Any suggestions from NYers on a nice place to go for V-day if you are an idiot and didn’t make a reservation 10 weeks prior?

Another big jobless claims beat.
So this is awesome. Jobless claims keep falling even though Europe’s economies died an America’s was priced at 50/50 recession risk for Q1/Q2 2012.

Conservatives are concerned about Romney
It’s obvious that Romney’s statement that he’s “not concerned about the very poor” is incredibly tone-deaf. A candidate can say he’s “focused” on the middle class without saying he’s “not concerned” about the very poor, just as a candidate can say he’s “focused” on the economy without saying he’s “not...
