I'd like to call attention to some comments from New York Governor David Paterson that were in a recent Politico article about the 2 or 3 New York politicians actually sticking their necks out for 'Wall Street'.
"In New York, Wall Street is Main Street," Paterson told a receptive audience at the Museum of American Finance in December. “You don’t hear anybody in New England complaining about clam chowder. If you say anything about oil in Texas, they’ll string you up near the nearest tree. We need to stand behind the engine of our economy in New York and that engine of economy is Wall Street.”
A few points regarding this... First, its 'chow-dah', and its better than that red crap you serve in your state. Second, three-quarters of New England's economy is based on commercial machinery, instruments, chemicals, and transportation equipment. Third, New York City has five Main Streets. And lastly, David Paterson, you are an ill-informed asshole hoping to win re-election as governor of New York despite having the lowest-ever approval ratings for a governor of that state... sounds like you're looking for some handouts to finance your campaign.
Addendum:
For the record, no one in New England complains about clam chowdah because its fucking delicious.
