Yesterday I had one of those are rare days - getting off from work early. So cruising down the Pike, running up and down the radio dial, looking for something, anything to hold my attention. Hey what’s that? Golly gee… it’s the Jordan Levy Show. Haven’t heard ole motor mouth trip himself up in a while.
Jordan Levy news flash! Direct Air has expanded service to Palm Beach to three times a week. Great if you have the money to blow. Me thinks you don’t. Bet ya'll got lots free time on your hands too.
So let’s see… Jordan Levy says leave Thursday night, return Sunday night. Fly R/T for $158. What about a hotel room? Sorta tough if you don’t book in advance and not so easy on the wallet. But there’s a Days Inn at $79 a night. Great deal if you can get it. Or bring your own tent and cooler.
So folks if you got at least $600 laying around, do what Jordan Levy says, fly Direct Air to Palm Beach for three nights. Waste your hard earned dollars in Florida instead of Worcester, Massachusetts.
Why is Jordan Levy extolling the virtues of Florida and not Worcester, Massachusetts? What’s he got against us anyways? I guess for a price the guy’ll endorse anything, but won't say a kind word on behalf of Vacationland Worcester - the un-official fun spot of New England.
Honestly, aren’t there a lot more interesting things to do here than lying around a pool in Florida getting drunk? We got sunshine and sand too. What about a family outing to Bell Pond or Coes? Lake Quinsig?
Gotta say, Jordan Levy's brain churns out a lot of stupid stuff. But isn't that typical Jordan Levy? His mouth kicks in before his brain? And the ole reprobate gets paid for that? Go figure. Want someone to talk stupid shit. Then hire me! I'll do it for just coffee and donuts.
And how is it that Jordan Levy, Wusta's most renown failed capitalist, always praises anyone who invests nothing in the local economy? What exactly is Direct Air's investment in Worcester? All they got is a license to do business with MassPort and they rent a booth at the airport and employ two part-timers. Where’s the investment?
Slow down there dudeo. Will, they’re taking a big risk coming here and they’re offering folks the opportunity to travel. You know, like get outta Wusta for a while.
Okay, I get ya. Let me say this. Anyone coming here is taking a big risk with their life anyways and landing a jet here ain't an investment. If business goes south (that's a pun folks) then they just skip over Wusta and move on to Buffalo or some other economically depressed dump.
Me thinks the only big risk is to the population should one of them 64 ton things fall on em. Just kidding. Hey I get it... if they fail. Guess what? They get a tax treatment on their losses that would make your head spin. Not to mention the government subsidies they rake in for running a business. Even ruining a business. All courtesy of your elected politicians i.e., your tax dollars folks. So what risk?
Ya know, I’d rather publicly praise Paulie Collyer for his money losing beer blasts than Direct Air for sending a 64 ton air pollutin contraption here. By the way, anyone know how much Paulies' NOLA raised for the NAA? The Teletubbys have been pretty mum on that. But whatcha expect huh?
So I got today off. Me thinks we’ll take the kids to Regatta Point. Indulge in the cool murky waters of Lake Quinsig. Or maybe not. It's really the stinkiest water I ever smelled. Gotta use a Brillo Pad to get the stuff off. Maybe some other time huh?
But gotta say, love that Levy guy. He's so... so informative.
