****NEW YORK CITY SHOWCASE (DESIGNER LINE OF CLOTHING)….see it all at SWELL

****TWO WARS ARE BETTER THAN ONE…. some people die, some people make profits with u.s. army contracts. WAR


****THE GABBY CABBY FIELD OFFICE IN IRAQ (the largest staff of any media office in the middle east)….this week's exclusive true tale is that
iraq is really a crap house where most people are suffering. here is one of their newest shopping malls. the united states army generals who are running this war from florida have much nicer shopping facilities.

****IRAQI KIDS WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THESE PERFECTLY GOOD CHAIRS IN THEIR SCHOOLS….these are being thrown out by the new york city school system just because they are last year’s models.

****DONALD RUMSFELD IS THE DEFENDANT (franklin v. rumsfeld, 06 Civ. 4579)….united states federal court southern district of new york….the judge postponed the trial two times without telling me and the government threatened me and my financial well being so i quit. gabby cabby goes down in flames. thomas jefferson is twirling in his grave.

****a 26-year veteran of the city education department who processed payments for special-needs students created a fictitious child and used her own ailing mother to bilk new york city out of $116,000 over four years.

****A fugitive wanted by federal immigration and customs agents slipped through background checks and got a job making repairs inside the midtown tunnel.

****as many as 14,000 people subjected to strip searches on misdemeanor charges in the 1990s may be entitled to tens of millions of dollars in damages after an appeals court found they should be certified as a class.

****individual pharmacists at some retail chains will get to make the call on whether to personally dispense the newly approved over-the-counter version of the morning-after pill, opening the door for some to restrict its sale on religious grounds.

****spiraling levels of anger, rage and eventually violence are a function of new york’s cumbersome divorce laws, which require one spouse to find fault with the other and thus encourage lawyers to keep the fight going as long as possible, spousal tensions rising all along.


****the number of alleged and substantiated violations by new york city military recruiters increased by more than 50 percent in one year, a rise that may reflect growing pressure to meet wartime recruiting goals, according to a government accountability office report released yesterday.


****OLD TIME RADIO (shows you might be too young to remember)….”luigi” was a fun show about an italian who came to the
united states. it would not be considered politically correct today. THE PAST

****THE SNEAKY CAMERA (the hidden camera)….a growing collection of new yorkers are unaware that they are being watched by a certain taxi driver. new ones are added from time to time. take a peep at SNEAKY

****YENTA YACK FROM THE BACK OF THE HACK (what they are talking about in the yellow mobile conveyance lounge)….it is just about impossible to get a parking spot in manhattan. each day there are fewer and fewer legal spots and each day there are fewer and fewer parking lots. plan on spending sixty bucks if you are silly enough to bring in your auto.

****QUIET PLEASE, THIS IS THE LIBRARY (get away from the din of life)…. gael greene, a noted restaurant critic, has written “tales from a life of delicious excess” published by warner books. she surely agrees with our thought that the biggest danger you have in coming to new york city is that you are going to get fat.

****THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY (what the media didn't tell you)....just about everything that is being sold in new york city on the streets is made in china. they are illegal imports and the selling of the items is illegal. almost all of items are counterfeits.

****THE EARL THEATER (it used to be on 161st street in the bronx. new york city has lots of rich people, but it has many more people living in slums thanks to the inaction of the city government and crooked landlords. SLUM

****THE HEY ABBOTT AWARD (an epistle about life)....nope, this is not lebanon. this is new york city and people are actually living in these quarters. mayor bloomberg has a private jet and as he flies here and there, we wonder if he ever looks down on the big apple.


****STOP THE MUSIC (do you know what tv show this theme came from?)….this sheriff had a deputy who had a limp. TV
