RNC Not Welcome -- Posters and labels and whatnot for New Yorkers and protestors to show off during the Republican National Convention.

My personal favorite -- "Dear George Bush, if Crawford, Texas, gets attacked, I promise not to go there and throw a party."

Heh. Amusingly enough, I had the following conversation yesterday:

(to a guest making a reservation at the Rihga Royal NYC)

Me: "Are you with any groups or conventions?"
Guy: "I'm with the Republican National Convention."
Me: "...Okay, the best rate I have available for you is a one bedroom suite at the rate $400/night." (while checking off "near elevator" and unchecking his preference for a quiet room)

(to a guest making a reservation at the NYC Marriott Marquis, same dates)
Me: "Are you with any groups or conventions?"
Guy: "I'm a democrat. Does that get me a discount."
Me: "Don't I just wish."

Metaquoted!

And coming from a fellow NYC-resident and former hotel reservations clerk I fully empathize. Are you going to the march/rally on Sunday?
