The thought of those pots and pots of money has long smelled like lots and lots of honey irresistible to the European economic community who'd now like to seize it with impunity and at their very first opportunity. Meanwhile, leaping to Apple's cooking the books our U. S. Pols say that while they may indeed be crooks they are neither Irish nor European--- but OUR crooks-- so keep your hands off -for the time bein' until we somehow bring all that cash back home. and thus find ourselves a better way to end this poem.

MARITAL ARITHMETIC

FacebookTwitterGoogleEmailCopy EXCLUSIVE Meet the man allegedly having an affair with Larry King’s wife By Oli ColemanAugust 24, 2016 | 10:05pm Modal TriggerMeet the man allegedly having an affair with Larry King’s wife Richard Greene, Shawn King and Larry KingPhoto: Getty Images (Composite) MORE ON: LARRY KING Larry King 'embarrassed and furious' over wife's alleged affair Larry King's wife allegedly having affair Singing should be left to Tony Bennett Larry King approves of A-Rod's new gig The man who’s been carrying on an alleged yearlong affair with Larry King’s wife, Shawn King, is a public-speaking guru whose clients have included US senators, Arianna Huffington, Princess Diana,Naomi Campbell, and Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, according to a source close to the King family. Richard Greene — dubbed “the master of charisma” by the Sunday Times of London, and whose Website lists the aforementioned stars as customers — has also appeared as a talking head on endless TV news reports. And the National Enquirer — which broke the story of the affair, but didn’t name Greene — claims that Shawn is trying to groom him as “the next Larry King.” Attorneys representing Shawn and Larry, as well as a rep for Greene, called the story of the affair “inaccurate.” Meanwhile, insiders tell Page Six that Larry, 82, was blindsided by the revelation of the alleged tryst. Sources say that Larry believed his wife of 19 years was faithful to him and only learned about her romance with Greene when the Enquirer contacted his reps for comment. Shockingly, an insider told us that Shawn, 56, met Greene when he was a guest on a podcast she co-hosts with her husband, “Back and Forth With Shawn and Larry.” “He’s heartbroken,” a friend of Larry’s told us. “He’s embarrassed and furious.” The source added that although Shawn — whom the Enquirer reported on Wednesday had sent nude pictures and had “steamy afternoon sex sessions” with her boy toy — is still living with Larry after the news hit, the veteran broadcaster hasn’t made a decision on whether to file for divorce. In fact, the insider said that before the scandal broke, Shawn “was ready to divorce Larry for this guy, but the guy was hesitant about it.” The insider further revealed that Shawn and Larry’s marriage has effectively been over since about 2010 and that the couple sleep in separate rooms in their Beverly Hills, Calif., home. MARITAL ARITHMETIC ? Eighty two minus twenty six makes fifty six. So what, or else what the hey? It's only arithmetic but still hard to fix even in separate bedrooms, they say.. How often does that work--can you tell us? Well it seems perhaps not any more cleverly in those expensive Hills called Beverly than it does anywhere else.
