You’re not taking that article seriously are you Joe? It asks whether Tony Blair is a CIA agent because somebody has written a book in which a main character (resembling Tony Blair) is a CIA agent (and the protagonist of the book can’t prove it either!!!)
apropos of the ‘opening links’ thread, seems that hiring on Wall Street is definitely picking up. Anecdotally of course.
Da kid, who was laid off last November, was called back on a contract basis, $25/hour, as many hours as she could work, Saturday and Sunday and nights included. She made like $6000 in a few weeks, enuf to keep her out of the basement a few more months.
Now she’s just been offered her old position back and the same firm, at quite a nice salary, given her age and experience, or should I say lack thereof.
Meanwhile she just had another interview with a WS boutique research firm. She was one of eight candidates, made the second round and is now one of two. Second interview today. She may well find herself with the luxury of two job offers.
Meanwhile a friend of hers who was laid off from the same firm but who comes from a poor family, so is on her own financially, and was going thru the last of her 401k to survive, has just found a 100k job.
Sorry BHO, Miss Muffet, and the What, RE has bottomed. See the jobs claims and productivity stats this AM?
ENY – I wasnt shaky – I am superstitious about baseball.
As for next year I think they have a very good shot – think about how much better the team would have been if Wang was healthy and Marte was in his post-season form – and think about how amazing they would have been in the playoffs if Cano and Texiera were hitting.
Benson – I agree with your point #2 – but I think the issue isnt that we don’t need a parade for sports teams (I mean why not – people like them and we have parades and fairs for much less publicly engaging things) I think the issue is why dont we have more parades for real heroes.
As great as the Yankee victory was last night, I am left with one bad feeling – what the hell am I going to do with myself until April.

I’m curious as to what the Brits in the room might think of this article.
