  1. biff, it was the 3 of them standing at that vertical pole close to the subway car entrance. I simply wedged myself into the middle (ie the 2 hot ones in facing me and the decent looking one a little to the side)

  2. “subway was packed but mind it less when one is sandwiched between 2 hot and 1 decent looking girls”

    Wait, 3 women? So was one of the hot women standing in front of you or was one sitting on the lap of one of the two next to you?

  3. Maybe we should be looking across the river, some comments from Chris Christie on Morning Joe:

    On “Morning Joe” this week he said, “There were a lot of hard cuts and difficult things to do in there, but fact of the matter is we’re trying to treat people like adults. They know that we’re in awful shape, and they know that no one else is around anymore to pay for the problems that won’t hurt them.”

    What about the argument that in a recession we need stimulus spending? “It’s dead wrong. More spending with what? The federal government continuing to print more and more money and leaving that debt for our kids? It will only grind the economy down further.”

    On public schools: Teachers complain when they’re getting “4% and 5% salary increases a year in a 0% inflation world. They get free health benefits from the day they’re hired for their entire family until the day they die. They believe they are entitled to this shelter from the recession when the people who are paying for that shelter are the people who have been laid off, who’ve lost their homes, had their hours cut back. And all we ask them to do is freeze their salary for one year and pay 1.5% of their salary for their health benefits. . . . As much as I love teachers, everyone’s got to be a part of the sacrifice.”
