Don't Secede - Kick Upstate Out!

The New York State Court of Appeals has not disappointed me. In denying the right to same-sex marriage, it has shown itself to be the organ of a backwoods state that just happens to have Gotham pinned to its edge.

More important than the right to gay marriage (for the time being): throwing those hicks off our back. The State of New York is composed of New York City and its watershed. The rest is the State of Erie Canal, or somesuch.

Lose the creeps!

Yeah: my mother, who grew up in Albany, always said that the Midwest starts there. However, re your proposal, you downstaters will have to do something about the execrable Peter King.

I can see the headline now

Les séparatistes de New York City déclarent Montréal leur ville-soeur
Of course you don't have the advantage of a formal language difference. How far up the Hudson does your watershed go, past Nyack, West Point?
