CB Richard Ellis Plunders Veterans and Old Ladies
If you like to read about a giant corporation screwing old ladies and retired people who have worked all their lives just to see their life savings go up in smoke, keep reading. [Read More]
Requiem for a Tough Guy
Norman Mailer died around four thirty Saturday morning New York time. Unlike his tumultuous life, his end was very peaceful. I spoke to his oldest son Michael who called me. I met him in the early Sixties during a riotous party in his house in Brooklyn. I was in my twenties.... [Read More]
A Worthy Cause: Israel Funds
Bill Clinton was driving a white pick up and on a muddy path late at night ran over a skunk family trying to cross the road. Hillary screamed at him to stop, which he did. When she went back she found papa skunk and mama skunk very much dead, but baby skunk still alive but barely. She picked it up and got inside the car. Bill faked compassion.... [Read More]
The Haughty Polloi
Henry Ford II, as he styled himself, was a slob without manners or charm, but I am told he was a terrific businessman. I used to date his daughters so I got to see him quite often. He once goosed my first wife and I grabbed him... [Read More]
Unnatural Arts and Sports
I’m not a ballet fan, although I admire like hell the pain these poor guys and gals have to go though to reach the top. Pop stars have it easy. All they have to do is write some very bad lyrics or make some horrible noise and presto, they get laid a lot and make millions upon millions. Their success makes inherited wealth moral by comparison. [Read More]
Bloomberg: New York’s Nibelung

Taki Gets Spiked
Libel laws are supposedly not as strict as they used to be, but don’t you believe it. For example, and I will not mention politically incorrect things one was permitted to write in jest back then. When Liberace died of AIDS, I wrote “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust..." [Read More]
Jeffrey Epstein, Pervert
Once, walking down my street towards the park, we came face to face and I refused to give way and bumped into him. He protested. "In the past, people like you would get off the sidewalk for people like me under the penalty of death..." said I, evoking a Samurai custom. He was appalled but there was nothing he could do, as he had stepped out without his heavies. [Read More]
D’Annunzio, Mussolini, and the Fate of Empires
D'Annunzio's sexual gymnastics did not help his reputation with literary critics, who passed moral judgements instead of assessing his work. He was an obvious target for irony, especially by Anglo-Saxons, such was his flamboyance as well as his physical appearance. (He lost an eye in World War I). [Read More]
Electrolysis and Peroxide Blondes
I simply can’t understand why so many Greek women resemble Scandinavians. Everywhere I look there are blondes, fat blondes, short blondes, hairy blondes, but nevertheless blondes. Could it be the carbon dioxide emissions that causes this phenomenon, or is there something in the water that turns dark-haired women into fair ones? I suppose we’ll never find out. Never mind. Greek ladies are hot-blooded, whereas Northern types have been known to snore at the wrong moment. [Read More]
