Obviously a lot of ways to go with this one. Fill in the blanks now, big reveal after the jump.


The answer we were looking for was to “fetch” his own “coffee.” Fetch and coffee. Not braid/hair, S/D, shave/legs, pack/lunch though all those might be accurate. Today it’s fetch/coffee.

At 8:30 a.m. Monday-a half hour before he was scheduled to speak at the Time Warner Economic Summit-Geithner pulled up in a dark blue SUV around the corner from the Time Warner Center in midtown Manhattan. From inside a Starbucks across the way, I watched Geithner pop out of the back seat and walk briskly across 60th Street into the Starbucks, followed by two men (presumably his security detail). The line was at least ten people deep. But Geithner stood by himself in the queue with everyone else and focused on his BlackBerry until it was his turn to order and pay. If anyone recognized the Treasury Secretary, they didn’t make a fuss.

    There’s no reason to fetch your own coffee
    You get your secretary to do that, and then you bend her over your desk and pound her in the ass

    “If anyone recognized the Treasury Secretary, they didn’t make a fuss.” This is NY, the capital of hiding in plain sight. You see notable people all the time. I actually once saw Ron Perelman pushing a stroller some years back on Park Ave. I told him what a beautiful baby (it had a fat little face – sort of like his, which on a baby is really cute) and he looked happier than if I had said here’s another billion for you.

I had been wondering if your web hosting is OK? Not that I’m complaining, but slow loading instances times will often affect your placement in google and could damage your high-quality score if ads and marketing with Adwords. Well I am adding this RSS to my e-mail and can look out for much more of your respective interesting content. Ensure that you update this again soon..
