“Shortage of Beds for Homeless in City
By JULIE BOSMAN
Published: December 9, 2009
New York City shelters are so full that homeless men and women have been left to sleep on benches, floors and dining room tables over the last three months, violating a landmark 1981 agreement, Legal Aid lawyers charged in court papers on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, bankers laugh all the way to the bank with fat year-end bonuses paid for by the tax payers. Great country we have!
So I went to Bell House singles event last night. Drank 3 free (!) but weak vodka_sodas; hung around for 2 hrs; still, better than I expected (great music), but since I have never actually met, and rarely even talked to anyone, at such an event, (last time I went was 18 years ago) I need either a personality transplant and/or be 20 years younger, events unlikely to occur. An Indian woman talked to me (it’s like the Jewish connection, easy); abandoned when she realized my age…(she’s looking for a husband, seemed like an unlikely place to do so).
However…lots of eye candy (who knew Park Slope/Gowanus can collect such attractive women, they certainly don’t hang around the streets or at the Co-op.)
Oh well…know any holiday parties for older singles?

Okay – we need to have a theme or motif for our badass biker gang (and a name too). I vote we go for an oriental dragon theme to be ultra badass

chicken, I think a dragon tattoo would be really cool – shoulder or pec. And if we go with the “oriental” theme (is this PC?), maybe Dave will join us, too. So we’ve got a them, now we just need a name.
US compensation rules to get tougher – the WH pay czar, Ken Feinberg, is
expected to impose tougher than anticipated comp caps. The $500K limit currently
in place for top execs at firms that received exceptional aid will now be the max for
hundreds of other employees at those companies too. Feinberg’s announcement is
due Fri and goes beyond what had been expected
>>Morning, stevie. What does 11217, of all people, have to do with pay caps at TARP recipients??
11217 is always harping on the fact that record bonuses to be paid will lead to higher PS house prices.
Noki, I’m still pre-coffee. Barely functional. Already spotting typos.
Mornin’ CGar! Had to get my coffee. Now I’m semi-functional.
