  • Want to ReBuild Your Airport? - CALL FRED TESTA

    The best artists solve problems with the fewest brushstrokes. Any city, regional authority, or state or national government that has a rebuild or build out AIRPORT PROJECT should be calling FRED TESTA as the truly proven, Italian-American ''Can Do'' Guy for the job. Fred Testa has proven himself and his abilities on significant Airport Projects, ...

  • We Should Have A “Which” Hunt Instead of A Witch-Hunt

    I told you so. One has to be selective about whom at AIG to direct our “bonus anger”. As “Exhibit A” I give you the resignation letter of Jake DeSantis, an executive vice president of AIG’s Financial Products unit, to AIG president Edward Liddy, which appears as an op-ed in today’s New York Times. Quoting from his letter: “I started at this ...

  • Cramer vs Jon Stewart

    Cramer seems to have forgotten that he did have a rant in, I believe, August of 2007 about the unfolding subprime crisis, and that people should ''look out the window'' and see what was going on. Stewart didn't play that clip. He brought down Crossfire, and now he's targeting CNBC. He got extra irritated, in my opinion, when Rick Santelli didn't ...

  • Book World is worth saving

    Great to know that Mr. Bruce Reed enjoyed Book World – we’re on the same page. But, what Mr. Reed doesn’t seem to appreciate enough is that Book World was more than just a critics soap-box. Every Sunday it printed author signings, literary calendars, and scholarly retrospectives of notable authors. It was a great town square for the writerly life. ...

  • Premature assumptions

    I am rather flabberghasted that the author of this article presumes to know that the future will judge Bush badly. In addition, to dump the current economic downfall only on the shoulders of Bush is naive or purely politically motivated. It is certainly no help to America and Americans to have journalists offering unwarretned and narrow minded ...

  • Good Questions. I Would Like to See Eliot Spitzer a Senator

    Sometimes, you judge a politician by that politician's enemies. Spitzer has all the right enemies, including the ''Masters of the Universe'' on Wall Street, who cheered and toasted his political demise recently, and then promptly threw our American economy ''under the bus.'' Besides, if Bill Clinton can make a political comeback, why not the ...

  • The Big Bailout...Ha!

    There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently? Some seem to think that throwing money at the corporations who failed us is the answer…we all ...

  • 700 Billion No Way Today!

    The most experienced and well educated people at the top levels of these companies got us into this mess. Why then should we expect them to get us out of this mess. Take every CEO and board of directors of these companies and hold them accountable. Many have excess compensation to begin with, stock options, bonus and golden parachutes, to the ...
