Imagine moving to some other society and finding that your name is the punch line to a dirty joke!<br /><br />As for Odato, Alan, you read him closely so maybe you're right, but, in this day and age, don't immediately presume an agenda. It may instead just be a willingness, even a feeling of duty that one must turn every story into a he-said-she-said because finding facts and the context is just too damned hard. You can't sell any papers if you don't raise any eyebrows.steve in nchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04061356872686618093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-46545221185654793062010-08-18T15:28:10.821-04:002010-08-18T15:28:10.821-04:00Malaysian investors affiliated with Genting and G....Malaysian investors affiliated with Genting and G.

He still carries a chip on his shoulder despite the fact that his lawsuits against them were successful. <br /><br /> So, why doesn't Jerry Moss take a shot at Jackson by shipping Z east to the Spa? They all look for the easiest path to an Eclipse and HOY, avoiding all chances that their tigers will lose a big race. <br /><br />Has NYRA given up trying to entice Moss to ship east? Why not give it another shot, what have you got to lose? Charlie could be on a plane today to make a quick visit and sales call on Moss & Shirreffs at Del Mar. /S/greenmtnpunterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
