Settling

Two days after Super Duper Tuesday, two days after Romney said, "People thought it would be all done tonight … it's not all done. We're going to win this thing”, he has dropped out. I’m actually mourning this loss in my little ways. He was fun to pretend to cheer for, mostly because he is just so gosh-darned good looking … and it was fun to poke fun at his mysterious undergarments and the notion that he didn’t drink coffee, tea or alcohol. But having lived in Massachusetts for much of his reign as governor, I kind of liked him. He did well in Massachusetts, at least on the matters I cared about – human rights, mostly. Oh well. I’ll buy a t-shirt or something to commemorate what could’ve (never) been.

That said, let’s turn our attention to Heath Ledger. Yesterday it was made official that he died accidentally, having taken a deadly combination of prescription drugs. Now that that’s been cleared, something else has popped up: his rental (whose address has been ingrained into many a memory: 421 Broome Street) is up for grabs! Won’t this guy ever get a break!? Not only did Corcoran jack up the monthly rental to $25,000, $3000 more than the great late paid, but they added this fine gem to the listing: "You don't wait around in a hot rental market like this." Of course not … the first one to make the winning bid can catch his dead skin particles, still settling.
