next ...as Canada Bill Jones said, "It's immoral to let a sucker keep his money." Matt Damon (Mike) Rounders    Trump called me again last night. We agreed to meet up for an early breakfast at the diner on the southwest corner of Kingsbridge Road and Jerome Avenue.    When I got there at six in the morning he was sitting in a booth sipping coffee and ogling one of the waitresses.    So I sat down and asked him how he was feeling, because he had told me a little bit about what happened the day before in Prospect Park.   I didn't ask him what he was doing in Prospect Park and he didn't volunteer anything either.   Trump actually had a written list of questions for me.

There was no bottom.” The Stranger in The Big Lebowski     One thing no taxi driver wants to do  is fall asleep behind the wheel while the car he's sitting in is moving.     It's  something that Julius What's His Name had done once before. It was around 3:30    on an August Wednesday morning. He was heading back to the garage a little bit early because he was pretty tired. He had actually pulled over  by Madison Square Park on Madison Avenue where 24th Street would have been if they hadn't put a park there. He got in the backseat after locking the front doors, curled up  and tried to sleep without any luck. He got back in the driver's seat and scooted up to 54th Street where there's an all-night deli. Julius got himself a large cup of coffee, gulped...
