The recent Rockefeller Institute study detailing how Downstate New York subsidizes Upstate New York was old news. Rockefeller confirmed what a 2010 Buffalo State College Center for Economic and Policy Studies paper reported, which in turn amplified a 2004 report from the Center for Government Research in Rochester, to wit: Upstate takes in a whole lot more tax dollars than Upstate sends in to Albany.

The year 2011 will be remembered as the time when many ever-optimistic Americans began to give up hope. President John F. Kennedy once said that a rising tide lifts all boats. But now, in the receding tide, Americans are beginning to see not only that those with taller masts had been lifted far higher, but also that many of the smaller boats had been dashed to pieces in their wake.

Back in the olden days of the reincarnation of Mini (who still insist on all uppercase MINI-ing, but I’ll pass. Go ahead, call the Mini police), there was…the Mini. That was all you needed to say, because back when the first BMW-produced Mini rolled off the assembly line for model year 2001, there was just the one body style, a two-door, five-passenger hatchback.

I have a friend who’s constantly asking for my opinion on things. Fine. This is what friends do. But she asks me about everything. What should I wear? Should I do this or that? What should I have for lunch? Dinner? She texts me all the time with this stuff, and it’s becoming too much. Like, 10 texts a day, minimum.
