Bob Dylan In Plagiarism Row Over Paintings.

Ode to Dylan 
New Positively 4th Street

You got a lotta nerve
To say I copied anybody
When I was drawing
You just stood there grinning

You got a lotta nerve
To say you I'm another Richard Prince
You just want to be on
The side that's winning

You say I let you down
I'm just a plagiarist MoFo
If you're so hurt
Why then don't not go to my show.

Ghostbusters Firehouse On The Chopping Block

20 firehouses in New York City are threatened with closings.

One of the most well known is the Ghostbusters firehouse that serves lower Manhattan. 

Local officials have led numerous protests before June 3. But on that day there was a protest march led by the firefighters themselves and their unions. 

With each closing the chance of someone in the city losing their life because of delay in fighting a fire will increase. 

Some have suggested that Mayor Bloomberg could save some of the firehouses by minimizing the number of private contracts for jobs that city workers could do for a lower cost.

But as of today it seems that the Stay Puft man will have to go and smile no more.

All I ask 

is a chance to prove that money 

can't make me happy.

********************  

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a  

whole  box to start a campfire?

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

Gasoline Coupons

Overlooked Gas Coupons


I  didn't realize it, but these coupons are good for one  gallon of gas at most retailers.

I have seen them around, but until  recently never took advantage of them, I never realized  their actual worth.

You  probably have one or two just lying around somewhere.

Now is the time to use them before  they lose their value, and it's too  late!!
