Elizabeth Crowley is a Democrat. Her cousin Joe is a Congressman and the Queens county Democratic chairman.
To the photo: Hear, hear!
The photo reminds me of Bruce Cost, who points out that pork bellies are traded on international commodities markets "like gold."

As a BE college basketball fan, I can say without reservation that I may be Jim Calhoun's least-est fan. Only Boeheim takes a backseat to Calhoun in my book of the damned. Calhoun has stomped on my heart more times than I care to count. That being said, I will quote the coach himself:
"All I thought was how do we defeat this,'' Calhoun said. "I love my family, I love my life, I love my kids. I love what I do.''
Skin cancer is a potentially and often fatal disease. Sports rivalries are peanuts in comparison; and sports are useless without worthwhile competitors worthy of one's respect. Get well Coach Calhoun. Hoya Saxa Pax.
That mailman got George Costanza'd in my opinion. That upper westie sent a romantic snail mail to a fellow tenant, realized that he came off like Jon Favreau leaving that answering machine message in Swingers and tried to destroy his future humiliation.
