BARBARA'S TCHATZKAHS

This article is right on! Despite moving from Astoria almost 7 years ago, I still shop there - one of my children's schools is there, my children's doctors and dentist is there. I spent a week in the hospital there last January. I have friends there. I belong to WHY LEAVE ASTORIA and ASTORIANS for news and opinions on local businesses, which I support. Astoria has some recent additions in the form of world class restaurants - places which I gladly take my children! Just today I went to a small store that's only open a few days a week - and showcases the work of local Astoria artists. I went to pick out a nice birthday gift for one of my dearest friends and took one of my kids with me to help. I circled the block for 20 mins looking for parking, since I am disabled and can't walk very far many days. When I came out, I had to climb over poorly removed snow while a ticketing agent stood tapping his ticket machine by my car. My disabled placard tag was clearly pla...

FROM: Pauline Lewis, Human Resources Director TO: All Employees DATE: 4 November 2009 RE: Christmas Party I’m happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place on December 23rd, starting at noon in the private function room at the Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks! We’ll have a small band playing traditional carols …. please feel free to sing along. And don’t be surprised if the MD shows up dressed as Santa Claus! A Christmas tree will be lit at 1:00pm. Exchange of gifts among employees can be done at that time; however, no gift should be over $10.00 to make the giving of gifts easy for everyone’s pockets. This gathering is only for employees! The MD will make a special announcement at the Party. Merry Christmas to you and your Family.

Obambi: Nominated after ONE MONTH in office. Now in the great company of Jimmy Carter and Yasser Arafat. My esophageal ulcer can't take much more vomiting today. But then I read this... enjoy! Wow. What I can I say. Wow. I'm honored. Clearly Big Guy - who can't stop dancing on the bed up in the residence right now, by the way - won this award for his speeches. I mean, after nominating himself for the Nobel Prize for Peace two weeks after entering the office of the Presidency, let's face it, it isn't like he had anything to show for it. He said if he'd known it was this easy to win a Nobel, he would have nominated himself for the Nobel Prize for Literature years ago for his 5th Grade essay on "Raisin the Sun" ( of course, he would have had to share that prize with Billy Ayers) . Or his yeast science project from 7th grade for the Nobel Prize for chemistry. There's so much to do now before the awards ceremony in Oslo. I'm going to have to buy a ...

From the FOREVER GREAT, INCOMPARABLE Uppity Woman : No kidding. You can’t make this shit up. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal government sent about 3,900 economic stimulus payments of $250 each this spring to people who were in no position to use the money to help stimulate the economy: prison inmates. In addition to paying for the food, lodging and weight room for some of Americas most vile subhumans, you will be happy to know you helped them out with stimulus checks so that they can purchase their cigarettes and drugs and keep that old prison economy running smoothly. Prison inmates are generally ineligible for federal benefits. However, 2,200 of the inmates who received checks got to keep them because, under the law, they were eligible, said Mark Lassiter, a spokesman for the Social Security Administration. They were eligible because they weren’t incarcerated in any one of the three months before the recovery package was enacted. “The law specified that any beneficiary eligibl...

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS RUNNING AMOK! This article was the first good laugh I had all week (aside from my child putting a princess crown gently on a friend's cat and the cat sitting still for it!) What the heck is wrong with us? We can't talk, walk or breathe without offending someone? Give me a break! I live in NYC so I thought my name was changed to "YO" for a while there. Was I offended? No! Enjoy: Halle Berry Said "JEWISH!" Is She out of her Half-Black Mind?! by Michael Seitzman "If you watch the clip, you can see Halle saying the word Jewish....[she] should be ashamed of herself!" I'm not sure who is a bigger douche, the Leno audience member who said that, or Richard Johnson, who quoted her on Page Six, under the headline , "Berry Nose Better Than That." Are we really such a nation of pussies now? Someone says the word Jewish and we call 9-1-1? Excuse me, but my tribe has been run down by every small-dick thug since cro-mag...
