Works for me, Kens, we weren’t getting anywhere anyway.
I plan on painting in the next couple of weeks. Front downstairs parlor. It was used as a dining room, but I need the room as a combo workroom/office and with guest room capabilities. I’m moving my dining room into a smaller room in the center of the house, which originally was the butler’s pantry and a passthrough. When I moved here, it was a bedroom. It makes more sense to have the dining room right next to the kitchen, instead of having to go through my workroom/office to get to the DR. I had it that way for a while, but I had too much furniture in there, as I was renting out the front to a friend who was originally on a short stay. I moved the DR back there when she left, but it became a storeroom when I was selling stuff at the Flea.
Anyway, it’s dark, the ceiling has a homemade stalagtite finish, curtesy of hand applied dry wall compound which is now rock hard, and lots of doors and a triple bay window, and a fireplace. All the wood is white, including the fireplace, and I’d like to strip it, but I’m not, at this time. I like color, so I’m thinking of a Mediterannean gold, or on the flip side, something in a Caribbean blue, probably both with white trim.
Finally, benson- something we agree on. Edwards must rate as one of the biggest jerks of all time. What an arrogant ass. And worse than that- his wife is dying of incurable cancer. The guy has no heart heart in addition to having no brains.
We discovered a wonderful French bakery (Chef Sebastien, the baker, from France! Really!) with table service in Bed-Stuy, on the corner of Putnam and Tompkins.
Once the PLUSAs get thrown out of all the bars in Brooklyn, we could all get fat there (mmmm, raspberry mousse with raspberries on top!), and drunk too–bring our own bottles.
Benson- Its the same disease of grandeur Tiger has.
What would allow his to think that if he kept a huge stable of mistresses that one wouldn’t up and rat him out one day? Russian Roulette- fire the gun enough times and you’ll get the bullet eventually.
I will read the Huffington Post article,
but I must say, you are categorically wrong about the idea that Reagan’s tax cuts were not proven to be effective in stimulating economic growth. Most economists will tell you that the Clinton years even benefitted from those policies. If you go back further, JFK also used the idea of tax cuts to spur an economy when he took office after Truman.
I’m not saying there is no role for government, there certainly is. but let’s be clear about one thing, the government is no better at producing jobs than it is at balancing budgets. Small businesses and individuals are the largest producers of jobs, the government’s role should be to lay the groundwork to allow them to prosper.
I think there must be some phenomenon that gets into powerful men’s heads, in which they think they are invincible.
I’m thinking of John Edwards and his sex tape. How stupid can you be to make a sex tape with a person you only knew for a year, run for the President of the United States, and think that it was not going to surface!!!

I just hope they do enough business to stay.
