I've always wondered how exactly to describe the temperament, the broadmindedness, the analytical subtlety, the Id that through the decades have shaped the Wall Street Journal's editorial page. Conveniently, the Journal has filled that need, via this video interview with one of its editorial board members. Henceforth when you read the Journal's editorials, I invite you to hear this voice, expression, and tone.

Wall Street Journal Slams 'Totalitarians' Behind 'Dreadful' Bike-Share Program That Has 'Begrimed' NY City | ThinkProgress

For the Wall Street Journal, though, it is a program designed by “totalitarians,” which has “absolutely begrimed” New York’s “best neighborhoods,” all “so that New Yorkers can feel that they are in Paris and London.” Yes, Mayor Bloomberg is a Euro-socialist dictator! And bikes are so much uglier and dirtier than taxis and parking spots.

It's funny- all these Park Slope and Upper West yuppies were praising the idea to the high heavens for its fashionable eco-sensibility until they realized it meant actually having bikers and physical changes in their own neighborhoods and not just where the poor people live- now it's all "they're ruining the neighborhoods" and "I can't find parking anymore."

The WSJ is just a print version of Foxnews ever since Murdoch bought it.
Everybody predicted it anyway.

they're mad about bicycles?

these people are out of their minds


utter hyperbole


I've never seen anyone riding a bicycle on the sidewalk anywhere in New York.
Along with a list of other nonsensical claims.

There is an issue of people not riding with traffic, that's the only that comes to mind but that's been an issue before the citi bikes.
I do wish they would crack down on the deliverymen on motorized scooters in Brooklyn, that I would support.

One of the weirdest posters here. He hates Indian people, hates atheists, dikkrides Mowgli, is obsessed with me, and seems to have the maturity of about a 13 year old. That's the entirety of his persona here. Dude posted like 3 messages on my profile I deleted without reading. fukking weirdo.

Some cats just love to hate man. Dude is on my wall right now complaining about Mowgli getting banned from that thread for trolling about an 8 year old getting raped. But they keep things interesting I suppose.
