So it's been a while (maybe 1 month) since a piece of glass came tumbling off the new Bank Of America building across the street from my office until of course it happened again today.. This is that new eco friendly building which promises to use less energy by cooling their building using rain water, using wind power instead of burning coal and most of the building is constructed mainly from recycled material and probably will be using the homeless people who loiter in front to carry the occupants up 80 flights of stairs instead of elevators. Very eco-friendly but with 3 of these falling pieces of glass shattering down on 6th avenue in the last few months, not very pedestrian friendly
As a comment from The Lad on TOR.com said maybe the bankers aren't jumping because the banks on wall street "put in reinforced glass". I wish it was so simple, these guys have no love and no heart, they remind me of the 2007 Mets, just watching the ship sink.
Maybe the Bank of America building had gotten so expensive that they couldn't afford the reinforced glass type to protect the newly acquired Merrell Lynch brokers!?!
I did get some good news when another regular reader of TOR sent me this link: http://www.dz-nuts.com/
After two stellar weeks of shows during the conventions, John Stewart was back to being predictable and not funny this week.. Oh well.
Reminds me of a question I posed the other day: Who takes more vacation: Howard Stern, Jon Stewart or George W Bush?
I know this is VERY late but wanted to give you my view on MSNBC pulling Keith "John Sterling" Olberman and Chris "Michael Kay" Mathews off its election night coverage.
All the liberal wienies always complain about how partisan FOX News is (and they are right) but what they must admit is that unlike MSNBC, FOX would never have the gall to put Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly on their election coverage the way that MSNBC did with their El 'Obamazera combo of Olberman and Mathews during the democratic primary season.
oh by the way, this will make you feel better: Robert Willumstad only became CEO of AIG in June. After the Feds take over of AIG, he was asked to step down. Per his safety net employment contract, Willumstad is gonna walk away with a cool $5,000,000.00.. That is money that we the Tax Payers will be paying for..
hope you brought some Vaseline
More tomorrow I'm sure
