My RNC Sneak Preview

I just got to Minnesota and don't really know what to expect. Luckily, I had a crash course in GOP mingling at the DNC, of all places. While walking the mean streets of Denver, I spotted out of the corner of my eye, my former mayor, Rudolph Giuliani. He was the red elephant in the blue room, or on the blue street or in the blue donkey stable.

As a native New Yorker, I had spent much of my youth protesting Giuliani's draconian policies-- his persecution of the homeless, limitations on Freedom of Speech, and, worst of all, his Footloose-esque anti dancing initiatives.

So you can imagine what I -- an outspoken, no-nonsense, activist New Yorker -- said when I saw the man who had tried to tame my beloved and unbridled city! I looked him straight in the face and said: "I'm a Native New Yorker. Can I have a photo?"

Guess I really wanted the photo.
