A McCain Outpost in Blue Park Slope
Hey, don’t assume that Park Slope will go blue on November 4th. Four brownstones on 11th Street are adorned with McCain signs (though residents had to travel to New Jersey to get them).

Hey, don’t assume that Park Slope will go blue on November 4th. Four brownstones on 11th Street are adorned with McCain signs (though residents had to travel to New Jersey to get them). Writes the NY Times, “The election district that includes 11th Street has 643 registered voters: 51 of them Republicans, 452 Democrats, 23 in other parties and 117 who did not list a party. That breakdown is echoed by the overwhelmingly Democratic makeup of Assembly District 52, as well as that of Brooklyn, which voted 79 percent for Senator John Kerry in 2004.” The McCain supporters are old school Slopers, writes the Times: residents from long before the Manhattan exodus who say the block was full of Roman Catholics and firemen when they arrived. But donkeys and elephants alike seem to be getting along: old and new, Obama and McCain-lovers. As one Democratic neighbor said about his neighbor’s signs, “To me, that says the person’s possibly open to some dialogue.

Its the 33% gain in typing productivity we’ve gotten since dropping “bag”.
Whether or not one is an asshole is usually up to the beholder.
Why aren’t we using the old style “douchebag” anymore instead of the abbreviated “douche” Yes, I know the two mean different things in reality but this is a blog about historic brownstones and I think we should try to retain more historic integrity to our name calling.
“Biff, you’re being outrageously inflammatory and provocative. You’re reflective of what’s wrong with politics and this blog I’ll choose to ignore you.”
moreteasir, you should have re-read your own quote before posting the last five or so. Hypocritical much?
CMU, werent you urguing tax increases for the rich in earlier posts this year? So you want other people to give up their cash for the greater good but you won’t give it up yourself?
ENY…you’re a real douce…he won’t automatically get shunted into a third term..he has to “pursue it” as the article said. That means there’ll be an election and he will have to win by a majority of votes by the citizens of NYC.
I never calimed not to be ditto…at least I’m not an asshole about it.
I think people who carry a thread from one that was about political parties to one that analyzes the meaning of the wprd “douche” are um, douches.
moreteasir…you get pretty offensive here yourself from time to time. But, more importantly, since your profile says your male, what do you use your douche for?? Never mind, I know all about it bottom boy.
I think people who try to guilt other people into having their vrews are douches. I now call Biff Champion…..uh…
