I'm having a hard time getting existential over the mosque thing. I don't think it should be there, it's an act of cultural agression, etc. But all of the talk about how it portends about our nation's decline is ridiculous. New York City politicians made a stupid decision. Of course virtually everything that New York City politici, ans do is stupid. They're the gold standard of policy dumb. At most it portends NYC's decline but here's a newsflash: that's been going on for at least 60 years. In terms of pure wealth destruction the Gotham's gomers have blown up dozens of World Trade Centers with predictable results. And nary a one can recite the Koran in the original Arabic (although Bloomie's probably working the Arabic Rosetta as we speak, the son of a demented camel).
Don't get mad, make fun of NYC. They hate that.
