Montrose- maybe you could add polemicist to your list of egos to be coddled. Of course he has no money, or brains, but maybe you could still find a spot for him.
Catsimaditas must be on the same drugs, Dave, ‘cuz he just doesn’t have the right stuff to be mayor of New York City. I should have started a business coddling huge egos who want to overreach. What a missed opportunity, nowadays.
Them – “Can I become mayor? (congressperson, president, whatever…)
Me – ” Pay me $$XX, and I will look into that for you.”
Sheesh.
But No1 The economy is doing great! House prices will stay high forever! Nothing can go wrong, not!
U.S. Recession May Have Begun in Last Quarter of 2007

“The revisions now reinforce measures such as employment and production that already signaled the economy was shrinking. The National Bureau of Economic Research, the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based arbiter of economic cycles, defines a recession as a “significant” decrease in activity over a sustained period of time. The declines would be visible in GDP, payrolls, production, sales and incomes.
“We’re in a recession,” Allen Sinai, chief economist at Decision Economics Inc. in New York, said in a Bloomberg Television interview. “It’s going to widen, it’s going to deepen.”
Where is the Asshat who said we was not in a recession?
BTW Have any one noticed very light traffic these days? Kids can play in the street because there are no cars coming, 4 dollar gas will do that…
The What
Someday this war is gonna end..
bxrl…yes, and now we see the reason why the stores have all been shut. They haven’t been paying the distributors. What a mess for what started out as a few good concepts.
Sad story for the co-owner of Blue Pig too. If the manager was stiffing employees how was i not known before now? Bouncing paychecks is not something employees stay quiet about. I can’t imagine there were no complaints before it came to this.
“It’s a great time to buy because I really think we’ve hit the bottom out here,” a managing director for the North Fork of Long Island at Brown Harris Stevens, Suzanne Hahn, said. “Cyclically, 2008 is probably the best time to buy since the mid-1990s.”
Even I think this realtor is one some kind of hallucinogen.
