We have our work cut out for us, all right. The trouble is that our corrupt

scheme of things. Our guys think that a new cabin cruiser, season Jets
tickets, and a couple of bimbos serving drinks in the luxury suites at
Yankee Stadium is living in corrupt luxury.

What we need is politicians who know what they can command in the
marketplace. Maybe we can get them some help from MLB players' agents.

I never thought I'd see the day when joisey was only getting a dishonorable mention. What
happened? I know my uncle Marty died but he was only small time so his passing didn't
really reduce joisey's ranking.

I fondly remember getting a couple fishing reels for my birthday when I as a kid, Aunt Sue
stared at Marty and asked if they were hot.

And to top it off, Lautenburg got trimmed by Madoff. Sheesh.

It was like the car industry. Too many years of growing complacent, without
any serious competition.

Lead poisoning?

There's a silver lining in every cloud.

It's not so bad except for the spell between the end of the blackfish season
and the first mayfly hatch.

I'm not sure but it seemed like every time we visited grandma uncle marty told us not to
let anyone he was home. I'm sure he was fearing lead poisoning. Sure made a stay at
grandma's interesting ;)

Are your waters safe to eat catch from? We still have mercury warnings for the great
lakes. Hasn't killed me yet.

Yeah, they're reasonably OK, but there are certain fish you have to limit.
The top-of-the-foodchain bluefish, tuna, and striped bass are not supposed
to be eaten too often -- once a week, or something like that.

Some of our freshwater is perfectly OK and other spots are not. I don't eat
stocked trout and I don't often eat the warmwater species.
