New York Region > Just Keep It Peaceful, Protesters; New York Is Offering Discounts” href=”http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/18/nyregion/18buttons.html?ex=1250481600&en=fab5ec7c870bb73a&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland”>Bloomberg offers coupons to peaceful protesters. What the hell is he thinking? I have visions of, “Let them eat cake have free coupons!” I am pretty sure that the crowds who are coming to NYC to protest have no desire to go to Olive Garden or fucking Applebees. How insulting! On one side you have a large group proclaiming the need for change, and on the other freaking coupons! COUPONS! On the other hand, the Whitney does have a good show going on now.
