We're all doomed
In today's Daily News, reporter Dana Bartholomew reveals that even new high-rises that are built to code could face destruction in a massive earthquake.
There's some debate about how to apply a simulation across a wide variety of structural shapes and designs, but one thing is made clear: my Precious Moments collection is living on borrowed time.
Columnist Bridget Johnson ponders the '08 Republican nominee for president in her most recent column. She mentions some front runners, and though I'm a Democrat, I have a helpful suggestion. What about the Monopoly guy?
He's instantly recognizable, will test well across age groups, and signals a return to an emphasis on economic health (OK, he's a robber baron, but I'd take him over Jeb any day).
Best of all, he can buy up Iraq, build a few hotels, and turn the place around. If he messes up things too badly, he's just a bad move away from being sent to jail.

Just think ... if the Monopoly guy messes things up in Iraq, he can claim he worked for Halliburton.
DO NOT PASS GO, BUT STILL COLLECT $200 ... MILLION.

What if the Democrats end up running a ticket of the thimble and the iron? You know, kind of a workers' ticket. I can see the bumper sticker now: Thimble/Iron '08 -- Stiching and pressing for America
