In our national community, government was standing by to offer its helping hand if needed --- a hand conservatives are trying to sever, when they're notbusy ceremoniously shaking it.
Rather, they'll be put right back to work in the hopes that they "take a bite out of movie piracy in the Big Apple, " according to the Motion Picture Association's Edward Neurbronner -- that is, when they're notbusy putting on little, um, dog-and-pony shows at local events.
We know that if it ever happens again we can do something about it to help ourselves rather than wait for someone who may not turn up because they're too busy elsewhere.
