Here’s an opportunity for Walt
Rumor has it that, at 88, Lou Caravella is retiring as Greenwich Tax Collector and won’t run for reelection next fall. The job pays an astonishing $95,000 per year (as does, I am informed, the town clerk’s position – who … Continue reading

Can’t we all get along?
As Bernie gets sentenced, fights break out among his victims and the feeder fund suckers. Don’t forget, Walt says he’s Bernie’s biggest chump, and with his claim of $7.5 billion, maybe he’ll make off with all the loot. And maybe … Continue reading

Someone doesn’t get it, but perhaps that’s me
Perusing tomorrow’s broker open house list I notice that sellers are still holding firm, God bless them. 63 N. Maple, a house large enough to accommodate a family but on a road unfit for same, has dropped from $5.1 million … Continue reading

Price reduction, or so the builder says
After describing the price increase on this spec house as a “curious” strategy, I received a rather peeved email from its builder, informing me that he had lowered, not raised his price. That may have been his intention but I … Continue reading

But I thought dissent was the highest form of patriotism?
That was when McChimp was president. Now that the Messiah’s in charge, to dissent is to commit treason, at least to Paul Krugman. As I understand the Nobel Prize winner’s argument, the Carbon Tax bill was an attempt to do the … Continue reading

Bernie Poll
Tomorrow’s Today’s the big day when Bernie heads off to prison or Walt’s place on Round Hill. So, does (or should) the judge throw the book at him or let him off easy? The longer the sentence, the harsher the prison he’s … Continue reading

It’s no surprise here
ABC News reports that Obama “won’t rule out middle class tax hike to pay for Obama Care.” Well of course he wont; he can’t. The only people foolish enough to believe the Messiah’s campaign pledge not to do exactly that are … Continue reading

I don’t care what our cops do in their free time, I just hope we didn’t pay them a travel allowance

Well good
Republican Saxby Chambliss has put a hold, at least temporarily, on Cass Sunstein’s nomination to be Regulation Czar. The Harvard (need you ask?) professor is on record as supporting the right of animals to sue people in court and also advocates a bqan … Continue reading

They’re friggin’ everywhere!
Click on Greenwich Time’s web site or the Hartford Currant’s and you see mom’s cure for yellow teeth advertised all over the page. Fair enough; they go nicely with the disgusting pictures of belly fat which can also be cured … Continue reading

Here’s another bill Congressman Jim Himes was too dumb to read
The ex-Goldman Sachs boy is really giving Cos Cob a bad name as the details of the bills he voted so willingly and ignorantly for start crawling to the surface. How about this? U.K. liquor maker, Diego, received $2.7 billion … Continue reading

Obama – putting politics ahead of science, for a change!
This story, with full evidence to back it up, has been all over the Internet the past week but remains untouched by the NYT and other mains stream media because it might make the One look like Bush or something, … Continue reading

Lots of rentals, lots of deluded fools?
That’s what this guy thinks. Homeowners (and, in Greenwich, spec builders) who figure they’ll just rent out their unsold house for a year and wait for the market to come back are in for a really rude awakening. I don’t disagree … Continue reading

I’d prefer a furniture company run Connecticut
Ethan Allen is shutting mills and lumberyard operations in Maine and New Hampshire in response to a 40% drop in sales. That’s a sad story – I’m familiar with Andover, Maine and the closing of that factory and the loss of … Continue reading

And he loved them too!
Greenwich Boys and Girls Club celebrates life of Michael Jackson. By holding a pajama party, no doubt, with counselors and campers all in their PJs. Sweet. Robert Tate provided choral music for the event, legal defense for counselors sponsored by … Continue reading

Jim Himes, Harvard Grad
What is it about Harvard that turns so many of its graudates into amoral schemers? George Bush II being a notable exception of course, but from Walter Noel to John Kerry to, now, Greenwich’s Congressmen Jim Himes, seemingly able minds … Continue reading

It had better be
The NYTs reports that the carbon tax bill may be an election issue. This ought to be a no-brainer. Democrats voted for a crushing new tax without a single one of them knowing what was in the law they were enacting. … Continue reading
