I'll skip the breakfast like I always do:
Muslims skip NYC mayor's event to protest spying
Muslims upset by NYPD to boycott mayor's breakfast
Besides, they are rewritten, reedited pieces of s***, and I'm really tired of the censorship crap or whatever f***ing game the piece of s*** paper is playing these days.

I'd be upset, too, and I'm not even Muslim.
I won't be skipping the basketball today, tough:
"Bearing no grudges, NBA fans flock back" December 30, 2011|Shira Springer, Globe Staff
Less than a week into the lockout-shortened NBA season, arenas are sold out, television ratings are up, and last Sunday’s game between the Celtics and New York Knicks was the most watched Christmas Day game in cable history, with 5.9 million viewers tuning into TNT.
Through Wednesday night, 26 of 32 NBA games have taken place in arenas filled to capacity. And last week, merchandise sales at NBAStore.com were up 28 percent compared with last year....
Fans increasingly view labor strife as part of the sports landscape.
NBA coach-turned ESPN broadcaster Jeff Van Gundy worked two Christmas Day games from his usual courtside perch. He described the atmosphere at both as “very positive.’’ Still, he cautions that leagues and teams should handle fan relations with care.
“Fans, for the most part, are very forgiving,’’ said Van Gundy. “I do feel, at one point, some league is going to go too far and it’s going to have a lasting negative impact on their fan base. It could be anything. It could be a labor dispute that lasts too long. It could be prices that continue to exponentially grow and even push the wealthiest fans over the tipping point.
Then I must not be a "fan" of the Boston Globe.
“I don’t think we’re there yet. But even though sports have a very loyal fan base and customer base, you have to treat them with respect, too, because they are customers.’’
Then what's with the subtle elitist insults and agenda-pushing lies, Globe?
Actually, that would explain the declining circulation and imploding business model of the newspaper industry, wouldn't it?
No respect, no respect at all.
--more--"
Actually, I have my own games to play this morning, dear readers -- a much healthier and productive endeavor than reading the Boston Globe.
