So, the real estate market in Manhattan is finally softening, and what lead article from blithering idiot Leslie P. Norton?

Signs of cracks in Manhattan’s property market could mean the rest of the country is on the road to recovery, since New York tends to feel the effects of a slowing economy later than the nation does. One segment still in the stratosphere: luxury condos and co-ops in exclusive buildings.

So, it could mean that the market is turning around…..or it could mean that that space aliens have abducted you and replaced you with a robot.

What it means that prices are dropping in Manhattan, which indicates a down market in Manhattan.

How does that saying go, ahhh…yes:

For example, given the premise, “all fish live underwater” and “all mackerel are fish”, my wife will conclude, not that “all mackerel live underwater”, but that “if she buys kippers it will not rain”, or that “trout live in trees”, or even that “I do not love her any more.” This she calls “using her intuition”. I call it “crap”….

And it gets me very irritated too.
