Change of plans
Now that the City Council has put limits on disruptive behavior at meetings, two things become apparent: the public will be curtailed in what it can say in its generous one-minute window, and my jug band will have to perform our protest songs outside.
Daily News reporter Kerry Cavanaugh writes, "Under the new rules, the council can cut off speakers who disrupt the meeting with comments that are personal, impertinent, unduly repetitive, slanderous or profane." This is quite a blow to my band, since our first single is called "Unduly repetitive, slanderous and profane." Now if only we could get the councilmembers to limit themselves to two terms! Zing! You can bet they're feeling that one downtown!
The city is cracking down on illegal cabs. Lucky for me I don't think rickshaws fall under the current plan, so I'm in the clear for now.
Finally, the X Games are coming. DailyNews.com has set up a special section at www.dailynews.com/xgames so that you can keep track of who breaks what during each of the events. This is a seperate competition from the Ex Games, which just leave everyone with a broken heart and some bittersweet memories.
