Heard the end of the following conversation today between a guy sitting on the street with a sign "will work for money" with some woman who could have been his mother, regarless she was the kind of chick who looked like she spends her afternoons having lunch with friends in between her getting manicures and appointments with her European personal trainer. The guy looked slightly more normal than this dude but not much.
no exactly sure what started the conversation was like but i caught it about half way through and the end went something like this.
Homeless Guy: "what do you mean?"
Woman: "why don't you go out and do something with yourself..get a job"
Homeless Guy: "I'm here every day from 7 till 2"
Woman: "That is just not good enough"
Homeless Guy: "what do you want from me?"
Woman "more than you are doing now"
I have no idea what started this conversation but I've often wondered how you see the same guy sitting on the stoop begging for loose change every day. Seems like the have enough drive to get up and get that done, wonder why they can't translate that into a job......maybe it was because he smelled like urine, but who am i to judge.
Was watching CNN around lunchtime with Bernanke speaking to some press conference and the CNN anchor (some hootchy wearing a brown or maroon blazer) says.
"It's amazing, every time that Paulson or Bernanke speaks the DOW drops another 200 points"
CNN has one of those 24 hour DOW tickers in the corner now, and I noticed that during Bush's press conference it dropped 300 points also.
Story of the week
Richard Fuld, the disgraced head of Lehman Brothers, was punched in the face in the office gym amid the bank's collapse.
