  1. rob,

    you are right, this whole issue with Madonna and Malawi is ridiculous.
    basically we all witnessed a celebrity buying a child.
    without regard for his father
    without regard for his culture
    without regard for his historical legacy

  2. hey folks,

    Before we get all gooey over Brad and Angelina’s largesse, please keep in mind that those who make big bucks have two options every year:

    1. pay the government 35% or 3.5 million for every 10 million.

    2. start a foundation or charity which directs your money to where you want it and also gives you the appearance of being Mother Teresa.

    one way or the other you pay. I applaud their efforts which are much needed, but I also understand that they are lucky to live in a nation that is able to pay them a king’s ransom for playing at characters and heros while the wages of real life heroism are oftentimes doled out to an audience of none.

  3. >> I wasn’t sure I trusted them because they were the only workers I’ve ever had who listened to NPR on their radio!!!!!

    I guess you don’t trust me as an ex-homeless guy as well, posting on bstoner.com! LOL!!!

  4. I don’t think it’s a lady. i think it’s one of the guys who was doing the landscape work. They had to cut out the concrete to make a usable garden space.

    I told the landscaping crew that I wasn’t sure I trusted them because they were the only workers I’ve ever had who listened to NPR on their radio!!!!!

  5. >>PS…in your research, you never found out that I was a manager on this fund in the mid to late nineties, long before Tim came along.

    That…i did not know. I knew that you worked for harris in Chicago after receiving your MBA from NW. You did a brief stint in Hong kong. After harris, you worked for excelsior, US trust, etc.

    Btw, you are right that there isn’t a JHS close to you. But I always wondered who that african american lady is in front of your house on google map’s street view. LOL!
