Kerry does Letterman Top 10.
It sounds like he did a good job, sorry I missed it.
Kerry’s “Top 10 Bush Tax Proposals” are:
10. No estate tax for families with at least two U.S. presidents.
9. W-2 Form is now Dubya-2 Form.
8. Under the simplified tax code, your refund check goes directly to Halliburton.
7. The reduced earned income tax credit is so unfair, it just makes me want to tear out my lustrous, finely groomed hair.
6. Attorney General (John) Ashcroft gets to write off the entire U.S. Constitution.
5. Texas Rangers can take a business loss for trading Sammy Sosa.
4. Eliminate all income taxes; just ask Teresa (Heinz Kerry) to cover the whole damn thing.
3. Cheney can claim Bush as a dependent.
2. Hundred-dollar penalty if you pronounce it “nuclear” instead of “nucular.”
1. George W. Bush gets a deduction for mortgaging our entire future.

Sarah Roosevelt Park. It’s amazingly peaceful considering the construction on Chrystie Street, and the morning rush traffic on Houston Street. Someone was shooting solitary hoop and a few scattered individuals were doing Tai Chi like exercises. In years past it was really shabby and drugged out. I’d walk past as briskly as possible.

| Construction crane. I’ve been trying to get a photo that really conveys the size of this monster for weeks. It often hangs horizontally over Houston Street. If I get far enough away to show the whole crane, all the detail, white against the sky, goes missing in a pixel smush. Earlier in the GammaBlaBlogBrowse: Construction in the GammaBlaBlog |

| The covered walkway, in front of the construction, smells like urinal cake. |
