Delivery Man On Bike Run Over By Two Cars

_Delivery Man On Bike Run Over By Two Cars
A 28-year-old delivery man on a bicycle was struck by two cars in Manhattan last night. First, a Lexus struck him from behind at Eighth Avenue and West 47th Street around 10:15 p.m. A witness told the Post that the driver "rammed into the 28-year-old bike rider near 47th Street with an impact so violent that the cyclist's head knocked out the windshield on the passenger side." In spite of that, the driver did not stop and kept going. Then the delivery man was run over by a BMW SUV, whose driver stopped and remained at the scene. [MORE]

_Death Threats For Objecting To Limbaugh's Hu Jintao Rant

Death Threats For Objecting To Limbaugh's Hu Jintao Rant

Queens State Assemblywoman Grace Meng is one of many officials who have demanded an apology from Rush Limbaugh for his bizarre mockery of Hu Jintao and Chinese people in general. You'll recall that Limbaugh was highly suspicious of Hu's speech during his joint press conference with President Obama last week, because there was no simultaneous translation. So instead of blaming the media or White House, he blamed Hu for speaking in his native tongue, and went on a mocking fake-Chinese language rant, complete with "ching chong," reminiscent of Rosie O'Donnell. In case you missed it, here's Colbert's take below (it starts around the 40 second mark):... [ MORE ]

Composer Accused Of Lighting Up Life With Dozens Of Assaults

Seventy-two-year-old songwriter, film director and one-time Oscar winner (for penning schmaltzy '70s pop tune "You Light Up My Life") Joseph Brooks was previously indicted on 91 counts for allegedly luring at least 13 young women to his apartment via Craigslist ads and raping and sexually assaulting them. And now prosecutors claim that's just the tip of the iceberg.... [ MORE ]

EMT's RomCom Fantasy Unsurprisingly Creepy

We're all in favor of quirky, meet cute-stories, even if we don't particularly want to hear your meet-cute story. But there's a fine line between meet-cute and meet-semiconscious-in-the-back-of-an-ambulance. And there's also a marked difference between playfully pursuing and doggedly stalking, which one lovesick Queens EMT is quickly finding out.... [ MORE ]

Capri Anderson: Why Would Women Hang Out With Charlie Sheen?

Of course the best person to weight in on Charlie Sheen's alleged briefcase-full-of-cocaine binge with porn stars that resulted in a hospital visit—which his reps are saying was just related to stomach pains—is Capri Anderson. You may remember her name from last October, when Sheen, uh, hired the porn star to be his date, an evening that culminated in Sheen trashing a room at the Plaza Hotel and locking Anderson in a closet. Anderson now tells TMZ that the women partying with Sheen are "out of their minds" for hanging out with him, given her horror story.... [ MORE ]

Brooklyn Man Accused Of Being FDNY Impersonator

Last week, it was reported that a gun which had been stolen from the 105th precinct in Jamaica, Queens had been sold back to the NYPD by a man who then willingly and nonchalantly turned himself into police. It seems that the rabbit hole runs especially deep for the man who returned the gun—police believe he is a career criminal who has made a living out impersonating law enforcement. "He's like the guy from the movie 'Catch Me If You Can,.' This guy has been caught on several occasions, but he keeps being able to dupe people. For one reason or another, they seem to fall for it," said an "exasperated" FDNY official.... [ MORE ]

Bloomberg: There Could Be 21,000 Teacher Layoffs

With Gov. Cuomo's first budget proposal since taking office imminent, Mayor Bloomberg announced yesterday that city schools could be facing a $1 billion budget cut, which could spell massive teacher layoffs. On his WOR radio show yesterday, he raised the specter that as many as 21,000 teachers could lose their jobs this year: "Scuttlebutt is that the education budget will be cut statewide, and New York City's share of that would be a billion-dollar cut."...
