  1. “Nomi, you and bfarwell need some reading comprehension lessons.

    I wasn’t equating lazy welfare people with the middle class whose incomes have declined.”

    Oh, right. This is why it a slippery slope to come over to the dark side.

    Who said anything about welfare????

    Oh, this is dumb.

    I support the Bush tax cuts.

  2. “CGar, what kind of food do they have at the place on Atlantic where we are going?”

    None to speak of, Dave, but you can order in (as we have done numerous times) from any number of places nearby. That said, often enough Pepe’s wife Linda cooks and puts out a big spread, but I’m not sure if she’s going to do that tomorrow. Great homemade Italian. I will check with them and get back to you in the third quarter. 😉

    (m4l, LMAO)

  3. And perfect example of these hard-working rich people would be… you, Dave? I mean we can all tell you work very hard and for many, many hours. I’m sure your houseboy doesn’t devote nearly as much time and effort to this brownstoner site thing.

    Sorry, I mean I like you, but I’m sure even you know you’re just trying to epater le poors here, non?

  4. “The UK, France, Germany and Italy all have conservative / center-right governments (as does Canada!). I doubt they think of themselves as socialist!”

    Okay, Italy is a nightmare, they’re less socialist than kleptocracy. But I’m totally willing to go for any of those other countries as a working model.

  5. Willie Brown seems to be an astute politician. He can sense a change in the wind and shifts to the right.

    Hopefully union bashing will be a stronger and stronger force over the next year or two.

  6. Willie Brown seems to have an issue with the salaries of civil works. He said something about them choosing to work for lower salaries in favor of job security. Now they make more than their counterparts in the private sector AND have job security. I’ve been going about the game the wrong way. It sucks making the same as some lazy schmuck at city hall who can’t get fired, while all I have to do is blink wrong and they’re terminating me.
