Dibs,
The link to The bensonhurst Dating Game that you posted (at 11:22) is very funny, in a sad kind of way.
Comedy and tragedy are fruits of the same tree.
donatella,
the list of faith bashers is long and noteworthy.
those “artists” that make their bones by
trafficking in the denigration of Christian
iconagraphy.
it’s just old and worn by now,
it was even in the 90’s when this
work was exhibited.
but there are those that continue the
idiocy because of the predictable
“gasp and moan” from the media that
runs to report on the latest urine soaked saint.
I used to rent the garden on 180 Washington Park…my apt looked better than the rest of the house. Just sayin. Glad the nutjobs that sold it got their money.
i dont agree there will be a collapse. my premise assumed it away!
i dont disagree that the end of the stimulus will create a drag and possibly cause a second downward draft, but i am not betting on it.
as much as everyone likes to hate on bo,tg,jp,gs,jpm etal and complain about tarp and the stimulus program i think the net effect has been the best save in baseball history. pardon the metaphor.
the original goal was to save the banks with a backdoor nationalization that wasnt – on its face – a break from capitalism as we know and love it.
in fact i agree w the haters that we the taxpayers have funded the monumental profits that the banks have turned as traders (and leveragers) of ust risk only have *earned*. while it hasnt spurred lending yet, it has effectively allowed the banks to refill capital holes that will allow them to lend again (more prudently, we hope but doubt). i think that time is getting ever nearer and therefore would not bet against the original govt plan outrunning the bear risks.
Definitely an outlier price wise in this neck of the woods. Can’t think of another house that sold near this price in the hood. But still for me its highly annoying when people build in a price reduction based on outmoded notions of the neighborhood.
Just pointing out the obvious, as I saw it, outlier, wasder.
***Bid half off peak comps***
“u calling me stoopid, shill? allow me to borrow a line from you, *that’s rich!*”
If you’re one of the idiots you uses the term “hater” to tar anyone who disses your hood or, in this case, diagrees with you, then yes, you’re stupid.
“Yes, indeed. Spike has bought and sold every brownstone in Brooklyn.” BHO–as someone who lives around here you must admit that there is a built in incredulity (read Mindard L) to the notion that people with 2 mil to spend on a house would do so in Fort Greene. That is my only point. I bet it annoys you too.
Legion, I think we are saying the same thing… I just read backwards…
