Carlos Slim is Lebanese. He’s done very well in Mexico, though, and is your typical left-wing ultra-rich guy.

[mojito]

Shameless toadying, thy name is Pinch.

The Sus move, canning sportswriters..makes NO sense..that’s one of the only remaining reasons that people still have to buy & read the local newspaper..in depth coverage of local sports teams. I loathe the Globe, but as a life-long Red Sawx fan...Globe sports on the net is a must read for me every morning..

[ozzymandus]

Hey Pinch, if Carlos is sooo altruistic, why’s he charging you credit card interest?

[Billthedrill]

Uh, Pinch? I get a better rate on my credit cards. All of them. And you're in the bag to this guy for a cool quarter billion buckadingdongs. Apparently somebody on the Board at the NY Times thought this was a good deal. And these guys have the nerve to act superior toward AIG and Enron!

With all his money, what kind of hairdo is that? Maybe Caroline liked it that way. Creepy.

Thinks never turn out good when you borrow money from a guy named Slim.

HA!!

Maybe ol' Slim used a toothy blond to trick Pinchy into signing on to the % rate? :o)
