Did you know that that nice fellow, Mr. Krugman, writes in his NY Times blog based on what they say? They do talk to you, too; you just have to listen. Muffins is doing a superb job in this challenging time."

  13. "It is true...it is. I do often get confused as a former Mouseketeer from the black and white TV days. And, that infernal song just randomly shouted at me - "Do you believe in magic" - like it will jolt my memory. It's quite humorous, however...to mix me up with a place that performs magic."

How can something be alive if it's just filled with gas?' Goddamn, that tickles me! I show that to the Board of Governors every time they seem a little down. It cheers them up right away!"
