling this show is either something he really believes in for some reason, and he's willing to risk his reputation over, or it's something that New Yorkers don't think is a big deal. maybe they'll get some letters and phone calls from people that they know our residents, telling them that they made a mistake. Maybe they'll reverse the decision if that happens.

Either way, the opinion of two dudes in Florida just does not matter. If they wanted to cancel the federal memorial, then I would have a pretty strong opinion... Personally I think 9/11 should be a national holiday.

He's doing it for strictly political purposes. It really is that simple. Regardless, it's irrelevant now because it will happen.
