How
to Ignore the Republican Convention
---------------------------------------
We
don’t know about you, but if you are anything like us, you need
some relief from the political fervor that has been taking hold of the
country, and especially New York city, with an ever firmer grip over the
past few months. The convention won't go away, so here are your
tips on how to get rid of it yourself...
1)
Go to Times Square. There’s no one there. Seriously, it’s
like the beginning of Vanilla Sky.

2) Buy US Weekly. No politics. We checked, only for the purposes
of accuracy in this list.
3)
Watch TV during primetime. Go to bed promptly at ten, or else put a movie
in.
4)
Steer clear of strip
clubs in Manhattan this week.
5)
Take the subway – there are no Republicans down there.
6)
Discover the other boroughs.
7)
Read Wonkette: she turns politics
into mush, so there’s nothing to fear.
8)
Avoid quoting old SNL skits for the next few days.
9)
If ever there was a time to watch baseball, this is it.
10)
Whenever someone mentions “the convention,” say, “What
kind of convention? There’s some kind of convention going on here
this week?"
