Tried the new Google Transit beta today. I used exact addresses, neighborhoods & landmarks (like … Prospect Heights to Times Square) and combinations in between. All 5 things I tried totally failed. It’s a good idea and it could be really useful, but so far it’s a dud. Not that google needs our help, but [...]
TOKYO, Japan (AP) — A teenager who posed as a wealthy playboy and went on an extravagant spending spree at a nightclub has been arrested after trying to skip out on his bill, police said Saturday. The 16-year-old boy entered a hostess bar in Niiza City near Tokyo on Wednesday night and — over the [...]
City Girl Country Girl, a new cookie company from Greenwich, is making me seriously rethink my opinions about Connecticut.
Believe me when I tell you that no amount of Joementum can spoil the sweet ecstasy that comes from eating one of CGCG’s Chocolate Chip cookies. The fact that they are all natural, and vegan to boot, [...]
uhm, ewww. From a local station in Wisconsin:
A pro-life group in Racine is under fire after mailing controversial material to 44,000 people. It included an informational letter, a fundraising envelope and a small plastic fetus.
My favorite reaction: “Peggy Bell didn’t know what to do with the tiny plastic fetus she received in the mail, so [...]
In a heated exchange with a reporter Wednesday, Bill Clinton railed angrily against the Nevada Democratic Party’s plan to set up caucus meetings in nine casinos on the Las Vegas strip. Clinton alleges that, because of these special caucuses, a casino worker’s votes would count “five times”. No effort is made to explain how he [...]
Had a wicked good brunch on Sunday at Counter, in the East Village. A couple friends of mine are mostly vegan, and it can be a hard scrape trying to find good/non-slop brunches that satisfy the vegans and the blood-lusters. (Gridskipper tried. Eh.) Anyway, Counter sat us right away (there were 9 of us including [...]
Dear America,
I want to thank you. Over the last two weeks, I listened to you and, in the process, I found my own voice. That voice told me something that really shocked me: I’m running for President against a black person. As I campaign between now and Super Tuesday, I am going to try and [...]
I am doing my best to muscle through tonight’s Golden Globes. It isn’t easy. The show’s writers, along with the usual presenters (all of whom are union actors) have refused to participate because of the ongoing Writer’s Guild strike. Instead we have to suffer through an akward press conference featuring the comedy stylings of Mary [...]
What a week! Senator Hillary cried, Sir Hillary died, Roger Clemens lied, and Britney got high. (I’m trying here, gimme a break.) We’ll sort it all out in this weeks’ Gay Marry It … Or Abort It?
Game time! Read the quotes below and see if you can tell who said them. Was it Hillary Clinton, Karl Rove, or Batman Begins villain Ra’s Al Ghul? You’ll have to focus — it’s trickier than you think:
#1 “It is tempting anytime things seem quieter for a minute on the international front to think that [...]
