1001 Things to Hate About the Convention

New York Press has a fairly exhaustive list of things to hate about the convention , which is invading their city.

Some of my favorites:

988. Because NJ Transit is sealing all the trash containers on their NY-bound trains, it’s Bring Your Garbage to Work Week.

980. TV audiences deprived of sole entertainment angle on convention: Viewers will not get to see the phonetic spellings in the teleprompter text of George Bush’s speech.

864. John Ashcroft not scheduled to sing "Let the Eagle Soar."

822. Delegates think our streets are normally this clean.

821. Delegates think our subways are normally this clean.

820. Delegates think our homeless are normally this missing.

404. Rash of babies named "Che" born nine months from now.

350. Angry protester who thinks Kerry’s first order of business will be to free Tibet and Mumia
