Remember the police commissioner candidate who Guliani supported for head of Homeland Security? Guliani may be politically savay, but he is not very deep.
This is a wanna be president without the ability.
Ted Cruz has what it takes.The only one on either left or right in the political spectrum.
Vaguely.
Name will eventually come to mind.
And I’ll probably be fuming mad over it again.
Yes, he was and he would've been elected President in '08 had his campaign not fallen apart. I still believe he was the only Republican running who could've beaten Obama that year.
My question is: Why is he talking to Dope-rah?
In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Rudy Giuliani: Mafia Offered $800G to Kill Me, stanne wrote:
I always use G, and wonder while doing so. Is it a NY thing, like Kwaffee?
It’s not a New York thing and the expression was in common usage.
“G”=grand = a thousand (”bucks) dollar bill was commonly used before the advent of computer age instead of todays “K”. As well as a “C” note = century” a $100 bill, And six bits was .75 cents and two bits =.25 cents. Way back when a “bit” was .12.5 cents. Which goes way back when a “mill” was a 10th of a cent and worth something still seen today on gas pumps.
"G" is just old-school, pre-computer, pre-internet era. "G" as in "grand". I always liked the term, but then I'm old school too.
According to his inflation calculator:

What cost $800,000 in 1990 would cost $1,384,023.47 in 2012.
Old. Ok. As I wake up feeling just beaten up but it’s just from making pie crust old is the word
My cousin came up with ‘large’. His sister and I were trying to figure it out doing the math. He was helping a particular movie star as he does in his work and she tipped him ‘5 large’
It’s a big tip just for driving her around. A C note? Or a grand?
I think G was used for grand as in 1000.
But since we have gone partially metric, K is for Kilo gram or 1000 grams so K is being used in the metric system, while I guess G could be used as in “the english system”.
