The End of the Housing Crisis in 2012
The Real Estate industry is gleefully touting the End of the Housing Crisis in 2012. Here is my letter to an industry publication:
To the editor:
As a broker of 15+ years in New York City, this article is the sort of thing that makes me frustrated with, and ashamed… Read full post »Obama condemns the violence, but won't name the criminal
The New York Times, in its front page story (underneath the one about unemployment ostensibly decreasing) reports that 12 innocent people have been killed - so far - in the violence related to "Pastor" Terry Jones's leading a mock trial and Koran burning at his Dove World Outreach center in Gainesvil… Read full post »
What's the agenda in Lybia?
If the United States were interested in forcing Gadhafi to step down, wouldn't it be more humane to send in an operative to take him out? Isn't one brutal dictator dead better than potentially thousands of innocents?
Or is this another blood donation from the American middle class into the vampire… Read full post »

Last night I met with one of the top mortgage… Read full post »
So the banking industry is paying us back? Really?
Since yesterday, I've received 2 phone calls from the democratic party, and 2 emails from MoveOn.org. These fervent volunteers want either my money or my vote. On the money front, I've been out of work for all intents and purposes since Lehmann Brothers died, along with the residential real estate ma… Read full post »
In support of Howard Dean: a letter to the President
Dear President, As a lover and student of history, I have a better idea than most Americans of the difficulty in passing meaningful healthcare reform. As an American who has worked abroad and lived under a universal healthcare system, I realize that healthcare reform is doomed as long… Read full post »
Penseé on the lies our parents told us
I remember the phone calls when some child in our sphere came down with chickenpox. The rotaries on the phones would spin as mother dialed mother, making arrangements - not to keep their darlings away from the infected child - but to visit! Unless some huge family event was looming, every… Read full post »
