Whacko muslim medical students, bless their hearts, are boycotting classes on evolution and biology because such teaching conflicts with the koran. I’m pretty sure there are fundamentalist Christian schools down south who can accommodate these people and, so long as … Continue reading →

And sometimes it comes up coconut. No sooner had I posted my paen to gratitude this past Thanksgiving than I heard a horrible crash downstairs and discovered that my mother Leatrice, 87, had suffered a serious stroke. I don’t believe in … Continue reading →

Democrats and Obummer have abandoned the white working class and will focus the messiah’s 2012 campaign on intellectuals and poor folk – ie, “minorities”. The shift to class warfare, always in evidence, has become even more pronounced in the past few months … Continue reading →

Latest batch of leaked emails (came out last week, although the New York Times hasn’t told its readers yet) show how scientists colluded with government to keep the hype (and the money) going. 

It’s not $7 trillion, but I went to Chase in Old Greenwich this morning and got rid of a few euros left over from my trip to Italy in 2009. Got a lousy exchange rate – $1.25 – but I’m … Continue reading →

Most women in the world spend twenty hours a week searching for cooking fuel. And longer walking for water. This is the “cultural revolution” Colleen from Johnson State College and her fellow occupiers wish on us. Of course, they envision … Continue reading →

Here at the Fountain household we went back to our roots and prepared a genuine Cos Cob stew. The squirrels were mainly shot from trees (Riverside School’s oaks are always a happy hunting ground) but we tossed in a plump road-killed … Continue reading →

Well no, actually, that’s not where I’ll be. I don’t do malls to begin with and I can’t see the utility in fighting shoppers and Occupy Whatever protestors to buy unwanted items that will be discarded junk a year from … Continue reading →

This guy, writing in the Wall Street Journal, thinks the apocalypse is a long way off. I’d be hugely relieved if he is right and I’m wrong and, unlike me, he sounds like he knows what he’s talking about. Here’s hoping.

I kid you not. (hint: poke it with a fork, toss it in the oven, bake)

  Passenger forced to stand for seven-hour flight from Anchorage to Philly after 400 lb fatso fills both seats. The airline did give him a $200 coupon, just in case he cares to try again.

Go for some of the most expensive electricity in the country – Utah, $0.8 per kilowatt, Connecticut, $0.19. Oh, and don’t forget to raise taxes on those rich f***ers in Greenwich.

154 North Street, a 1/2 acre back lot with an ’88 house on it that positively screams “tear down!” has dropped its price once again, this time to $1.750 million. It started as an estate sale in 2007 at $3.5 … Continue reading →

Debtors prisons return. Are stocks, public floggings and witchcraft trials next?

Russ Pruner listed 18 Grahampton Road, 3.21 acres and a beautiful 1940′s house, in early October and priced it at $3.9 million, which is exactly what the town values it at. It has a contract today. The listing suggests that … Continue reading →

I rather liked this 2010 construction at 19 Montgomery Lane in mid-country. One acre of land, nice back yard, 5,000 sq. ft. plus basement and built by Kaali-Nagy, who does an excellent job. Owners priced it at $4.750 million back in … Continue reading →

When she leaves up a picture taken just after last January’s snowstorm. Twenty-four Alexander Street (on the way to the dump), purchased for $665,000 in 2007 and relisted for $595,000 this January, dropped its price to $395,000 a few months … Continue reading →

Groupon shares fall below ipo price. Duh.
