  1. Expert, perhaps I missed it due to the throngs of bargain hunters out there on Sunday. I’ll go back during the week and try my luck.

    DeLepp, thanks for the tips!

    Biffy…PLEASE!!! You must warn when a site is not safe for work!!! You should have seen me scrambling to close that browser window w/ the lap taffy cuffs!!! YIKES!

  2. I really don’t think that illegal immigrants have taken jobs away from Americans who are interested in working. I do believe that some line has to be drawn when a larger corporation hires them so that they don’t have to pay benefits. Many restaurants and other small businesses could not exist around the country without them.

    The whole system is f*&*&ed up as to how to deal with the millions that are here. Did you know that in 2007, Mexicans working in the US sent back $26B to mexico.

  3. You’d be surprised at how many “beneath me” jobs I held while in HS and college.

    Not trying to place all the blame on illegals but, I don’t see white teenage girls in those jobs these days.

    Could it be that parents are making their kids do stuff that would enhance a college application instead? Maybe now kids DO think these jobs are beneath them. We’d become quite the indulgent society until this economy hit and set us all straight with a hard lined reality check.

    I don’t know. Point is, I think there are a lot of factors in place one of them certainly is the illegal immigrant factor.

  4. Nobody noticed that American Apparel seems to win the award for the most illegal immigrants in one factory? lol. But hey, it’s Made in America!

    Someone didn’t like one of their ads when the Smith Street store opened…

  5. joe from brooklyn- I honestly think you and your family need to go back to whatever motherland spawned you. I was especially taken by the juxtaposition of “immigrants (criminals)”. I could delve into what really damaged this country but people like you are too blind to get it. Hint: It ain’t Liberals.

    Go get him, What.

  6. I just saw some Jim Morrison cuff links on etsy.com….I swear if I can get my hands on some Bea Arthur cuff links I’ll be dancing down Flatbush Avenue…jacked up foot and all!!!!
