  1. I voted for Reagan. That was all many years ago. Just like Clinton. Not worth the time and effort to discuss at this point. Christ, no one’s even interested in talking about Bush anymore. Get your ass out of the past and start looking forward. This is a testing of NYC during this crisis and my bet is that it will come out just fine and will remain “Capital of the World.” Neighborhoods throughout Brooklyn are doing fine. They’re on a path to betterment no matter what their makeup looks like. No one cares to argue that kind of divisive crap either.

  2. “the way it happened and the fact she couldn’t be saved made the doctor suspect she had a pre-existing condition.”

    Interesting, this is the conclusion that BH and I came to this morning. Me too wasder, it’s kind of stunning, and she’s close to my age, and people my age aren’t supposed to die yet.

  3. chicken–ha ha…

    Biff–they are doing the autopsy today so we should know something soon. when learning to ski I think the most common accident is when the skis get ahead of the body and you fall down backwards–which could bring the back of your head into contact with hard packed snow (not unlike hitting plain old hard ground). Could have caused some kind of slow leakage of blood which would explain why she didn’t feel anything until later. Either way, awful awful story and she sounded like a wonderful person.

  4. Reminds me of the “Shortest list in the world” jokes, wasder. I hope we don’t rehash this whole racist crap all over again this late in the afternoon because of your snide remark. 🙂

  5. I went snowboarding once (and only once) and banged my head to the point of seeing stars. Kids, don’t go on the slopes without a helmet!

    I used to be really clever before the fall but ever since then I’ve asdnboiwtkano if;aa/rfsd…………….zzzzzzzzzz

  6. wasder, I heard a doctor talking about the accident. Of course it’s all conjecture, but the way it happened and the fact she couldn’t be saved made the doctor suspect she had a pre-existing condition. Either way, it’s so sad, especially for her children.

  7. “You have to explain what aspects of your definition of “gentrification” you don’t like because, to most of us, it sounds like you don’t like anyone “non black” moving into any neighborhood that is predominantly black, whether its a nice place or a hell hole!!!! As long as its stays black that’s all that matters. Am I wrong???”

    I just brought a wireless Mac Keyboard and I don’t want to smash it it against my HD Monitor. I will leave that topic for some other time…

    I want to know Where is BENSON!!!!! I want to know why any of the Retards (except Biff and No you are not a Retard) did not parse the Reagan Rant????

    The is a degree of Hypocrisy on Brownstoner is disgusting, I really mean it!! Whuh was correct that you are “intellectual cowards”!!!

    Benson where are you?? I’m waiting….

    The What

    Someday this war is gonna end…

  8. The Natasha Richardson thing has been really haunting me the last couple of days. And also reminding me of exactly why I don’t ski. I am sure there are plenty of people on here that ski but for me its just not worth it. I used to say “jews don’t ski” because I’m jewish and I don’t ski, but since then I have met jewish skiers. Either way, I don’t ski…
