An American Statesman Retires
(2008-08-30 at 20:37:30 )

I was on a # 51 MTA bus this morning traveling on Bay Street when I looked out
of the window and realized that the abandoned van has been removed from the
parking lot outside of One Edgewater Plaza. It only sat there for two years!!

I will now have to being looking for a different sterling example of the total
incompetence of the Government Bureaucracy upon Staten Island.

When I got home I was greeted with some heartbreaking news upon my computer!!

After a stay in the hospital; Journalist Charley Reese has retired!! His final
column, is entitled " Goodbye " http://www.lewrockwell.com/reese/reese493.html

To me Mr. Reese is a " Statesman of the Highest Order " truly America will be
a lesser country without Mr. Reese's profoundly logical perceptions appearing
in print on the Internet.

I Hope and Pray that Mr. Reese is blessed with Joy and Serenity in this new
phase of his life. I surely will miss reading his excellent writing!!
