The sad thing is that when people really do need to leave, most won't because this is what they will remember. There has to be a better way to get money from the federal goverment for NYC.
comments:
- Perhaps Standard & Poor should give this lobster-less lobster salad a AAA rating.
- Let's just call it what it is, false advertising. It's very convenient for Mr.Zabar to quote Wikipedia and maintain that “you will find that crawfish in many parts of the country is referred to as lobster.” This is New York City and we don't use "crawfish" and "lobster" interchangeably. It's the most absurd thing I've heard in quite a while. To say they're in the same family, really a bit of a stretch.
- No big deal-but if there was no whitefish in the whitefish salad, now that would be a very different story.
- What's in their chicken salad?
- It's not about the fact that he called crawfish lobster, it's that he charged lobster prices for crawfish, and deliberately misled people into thinking it was actually lobster. I'm sure it's delicious, it may be better than actual lobster salad. But the price was part of the misleading.
- A New Yorker and his money are soon parted. That's the whole basis of the town, get used to it.
A former New York City cop begins a year-long prison sentence today after a criminal court judge blasted him this morning for repeatedly lying to jurors about the night he spent with a naked, intoxicated young woman in the bedroom of her apartment.
- "You've ripped a hole in that fabric of our society," Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Gregory Carro said at the sentencing hearing.
- "You wanted to get into the apartment so badly that you committed a crime to do so"
- "By your own admission, being in bed with a vulnerable, intoxicated young female," "You're a trained police officer."
- "We want her drunk enough that she had a faulty memory," "So you came up with this story. She was a lonely soul that needed comfort."
- "You told a story that was incredible: Admitting what you couldn't deny; denying what you couldn't admit," the judge said. "You had a duty to testify truthfully, and it's clear that you didn't."
- "'Simpleton,' like a fox," "interwove the witness's memories with your own explanation of what those memories meant."

But does anyone live or work in the park, no, so it's really even hotter.

“This is not a matter of one pipe dumping sewage into the river,” said Philip Musegaas, director of Hudson River programs for Riverkeeper. “This is multiple pipes in a large area.”

Increasing numbers of Americans are calling themselves unaffilliated when asked what Party they belong to. The actual candidates we get are usually Party picks and the public is so turned off by this, they have shunned both Parties. This makes it even harder for someone like myself who is a liberal Democrat, part Libertarian on a couple issues, fiscally conservative when it comes to the military budget and climbing an uphill battle against a well funded Party-picked Democrat. I am for a Federal ban on fracking, forcing corporations to pay somewhat lower taxes here instead of overseas and actually getting people voted out who won’t go along with my platform. I hate to sound that aggressive but the present system is dysfunctional. Look into my platform, support me and let’s kick some political ass in the process. And yes, if this ever becomes public, I’ll stand by it 100%. Scott Noren DDS

1. Location, Location, Location, does not matter. Mayor Bloomberg's staff seem to agree:
“Whether he’s leading an international environmental conference in São Paulo as he did two weeks ago,” Mr. Loeser said, “or overseeing the Police Department’s response to the London subway attacks from his plane like he did coming back from a meeting about the Olympics in 2005, in this day and age, the person New Yorkers elected mayor can always act as mayor — wherever he or she is."
- The key point is if you can be a mayor of 8 million people from anywhere you do not need to be there.
2.Facebook, LinkedIn, AIM and Skype
3.Amazon, Google and online storefronts. provide access to all the niche products and services that 20 years ago one could only find in a large city like NYC.
4. For all the hype over TSA, Travel has never been easier. I have traveled to NYC for a meeting and traveled home the same day.
5. Corporate Telecommuting. The skills you provide is more important to companies that where you provide them from.
