Christie, worth discussing. Bobby Jindal, I don’t think so. His very loud and public refusal to have his state accept stimulus funds was a very transparent attempt to make himself look like the foremost “new” fiscally sound Repub candidate for 2012. Unfortunately, he’s messing with the chance for opportunities for people in a state with one of the lowest standards of everything – education, jobs, etc, not to mention yearly problems with weather related disaster. Add to that his desperate willingness to hand the state over to the oil companies, given what can and did happen in the Gulf, I wouldn’t trust him with the country.

Lee Bros just called. The car is ready, and the total bill is $1,050. Super fast for body work and basically right on budget. He even apologized for being $50 over the estimate and explained it was because of the cost of the parts. I didn’t quibble at all.

Remember the “at least $3,300” quote I got from the dealership? Those guys can go fuck a melon.

rf, thanks again for the reccomendation.

And now, an unabashed plug for myself:

Amzi Hill and I are beginning the first of many Bed Stuy and Crown Heights Walking Tours. The first will be this Sunday, at 11 AM. We will be touring Bedford Stuyvesant, from the Bedford Corners Historic District to-be, over to Stuyvesant Heights. We will be meeting in front of Girl’s High School, corner of Nostrand and Macon. Take A/C to Nostrand Ave.

Please see the flyer for more details:

Hope some of you can make it!

“Well, I submit to you Chris Christie and LA Governor Bobby Jindal”

ha ha, good luck with those
