This One Goes To 111...

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Officials in charge of rebuilding the World Trade Center site Wednesday were quick to dismiss real estate developer Donald Trump's proposal to scrap their plan and instead build "reincarnated" Twin Towers similar to the originals.


I like The Donald. He's straightforward and you know what you're getting when you deal with him. An earlier story, maybe in the WSJ, had Trump saying something like "I'd rebuild the towers, only make them one story taller."

As the great poet Jay-Z once observed, "middle finger to the Law, nigga, gripping my balls." That's the kind of attitude I like.

I had two suggestions: Either build Frank Lloyd Wright's designed-but-never-constructed mile-high skyscraper (http://www.delmars.com/wright/flw7a.htm), or the one I Photoshopped together a few days after 9/11: http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=87006&Start=1&Artist=salvius&ByArtist=Yes (I later saw another similar take on this being emailed around, though IMNSHO, mine's better...)

I've always loved that FLW building. I vote for that one.

And who the hell is Scott Nickell, Steve?
