Mack the Knife is Back!:
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it … ah … out of sight.
Ya know when that shark bites, with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, though, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there’s nevah, nevah a trace of red.
Now on the sidewalk … uuh, huh … whoo … sunny mornin’ … uuh, huh
Lies a body just oozin' life … eeek!
And someone’s sneakin' ‘round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
A-there's a tugboat … huh, huh, huh … down by the river don’tcha know
Where a cement bag’s just a'droopin' on down
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten old Macky’s back in town.
Now, d'ja hear ‘bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
Now … Jenny Diver … ho, ho … yeah … Sukey Tawdry
Ooh … Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky’s back in town.
Aah … I said Jenny Diver … whoa … Sukey Tawdry
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky’s back in town …
Look out … old Macky is back!!
"Oh don't mind me, I'm just peeking in at the N.Y. Times."
Man, who says there is no happy, upbeat, postive news anymore!!!!!
Every time the Dow climbs the NY Times stock plunges. Hmmmmm.
NooooooOOOOO!!! :)
That gives new meaning to "Mack the Knife"
Hope ya don't mind. I just lifted it. Thanks
Thank you so much. It's been a long time since I've heard Bobby Darin. He was one of the few "stars" I've seen in person. I think I was 16 or so. And he was touring with Count Basie. What a show! What a talent!
LOL - don't mind at all.
More good news. Thanks for the post!
YIKES what a losing enterprise you got there, Pinch.
Add in the Air America Banco.....and I am giddy
Stick a fork in 'em, they're done.
Good grief. Some of the details are even worst than the headlined plunge in profits. The Times says that some of its losses were associated with job cuts and sale of several subsidiary operations, but get this: "At the New York Times Co., 3Q operating profit was down 48%." So operating profits did even worse than total profits, contrary to the earlier spin.
Also note the figures on expenses for newsprint. They are using 11.1% less newsprint, which I suspect correlates with a similar decrease in circulation.
Also, this: "In the third quarter, the Times Co. repurchased 0.7 million Class A shares at a cost of $15.6 million. Approximately $108.2 million remained at the end of the third quarter from the Company's current share repurchase authorization."
In other words, that dreadful declining chart of the price of NYTimes stock would have been MUCH WORSE if they hadn't been buying back many of the shares that stockholders were unloading.
Of course the stock is worthless, anyway, since it has no voting rights. Only Pinch and his family own any of the voting stock.
It just goes to show you that Communism isn't a very good business model, eh?
