Okay, let me get this straight.

The Empire State Building was bathed in red and yellow light last night…to mark the 60th anniversary of Communist rule in China. What? China? 

I find it a bit odd that one of the great, iconic structures in the United States of America is paying homage to sometimes ruthless regime with a terrible history of human rights abuses.

I know some one probably paid some one else a whole lot of money to make this happen. And, I know we’re in a new era of cooperation with China.

Blah blah blah.

In the words of that noted social philosopher, Mike Ditka…“Who ya crappin’?”

I don’t recall seeing the ESB illuminated to mark the anniversary of many other countries…from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. Why China? Communist China? What’s next? Cuba?

I’m with the protesters who stood outside the Empire State Building last night. This was a bad idea.
