Irony alert

Times have been tough, but sometimes you see something that reminds you that we aren’t exactly experiencing a depression.
Spotted the other day at a popular eatery on Broadway in a rivertown was a notice to diners advising that “during these uncertain economic times” the restaurant would be giving customers a 15 percent discount on their first bottle of wine and 20 percent on their second.
Left undisturbed on the menu was the $32 — I repeat, thirty-two dollars — a dining couple would pay for two cheeseburgers, fancy fries included.
Obviously, sympathy for the budget-weary can only go so far.
