  1. Perhaps, after a year or so, if the Canadian company Brookfield is unable to manage US based mall properties, Simon might consider making a purchase at $6 billion instead of $10 billion. Perhaps it will be a bargin for Simon, but, sadly, a loss for GGP shareholders.

  2. Must be a SLOW news day; I've seen this story umpteen times already this year at other outlets, not to mention it's been covered for a number of consecutive years when March Madness heats up.

  3. Why is it that ride buying foreigners (displacing good Americans), once a pillar of the IRL mission, is now OK and accepted by the IRL place fans?

    I'm willing to bet the IRL could change it's name to "CART" and Indyman would be there to carry the helmet bag for them. Sir, you are getting closer and closer to having nothing to cling to. You hatred for CART is akin to beating the dead horse. Though, now that the horse is the IRL you're in love with the limp rotting carcass.

  4. All FACTS, my good conspiracy theorist.

    IF the IRL was transparent they'd crow about the rating, good or bad. They just SPIN and REVISE anything they can. That's called not having to admit they've done anything wrong...see, that's why ANgstadt only wants to focus on the future too.

    Kinda like killing someone and acting like it never happened...and only wanting to talk about the future. Sound familiar? IRL...

  5. Attended an Oscar party hosted by the Indianapolis International Film Festival. It was located at Forty-Five Degrees on Mass Ave, and although the broadcast was standard award show, the night was fun with silent auction and free sushi! The dj played over commercials with previous oscar-winning music/soundtracks, and there were raffle prizes drawn. About 150 people were there. Fun night!
