  1. DIBS — I have absolutely NO problem with the idea of capping the Yankees salaries! (And it’s not just because I’m from Boston.) I understand tax payers helping out with various “civic centers” to make sure there is arts, culture, entertainment in the city… HOWEVER, when the organization has an operating budget that exceeds most 3rd world nations, make the majority of ticket prices and concessions out of reach for almost everyone, and still looks for a hand out to build UNNECESSARILY… then fuck them. Giuliani should be put in prison for brokering this bullshit.

    Oh — and my ire is not limited to the Yankees. What about the organizations at Lincoln Center? Unaffordable ticket prices to most, the salaries of various employees find their way into NYT headlines ($500,000 head stage hand), no attempt to contain costs, and they are still begging for money… both from donors AND the tax payers!

    (I actually have a friend who is a ballet dancer there — it is NOT her salary I have a problem with… the actual artists make a healthy, but not crazy salary.)

  2. Jesus! K-Fed (or as my husband calls him Well-Fed or K-Fat) has knocked up yet another chick.

    Isn’t there enough of his spawn on this earth already? This will be critter number five!
