Grim,
Is there a way to show this graph, corrected for inflation and taking the year 2000 as the reference?

I recall a case of these was $4.99 at Wegman’s in Ithaca. Kind of says something when the can deposit increases the case cost by 25%.

“If you have such a problem with NJ then move out.”

I just might, along with many other young, educated, hard working, productive people. Who is going to pay for your welfare state then?

Just read that Shiller piece from the NYT. What a monumental load of dramaticized crap that editorial is!!! You talk about bs. When those families were being evicted for not paying rent this government could give a flying f*ck. Put them in a house with some creative mortgage lending and all of a sudden we need to bailout the dumb@ss bank who gave them the loan!!! This doesn’t have a frigging thing to do with those families its about giving a politically connected business a bailout because they made some stupid business decisions.

40% of sheeple still support Corzine:

Even worse:

But the poll found New Jersey voters know little about how major decisions by the
Supreme Court affect state spending and quality of life.

Fifty-one percent of those responding said they had not heard about the court-ordered housing requirements and 23 percent said they had heard “just a little.” Forty-one percent said they’ve heard nothing and 32 percent “just a little” about the state Council on Affordable Housing, which implements affordable housing requirements.

This state is full of complete morons. How is that single party government treating you now?

I think that should be Obama’s campaign theme: Obama – bringing NJ to DC so everyone can get a taste.

uhm, actually we only elected Bush the 2nd time around (I know, still no excuse)… the Supreme Court paid back a favor the first time.

Yep, still bitter… sigh… still having nightmares about “chad.”

“Ahh. We’re all buggered”

I believe the phrase you wanted was “we’re all buggered in the end.”

Enjoy the steak while it lasts. A lot of companies are getting to the end of the financial year and are in the process of burning through the last of the entertainment budget.

My employer is laying on the lunches and after work drinks in a last frenzy. Come July 1st all contractors will be shown the door unless their are on a chargeable account. By September if the Q1 numbers are not hitting targets, the layoffs will start.

Anyone for some port or a Grappa?

re: bankers bailout bill.

Send Senator Menendez an email on the THE HOUSING AND ECONOMIC RECOVERY ACT OF 2008 he is on the Senate banking committee. FYI, the bill is on the floor and vote is due perhaps by Friday.

Even SHILLER is endorsing this one.

scotch tastings tend to degenerate pretty quickly. Maybe they’re laying a trap so there is an excuse to can a few people.

#250

my pallette is so well aquainted with the Beast from my college days that a tasting would be completely redundant.

this was the standard keg in my college years:

kettle,

I think once cheese puffs and twinkies (2 of our 4 major food groups) hit $6 a box that’ll cause the masses to lift up their bloated bodies and start waddling in the streets.
