Old expressions that need to be revived:
"You have to spend money to make money"


"You are only as good as your word"

5. Love that quote, said to McCarthy at the HUAC hearings
Did you ever see the HBO movie about Roy Cohen? Citizen Cohen I believe. Ironic that RWer actor James Wood played Cohen.

He also played the CEO of Lehman Bros. in Too Big To Fail last month on that made for TV movie. Crudup as Geitner. Hurt as Hank Paulson. Pretty good cast.

6. Never play poker with a guy named "Doc".
Never fuck with the Mafia or the IRS.

8. You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit in to the wind

You don't pull the mask off the Lone Ranger

And you don't mess around with Slim
