BATTLE OVER PRO-BUSH SIGN AT BOSTON PIZZERIA

The 24-foot-long sign at Halftime Pizza across the street from Boston's FleetCenter isn't exactly welcoming to the Democratic National Convention: "Say!!!!! D.N.C. Thanks for Nothing!!! Go Bush."

Security measures and the availability of free food for delegates led Mark Pasquale, owner of Halftime, to shut his restaurant down for the week of the convention and erect the sign.

I find this refreshing as a resident of Mass. It's good to know that someone in Boston hates kerry (spit) as much as the bulk of us! The city would'nt have the balls to fine him now that the story is out there, however, they do have a long memory.
