I mean watch the guy. The strike is not political???????????

party time 2010!. Riot 2010 organizers have yet to publish a similar map.

Metal thieves steal convention centre roof before installation. I love how dude is all like, 'its not going to slow us down' like it was 9/11 and he was Guiliani saying that the terrorists can't break our spirit.

Is it raining?
