It's what the people need right now. What people? When I look around I don't see too much suffering - yet. If this is suffering I wonder how these people would have handled the actual Great Depression.

I went to this parade one year, with my ex who dressed as a girl with a black eye who was pregnant. I didn't get her costume at all. I think she was just looking for even more attention than a costume would provide. She was a wack.

#5 "If you require corporate sponsorship it is not a folk event." Exactly. The parade's charm was its home-made costumes and informality when it first began.

Registration for the parade is higher than ever, and thankfully the decline in funding won't effect this year's most hotly anticipated float Yeah! I sure am thankful they won't be able to bring about that hotly anticipated float! Who wants hotly anticipated floats anyway? Oh wait, you meant "affect" not "effect." Nevermind. Love, The Pedant

If you see unhealthy looking guys in suits they ain't zombies but ex-merril lynch and lehman employees.
