“I grew up in a great mixed neighborhood too, ENY. I think I’m the better for it.”
Yep, I always considered that a god thing about NYC in general – I grew up meeting all kinds of people from everywhere. Sometimes it helps you see life from the eyes of others (if you’re paying attention, that is).
‘Neocon’ hasn’t been used widely until recently, but the term has been around at least since the 1970s. The current use of the term isn’t always reflective of its historical meaning.
I could be wrong here, but I’ll hazard a guess as to why the American and European uses of the term ‘liberal’ are different. America was founded in the Enlightenment tradition, we don’t have a nobility(at least not officially), and thus nearly all mainstream thinkers here would qualify as liberal in the historical European sense, so ‘liberal’ and ‘conservative’ mean something different to us. But maybe I’m completely off base, which would be traditional.

There was a bar called Hooligans on the Upper Upper East side when I lived there.

Hepa filter is key, along with the smoking lounge! HA!
I wouldn’t worry too much, sad to say they may not notice.
What do you say Snappy? CHN, nice. bxgrl and MM always say they need more stuff there.
I tapped DIBS, he ignored me, but that’s not unusual!
Let’s see, let’s try etson or chicken, I think those guys have some Do-Re-Me!
C’mon guys step right up! Snappy and I have a plan here!
Heathens & Holligans! How can we lose?!
if the venture is in Crown Heights North, maybe…..
Dammit! I just made a mistake! I sent a resume to a place that I already applied to before and was ignored. Do you think that’s bad?
