Gratitude for input

[thebitterguy]

Thanks to everyone who replied to the earlier query about Yanks & NYC.

It was spawned by this article in the Toronto Star (yes, you have to register. Deal.) that indicated that there's a resentment towards the heart o' the nation from the further capillaries.

I guess you're lucky, down in the Holy Republic, that you have a number of cities (as rdansky pointed out) of significance down there. All we've got is TO, and maybe Vancouver.

Otherwise, you've got Montreal and Montreal wannabe Quebec City acting like two cities under siege from each other as they desperately vie to produce the next winner of Star Acadamie. Then there's Calgary and Edmonton glaring at each other across the prairies, this year even lacking a hockey season to release the homo-erotic tension.

And Ottawa, the bureaucrat of the nation, pince-nez and bow tie, fingers stained with red ink while university students surge across the bridges to hull every weekend night, returning with a trail of vomit dripping from their shoes.

And poor, sweet, slowly dying Kingston, wasting away like some gangrenous limb. Without Queens, really, what would that sweet, sad city have?
