If this guy isn’t mentally ill, he is clearly under Satan’s command. According to various interviews, Schwarzman doesn’t consider himself “wealthy”. If $4.6 Billion were not enough, would it be overreaching for him to sell his Mother to a hairy Arab sheik in exchange for an additional $50 Exxon gas card? I mean, a $50 gas card could take us from here to there, you know what I mean?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-65566627949898564622009-12-16T18:36:41.394-05:002009-12-16T18:36:41.394-05:00I'm a young person and I call it the Main Bran...I'm a young person and I call it the Main Branch.
