A Plague of Ingrates
6th January 2015
Matt Forney turns over a rock.
With the war between New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and the NYPD escalating to DEFCON 2, you’d think the people who need the police the most would stop biting the hand that protects them. But no one ever went broke overestimating the ungratefulness of the corn-fed hipsters who dominate the Big Apple’s media megaphone. Case in point: Gawker’s Andy Cush decries the force as “pathetic crybabies” and “an embarrassment to the city of New York.”
After trying to mentally calculate how much cheese Cush would need for his whine, I decided to do a little research into the guy. To the surprise of no one, he lives in Brooklyn and is not a New York native. According to his Facebook profile, Cush hails from the Baltimore suburb of Severna Park, confirming my belief that any town that has “park” in the name is a worthless cultural void.
