A few questions about the Occupy Wall Street protesters: Given the price of tickets, why aren't they occupying ballparks and concert halls? If they stormed a gridiron, would they suffer the same fate as the cretin who long ago dared to interrupt a Colts game and was blind-sided by MLB Mike Curtis? I hope they try, just to see what would happen. Given the cost of college and the silly modern curricula, why aren't they occupying the administration buildings of so-called higher learning? Given that Washington DC, according to an editorial in today's New York Post, now has the highest average pay, $126,000, of any major metropolitan area, why aren't they occupying Congress? Given that many of Apple's products are made in China, why do so many of protesters have them? Shouldn't they be destroying them or occupying Apple's headquarters until those jobs are returned to America? It seems they practice selective outrage.
I'm slogging through round three of the editing of Bob Rubenstein's The White Bridge. I should finish by the end of the month. His next book has a great title: Howdy Doody and the Atomic Bomb. His dream is to have all three of his books available in one 1000 page volume. As soon as I finish the job, I will work on getting my best work, Killing, on Kindle. Steve, the poet laureate of Sheepshead Bay, may post an excerpt on his website:

I hope it doesn't get him in trouble with the left, although the excerpt will be neutral politcally. If you are thinking of checking out the site, be warned - the writers are on a higher intellectual level than the rest of us.
Thanks to the young women of color, who purchased another handful of novels, stocking up for winter. An elderly woman dropped off three thrillers, and a perfectly-groomed Russian woman donated a mix of paperbacks and pristine hardcovers, and was even nice enough to buy John Grisham's The Summons and Michael Connelly's Echo Park. I wanted her to have them gratis, but she wouldn't hear of it. I assume she does not lack for cash. Even casually dressed she looked like money. Herbie came by minutes later and bought three of those books. Thanks, buddy.
