Where's my money mang?


People these days, they want their pay in full huh

boston - Governor Deval Patrick’s administration, taking a hard line on the proposed tribal casino in Fall River, said yesterday it will demand repayment of nearly $35 million in taxpayer funds for a highway ramp off Route 24 if the city builds a gaming complex there instead of a long-planned biotechnology park.


The ultimatum reveals the administration’s dissatisfaction with Fall River officials, who over the past several years persuaded the state to invest more than $50 million in road improvements and other upgrades for a planned “BioPark’’ — only to see those city officials on Monday instead endorse construction of a casino on the site. Patrick’s top economic aide, Gregory Bialecki, said his office was not briefed on the casino proposal before the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe unveiled it.

“If it turns out this parcel is going to be developed as a casino, we expect to be repaid for any public dollars spent on the infrastructure,’’ Bialecki said. He said the admin istration was not angered by the casino proposal, but that it believes developers should pay for upgrades to support construction of gaming facilities, not the public. Construction of the ramp is underway.
My advice: pay for the on-ramp before people start getting whacked. I've seen it happen.

Throw some t's on that bitch


As some of you may have already noticed, the world and Europe are fucking up. The Europeans stock market really fucked up the other day but luckily for them the world was there to bail their asses out again (WWII, your welcome)


yahoo - Stocks rocketed higher Monday after European leaders agreed to a nearly $1 trillion rescue plan to avoid a major debt crisis and the U.S. Federal Reserve said it would also provide loans overseas.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose about 400 points. The Dow and broader stock indexes rose more than 3 percent. Markets also barreled higher in Europe.
Interest rates rose in the bond market after demand for Treasurys fell.
The 16 countries that use the euro and the International Monetary Fund have agreed to create a nearly $1 trillion rescue fund to support European nations burdened by heavy debt. Markets around the world plummeted last week as fears escalated that Greece's debt problems would spread throughout Europe and upend a global economic recovery.

Problem: solved.

SPEEEEDIN


AquaView- Sir Richard Branson billionaire Entrepreneur, recently showed yet again his extravagant side with the unveiling of his new aero submarine christened the “Necker Nymph” which is unlike anything else in the world. Branson, who already owns a mobile phone company, a record label, an airline, a Caribbean island, space travel and a handful of luxury restaurants just added one more frontier to his portfolio- The Sea!

The 3-seater submersible built in the likeness of a fighter plane, uses the same principles of flight through air underwater. The Necker Nymph that runs on battery that’s so quiet it just glides through the water with very low noise emissions and low light to avoid interfering with fragile ecosystems. It has an open cockpit and passengers use scuba gear, stored in the craft which can dive to depths of up to 130ft. The unique submersible cost around 415,000 British pounds and the billionaire has lofty aspirations to eventually create a plane that explore depths of 35,000 feet. Designed by Hawkes Ocean Technologies, the Necker Nymph is the first underwater plane to ever be designed and an entirely new class of vehicle.

Man this Branson guy knows how to throw money around on awesome shit. I want a space plane and a underwater speedin whip. Guess I'll just have to work even harder on this blog. Or you could donate. Or I could rob you - either way is ok with me, maybe not so much with you.

Or you could watch some of my full length feature films.....Granted whatever Branson makes it's gonna be awesome. Like the "Deep Search".

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go on an overnight drunk, and in 10 days I'm going to set out to find the shark that ate my friend and destroy it. Anyone who wants to tag along is more than welcome.
