Peekskill Should Premiere New Simpson Movie

First, congratulations to Springfield Vermont! Now if only Peekskill had been named Springfield we too could host a Simpson's Premiere...with the failing Indian Point reactors spoiling our sky line, and the scenic view of the Hudson, what a better place? In the meantime, don't forget that later this week the film hits the streets, and with it, all anti nuclear activists are encouraged to do the same.
