  1. Lech;

    Anytime for poker!

    Recently Slopefarm spotted me via my Borsalino. I was in front of my condo, stooped down, picking up litter. When I got back up, there was Slopefarm. I proceeded to have a short chat with him holding two handful’s worth of litter.

  2. “jessi, I’m talking large scale multi billion dollar infrastructure projects like the WPA sponsored (in 1930 dollars).

    There are none of those. WTF is this government doing???”

    Gotcha – just my two cents. One of the deals I’m working on will benefit an immigrant, small business owner in an “enterprise zone” so it’s no Hoover Dam but it’s another piece of the puzzle – helping out small business owners.

    “With all due respect, your statement shows exactly why President Obama is in trouble wrt the “stimulus”. The idea of the “stimulus” is to inject money into the economy quickly. Remember all the catch-words? “Shovel Ready” projects. I don’t think it plays too well on Main St. that the money is held up as bond deals are being formulated.”

    You’re right – it doesn’t look good, but I’m not sure what could have been done differently – certainly with one of my deals when it’s been frivolous litigation delaying an otherwise shovel ready project.

  3. I hear what you’re saying, benson, but I emailed most all the OT regulars we know who I thought might join us, as well as some regulars who we’ve never met. I’m sorry, but the lurkers and 3,000 Twitter followers will simply have to arrange their own lap dances and gatherings.

    (Besides, according to protocol, we DO try and keep these gatherings “Off the OT”, though there is the occasional slip, at which point the proverbial cat is already out of the bag, and there appears to be a “Wakeeta Exception”.)

    😉

  4. Benson I was driving around the other guy and I saw someone driving in the lane next to me wearing a borsalino. Actually sped up to see if it was you, but it wasn’t.

    We still need to have poker night sometime.
