  1. enuf about Obama’s Benson. You want to go off on a rant…read the NYTimes articles today about Simmon’s Mattress and Tribune Co. and tell us how those financial types, LBOers, GoldSac scum are helping this country and how the good working people of this land are better off because of gov’t dereg.

  2. Slopefarm, you’re so right. Whoever installs this must also perform opera all day long on the plushie couch.

    Dave, we’re your new neighbors. Bit of a hike though.

    Also went to the Crown Heights tour. Arrived thoroughly soaked at 3:40 after getting lost for an hour in Fort Greene on my way to the Flea after visiting with Eddie Hibbert and his doors. I just saw the three places on Prospect before they shooed me away. Sorry I missed the beauty on St. Mark’s. Whole thing was well organized and all the guides were super knowledgeable and fun to talk to.

    Also went to first party in Bed Stuy (someone I met on Brownstoner). So fun!!!

  3. benson- SNL is satire. You take it with a grain of salt and a sense of humor. And please don’t put words in my mouth. If I was going to blame bush for the Olympic bid failure i would have said so. I am not blaming them for the loss of the Olympics (which I hardly care about)- I am blaming them for the immaturity and virulence of their reaction. It’s not even a tempest i a teapot- it’s like beating the teapot to death. ridiculous.

  4. Slopefarm;

    I was neutral regarding the NYC bid. I believe it is beneath the office of the POTUS to make an in-person sales pitch for the Olympics.

    By the way, what was the carbon footprint of sending over three big jets (that’s what his entourage required) to make this sales pitch. Damn, I have to stay in a Hampton Inn tonight, and take shuttle buses to save money and carbon!

  5. Actually, if you watched Chris Matthews yesterday, you’d think it was all Hillary’s fault that Chicago lost its Olympic bid. That man never misses (or fails to fabricate) an opportunity to hate on Hillary.
