This is the new Shea Staidum, Citi Field , home of those Amazing Mets.
CITI Field... as in Citi bank. Citi bank ... as in THREE HUNDRED BILLION bail out Citi bank. See the connection? Let's dig a little deeper.
Just this week, a big Chicago bank, Northern Trust, got a spanky for being the last in a long line of these Masters of the Universe types who are still living life like its 2008 with their golf trips and sea weed scrubs. This Northern Trust threw its self a big ole ATTABOY party, hired the king of Columbia Record Club band CHICAGO to play the party, etc. Not real smart Mr. Banker , at least hire some ABBA cover band and not CHICAGO....
Northern Trust got 1.6 billion dollars in bailout.. a drop in the bucket compared to the big boys, BUT, the powers that be in DC, Barney and his pals, are NOW deciding to hold the New and Lingwood oxford covered feet to the fire . Make Northern Trust pay back the money for swilling mojitos and dancing the night away to " Does anybody really know what time it is"... even if this party cost 1 million dollars or so, that is not THAT much money....
Citi Bank is paying...... 400 Million ( !!! ) to get the rights to CITI Field. Now , I do not know if Congressman Frank is a baseball fan. If he is, I am sure he is a REDSOX fan.. so he may LIKE the Mets. But if people are going a little crazy over a party, are things looking ok for the Mets? Do the American people who are NOT in the tri-state area want to own a ball field for four hundred million dollars?
This time of year, it's all about baseball , readers. It gets us snow bound folks over the end of Winter and Mud Season....
