Having demolished Sino-Forest, Muddy Waters has gone after another Chinese company alleging the same thing: misleading financial statements, fraud, etc. The stock dropped 30% but has since rebounded and is now down only 1%. The Bank of New York is one … Continue reading →

A condominium at 34 Bruce Park Avenue (no picture yet) has just been listed at $4.695 million. I haven’t seen it but, while I’m sure it’s marvelous, that’s not an address that screams four-and-a-half million to me. Perhaps I’m deaf.

45 Orchard Pl This condo in Greenwich sold for $1.650 million in 2007 and now, after 700 DOM and dropping its price to $1.290, has a contract.

From reader Al Dente: “I would like to discuss gay leaf blower operators who couldn’t get a good job because our education system sucks.” Marianna? : )

The Gaza Flotilla sets sail again today. Time to replay the answer.

No sexes at this Swedish preschool. Breaking down gender roles is a core mission in the national curriculum for preschools, underpinned by the theory that even in highly egalitarian-minded Sweden, society gives boys an unfair edge. To even things out, … Continue reading →

The President himself had to grant thousands of waivers to his Democrat union friends to let them escape his utopia, and now it turns out that the Connecticut unions rejected Malloy’s plan because of exactly that issue.  [Union rep] Padilla … Continue reading →
