Friends Don't Let Friends Put Dibs On Their Parking Spot

_Friends Don't Let Friends Put Dibs On Their Parking Spot
Dibs? No. People, we've talked about this. Yes, we know there has been a lot of snow. Yes, we know that shoveling out your car can take forever and you feel that you've earned the right to put a chair or a garbage pail down in your space. But people, this isn't Boston or Chicago. You leave your spot, you lose your spot. Sorry! [MORE]

_Bloomberg Fires Back at Critics Over Gun Control

Bloomberg Fires Back at Critics Over Gun Control

Mayor Bloomberg was among the critics who faulted President Obama from cutting a passage about gun control from his State of the Union Address. The Obama administration says there will be a separate speech about guns at a later date, and yesterday Bloomberg appeared on "The Last Word" to talk about the issue. Bloomberg says Obama missed an opportunity, adding, "Presidents don't have a problem fighting wars overseas, Congress doesn't have a problem funding wars overseas. But we have a war on the streets of our cities, big and small... There are 400,000 Americans who have been killed by guns... that is roughly the number of Americans killed in WWII." Bloomberg also had some words for his NRA critics.... [ MORE ]

Tracy Morgan Does Not Object To Sarah Palin's Looks

Tracy Morgan got TNT all hot-and-bothered last night in a pre-game chat on Inside the NBA. The 30 Rock star was asked about Tina Fey and Sarah Palin's looks by Charles Barkley and company and explained in his best serious voice "Let me tell you something about Sarah Palin, she's good masturbation material."...

_Brooklyn College Prof. Says He Was Fired For Being Pro-Palestinian

Brooklyn College Prof. Says He Was Fired For Being Pro-Palestinian

A Brooklyn College adjunct professor is claiming that he was fired because of his pro-Palestinian politics. College officials say that Kristofer Petersen-Overton, 26, was fired from teaching a Middle East politics class because he didn't have a Ph.D. But Petersen-Overton thinks it was because of political pressure from outside the college. "It's pretty clear that this was politically motivated. I don't blame the pro-Israel crowd. I blame the administration for caving in to the pressure," said Petersen-Overton.... [ MORE ]
_Taco Bell: We'll Sue Anyone Who Slanders Our Seasoned Beef

Taco Bell: We'll Sue Anyone Who Slanders Our Seasoned Beef

Taco Bell is threatening to sue anyone who makes "false statements" about the company's beef, including the people suing the company for allegedly misrepresenting what constitutes their "seasoned beef." In a spirited statement, Taco Bell President and Chief Concept Officer Greg Creed went on the warpath to defend his beef. But doth the Concept Officer protest too much? In standing up for his beef, he had no choice but to draw closer attention to the ingredients. Not that "Silicon Dioxide" or "Autolyzed Yeast Extract" is anything to be ashamed of! Own it, Mr. Concept Officer Man:... [ MORE ]
_Carriage Horses Spotted Working Illegally During "Weather Emergency"

Carriage Horses Spotted Working Illegally During "Weather Emergency"

Director of Blinders, Donny Moss, wrote to us last night pointing out Mayor Bloomberg's declaration of a weather emergency yesterday, in which he stated: "Clearing the streets remains our number one job—and to do that, motorists should please, please refrain from driving." However, the carriage horses were still out there working hard, and Moss wonders "how the ASPCA could have possibly allowed them to leave their buildings this morning, given the Mayor's announcement, the dangerous conditions, and the law, which clearly states that horses should not be working under these conditions."...

_New Yorkers Overwhelmed By Snow, Slush

New Yorkers Overwhelmed By Snow, Slush

This is New York City's snowiest January ever—36 inches since January 1—but after the December 26-27 blizzard and other recent snow fall, it's getting a little tired. This is the Big Apple, not Carl Paladino's hometown, but the NY Times proclaims, "This Winter, New York City Is the New Buffalo."... [ MORE ]

NYPD Car, Lights Flashing, Speeds Wrong Way for Cupcakes

We've all seen New York's Finest blowing through red lights, stop signs, and speeding down one way streets—and naturally assumed that they're responding to a dire emergency. And if you don't think a craving for Dunkin Donuts constitutes an emergency, then you haven't tried their bacon donuts. But here's a new twist: Robert Sietsema at the Village Voice reports that "traffic came to a halt on slush-choked Bleecker Street as a squad car, lights flashing, propelled up the thoroughfare in the wrong direction." The officers then backed up onto West 11th Street and "hopped out, looking furtively in both directions." And for good reason—there could be snipers, or worse: reporters.... [ MORE ]
