Confession: Of late I have developed a clearly unhealthy interest in the gustatory experiences of Bernie-- Yes, I Madoff With Your Dough, Especially If You Are Jewish and Trusted Me--Madoff, currently confined to a tiny holding cell in New York City. I read that the first night in the slammer he was served refried chicken and CANNED string beans on a styrofoam plate.
Quel horreur !
Aside from the fact that Bernie is bad, and that he betrayed the trust of so many, he has not been a canned string bean man since summer camp in the Catskills 60 years ago. When was the last such bean you tasted? ( Not the dilly beans you pickled and canned yourself!)
Now were there some decent olive oil, fresh black pepper, and a tad of seasoned vinegar available, perhaps in a cruet perched over the urinal, Bernie could bring those beans some life.
The man apparently has no reading material, no paper and pen..........and nothing to eat. OK, better than the dirt, salt and veggie shortening that many of the poorest Haitians are turning into mud patties and eating. No question.
A world in which mega-luxury types have yachts dotted about the world's briny, while their fellow humans eat dirt--ain't it amazing?
Still--the Bernie thing fascinates. What is Ruth Madoff eating? Has she an appetite? Why hasn't she vamoosed long-since to Namibia, a nation with which the USA has no extradition treaty? It's a democracy, was once a German colony---am I seeing a skewed/perverse poetic justice in that?-- and its people are not reduced to mud pie eating.
I belive its Very true. There is nothing more annoying than unsolicited advice. If a person isn’t asking you for help or advice, it’s none of your business to intrude.I totally agree with you.

Yeah, went there this morning and checked the date beacause I thought you had advance knowledge.
Made it my priority reading ( tongue firmly in cheek )and decided it could not happen to a nicer man.
Now on to the rest of the crooks.

Can't be Huff Post only. I scour it daily- even before NYT ,WaPo, Der Spiegel and Sueddeutsche. Got my priorities right.

How do you know about Bernies food, recreation, reading, furnishings??? You must be one of the lucky ones watching NEWS on American TV channels.
Fortunately/unfortunately I can only google the papers. Nothing like that there.
Do tell.
