“Suicide prevention..”
LOL
Congratulations to Principal Seth Phillips and the entire PS 8 community! You deserve the accolades, and you certainly don’t deserve the excrement the DoE heaped upon you last spring. Way to go!
(I like the red lines, too. Purty.)
Bloomberg for president!
“Uh oh! Where’s that next bubble?”
Suicide prevention..
The What (I’m calling myself DOW2500SP150)
Someday this war is gonna end…
“A new study shows many New York City cyclists ignore traffic and helmet laws.”
Apparently there’s another study about to be released that concluded the temperature drops in the winter and rises in the summer. Way to go, Hunter College!
“Who’d have thought DOW8000 was too optimisitc a moniker?”
Me. I knew housing created the floor in 2003. Nasdaq’s demise was supposed to take us lower. But I thought, ahhh, another bubble (alternative fuels?) would restart the cycle. Uh oh! Where’s that next bubble?
I think he’ll take that under careful consideration rob.
but you only live once. once youre dead youre dead and you cant enjoy your life anymore anyway. power, my butt. does he seriously think anyone is impressed?! i think im going to write him a letter today expressing how much i think he’s wasting his life away.
*Rob*
First of all, he does it because he wants to. He wasn’t roped into it. There’s certainly an altruistic motive here but of course there’s also the ego and the power that comes with it. And, he has higher aspirations. I’d rather have someone at the helm that had some business sense then one of those dick wad, career politicians that the council and the rest of the city is full of.
Not really sure what hifgher aspirations he has though. A Senate job would be too boring for him. Governor?? Not unleess there’s a see-change and all those idiots get voted out of Albany. There’s no way someone like him would ever deal with asshole Sheldon Silver on a daily basis. And finally, no one from NYC will ever get elected president.
