Blame Clinton.

You are obviously beholden to the man and too cowering in your own complicity to even understand what an ethical backbone looks like. Of course you are the type of phoney baloney "liberal" who thinks everything will be sunshine and roses when Bush's term ends in January 2009-as if that will happen without a fight.

Your resounding endorsement has caused me to reconsider my position.

I think you're right, Hank. The BPF is likely Penske, but I'd bet this one is Slave.

Wow. It was that low? He might've been fired, then, simply for the horrible ROI on all the yard signs they invested in. From my anecdotal review during my commute, they appeared to be everywhere.

I don't know but isn't this a lot to do in seven months:

· Concentrated on retail chain rollouts (purchase and sale agreements, ground leases and retail leases).

· Represented real estate owners, for-profit and nonprofit developers, institutional investors, high net worth individuals and real estate investment companies in complex real estate transactions, including the acquisition, financing, development, leasing and sale of shopping centers, mixed-use and luxury residential sale projects.

· Drafted, reviewed and negotiated easements, loan documents, deeds, bills of sale, assignment and assumption agreements, property management agreements, legal opinions, leases, and entity formation documents including operating agreements, limited partnership agreements and bylaws; reviewed land surveys and title documentation.

· Counseled clients regarding related risks and mitigation strategies; supervised junior associates.

I mean wouldn't one "acquisition of a shopping center" take seven months? (It would with ME on that deal. Heh.) And then, you still have to figure in a side trip to Mehico to steal socks. But then I guess it isn't that far seeing he's in California and all.

He's all over the internet, and if he doesn't want people speculating over his job status, he wouldn't post his resume in the public domain. He (according to gatti) blanketed Santa Monica with yard signs. And he ran for office. THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW!

Spencer Ackerman reads George Tenet's book so that Hank doesn't have to:

• Tenet is absolutely right about a central claim in the book: The intelligence wasn't determinative of the war. The Bush administration opted to invade Iraq because of a mélange of strategic reasons, for which the public case about weapons of mass destruction was merely, in Paul Wolfowitz's words, "the one issue that everyone could agree on." The proper word for this is "deceit."

The acquisition of a small shopping center (say 200,000 square feet or less, with one anchor tenant) can easily be handled, soup to nuts, including entity formation and loan documents, by a single competent real estate associate in less than 300 total hours. This assumes a professionally-run real estate operating company client using off the rack corporate documents and a lender with an ongoing relationship with the operating company (i.e., the typical situation for clients buying smaller shopping centers). Throw in a couple of leases (extensions or renewals included) and add maybe 50 hours. One could handle 4 of these in 7 months without any help; add a junior associate to do the monkey work, and twice or three-times as many would be realistic.

Force de frappe indeed.

Not even the all-purpose "Weee are not amused"?

But I've seen that look before, in a nursing home from the random old lady in the hallway who thinks you might be someone who did them wrong back in 1923. They hate you, but they can't really be sure why.

This is just too much information about shopping center transactions and I needed coffee mid-read, thank you. Anyhow, the point is -- look at the resume big picture. He's waxing poetic (and in detail) about his employment at a job he was at for only 7 months. Figure the first month of learning the phones, computers, which secretaries put out and which partners to avoid, and then take off a month at the end of the 7 months for whatever bullshit went down to end the employment and now you have 5 months at a job. I think a sentence or two should suffice on a resume for that stint.

Oh, c'mon. He doesn't look that old.

His resume reads like one of those overwhelming five page menus at a restuarant that makes everything from gyros to sushi. It's varied as hell, and all shit.

I notice he's soon to be listing the Hair Club for Men on it as well.

I am baffled as to why we kiss her ass the way we do. She's a doddering irrelevant novelty from a shotglass-sized gene pool.
