George Soros, one of the world's wealthiest financiers and philanthropists, has declared that getting George Bush out of the White House has become the "central focus" of his life, and he has put more than $15m (£9m) of his own money where his mouth is.

"That special something is the Blue Moon, an eight-story, 22-suite hotel that Settenbrino hopes will honor the soul of the building and the neighborhood’s immigrant past by retaining the original tenement’s facade and fire escape design, and mixing elements of the old interior with simple, luxurious rooms that have a period feel. On the ground floor, Settenbrino is even planning a kosher restaurant specializing in immigrant fare (complete with takeout window to lure the neighborhood’s younger, cooking-impaired residents)."

finds:
like learning that nyc is full of schist, giant garnets can and are found, as they move it around

me top 3:
one was amsterdam in 1981, would have been nice kabul 1975, but this city was so amazing to me, like the crossroads of the crossroads, the jacket i bought there ruined by touring could be today a museaum piece, but i still have a burial piece from a low caste egyptian, cool, and the memory of that town, grateful dead playing in a hash bar, milk trucks del'n herion to adicts, shops that sold stuff that make ABC look like pottery barn.....

two was 1983 living on this island on lake atitlan funny site to me this atitlan.com, hotels on atitlan?? long before tourism, i was there when the first "road" was built, everyone was "excited" this machine was coming, a boat droped off a "steam roller" that made a road, it cut a strata into the island's maya civalization, i only kept a quetal head and a spear-tip, we could have opened a store in amsterdam on what was available

three was atlantic ave 2003, linda and i found a piece that inho s/b returned somewhere, i have never seen a piece like this, a real temple object, maybe linda, ryley and i will drop it somewhere?? would it not be correct that every object be returned to its original spot, lets start all over, try our best to re-create the begining..... find life!! love it!! its goes away to be re-found by fools like me/us....:>)

"The wounded get dumped at home and soon forgotten. But you're right about the antiseptic nature of coverage. There was a story by Dana Milbank recently in the Washington Post that the Pentagon is not going to allow news coverage and photography of dead soldiers' homecoming on military bases. Show 'em marching off to war but make damned sure we don't see 'em coming back in pieces. It's the Barbara Bush syndrome as official policy. Remember what she told Diane Sawyer earlier this year. "Why should we hear about body bags, and deaths … Why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that …" No wonder her son is the only president in our time who has not attended any memorials or funerals for soldiers killed in action on his watch."

NYTimes editorial subhead: "The return of riders to the Staten Island ferry on Thursday morning was a testament to the resilience of Staten Islanders." I guess that's true if by resilient they mean "broke," "overextended," and/or "working for heartless employers." (As many people are these days--hello? NYTimes?)
