  1. Hoboken,

    don’t worry,
    as we speak:
    -Venezuela is signing orders for 5 billion in armaments from Russia
    -Oil prices are heading north
    -Iran is all systems go on nukes with Israel set to go ballistic
    -Karzai is trying to play the double agent in Afghanistan
    -North Korea is starving
    -EU is now worried about Portugal

    and that’s just for starters,
    be assured, it is “irrational exuberance”.

  2. First there was Pelosi stating that “you cannot see what’s in the bill until we vote on it…”

    Then there was the idiot congressman that stated; “if you don’t tie our hands, we’ll keep stealing…”

    Then we had the congressman that stated; “…I don’t care about what’s in the Constitution…”

    Now in the latest bit of news showing us the true extent of the stupidity and lack of intellectual rigor seated in our halls of power, we have this congressman who thinks that 8000 troops could “capsize” Guam.
    Hint, islands do not float on top of the ocean, they rise from the ocean floor.

  3. DIBS I admit it is a crazy call.. But if we don’t see any big fcuk ups by the Goverment I think it will be possible.. Even I can’t believe that my charts are telling me that these numbers are possible.. But that is what they are telling me..

  4. Pete, it that the one that featured this poor, not all there mentally, black woman who had the most fabulous house on the block that was falling down around her? She spent a lot of time in court trying to keep the city out of her life, but she had cars on blocks in the yard, and the inside of the house was like Grey Gardens. If so, it was an interesting piece, and very sad, too. I found myself on both sides, at the same time, I wanted to be able to fix up places like hers, but I perfectly understood what she and her neighbors felt when all this new money came barging into the neighborhood. I don’t even think the gay factor was major, it was economic.

  5. Cobble I stopped doing parties as soon as my weight went over 200.. I won’t be attending unless I get under 200.. I am at 218…. Oh no.. Thanks for the INVITE…
