Saturday is a notorious slow news day and those of you who live outside metro New York might have missed this. The will of recently-deceased Leona Helmsley, the aptly proclaimed “Queen of Mean”, was recently made public. Leona, whose estate was estimated to be in excess of $2.5 billion (the b is not a typo) left $12 million in trust for the care of her dog. Before you wonder if this doesn’t somehow reflect a heretofore unnoticed tenderness in this feisty ex-con (Tax-evasion, natch), you might want to check with her grandchildren, two of whom got stiffed, as in nada.
An appropriate epitath? How about “Only the little people pay taxes.”
