And even with the cancellation, Bloomberg is still saying that holding the marathon wouldn't divert resources from the clean-up. Towns in New Jersey are refusing work crews from the south because the crews are not union. Once a little time has passed, and the national media has found something else to myopically focus on, they'll forget all about the troubles they've had. Kinda like the initial gun-ban-reation to Aurora & Wisconsin eventually went away.

But don't get me wrong. I would love for the people of the east cost to wake up & realize that their self-imposed nanny states have been reversing evolution. But I'm a realist at heart.

And some amoeba brains in Connecticut are throwing eggs and other items at the line crews trying to restore power. Talk about the missing links.

And each event has probably boosted gun sales and convinced people who never owned a gun to buy their first. I've read several articles about the results of Sandy quoting people saying they're going to get a gun for "next time."
