Each day we open up our digital copy of The New York Times and mock it (and ourselves) for its absurdity. Today we learn that Ellis Island is so over and reaffirm that The French™ are a silly people.

Each day, we open up our digital copy of the New York Times and mock it (and ourselves) for its insanity. Today we learn that parents everywhere are idiots, not just those in Park Slope. But especially those in Park Slope.
Oh, please pity me! I left my stroller unlocked outside my apartment because I was too lazy to collapse it and carry it up the stairs and now it’s been stolen! Poor me! Never mind that I have such a laissez-faire attitude towards my possessions that I leave a $400-to-$1000 item outside with no protection. No, that’s not going to be stolen at all. Not in Brooklyn! I mean, I live on a busy street! This kind of thing just doesn’t happen to people like me!

This is yet another article inspired by random things my neighbors happen to leave outside their homes.
I took this photo the other day while on a stroll in my general environs. Here are the thoughts I had upon viewing this item, in the order that they occurred. Continue reading
A stunned court room listened to the jury read not guilty verdicts for all counts except making false statements to law enforcement.
Tot Mom will remain in jail until sentencing on Thursday at 9AM Eastern. She has been in jail for 3 years and there is a good chance that will suffice as a sentence for the false statements.
Those of us on the American coasts may be familiar with a website network called Patch. Basically it’s a blog covering extremely local news. It’s a great way to stay current on local events, politics and shopping. My local version is Long Beach, NY. Since our local paper is owned by the local cable network, it’s refreshing to get a different perspective on things.
Let me tell you what horror is. Horror is me sitting at my desk, hands posed over the keyboard, looking at five minutes of blank copy. I got nuttin’ because it’s a holiday weekend. This why all us alleged news types go postal over the fucking hot dog eating contest and start babbling on about what’s happening with Fox’s Twitter feed (hello! Free PR for the competition!) or stupid medical studies we’ve stockpiled for these news emergencies or whatever. Because I got nothing but hot dogs and fireworks. Nothing.
Still, I search. I search for you.
On a day when we remember the Founding Fathers of America, let’s try to remember the Founding Mothers, too.
Abigail Adams, our second First Lady, wife of John Adams. Abigail famously wrote her husband, as he served as Massachusetts’ representative to the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, to ‘remember the ladies.’ Abigail was an enormous proponent of women’s property rights, among other things, long before it was cool.

So I guess none of us have anything better to do than to watch the latest trial of the Century on this fine summer day. Casey Anthony is facing seven charges relating to the death of her three-year-old daughter, Calee. They include first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, and aggravated manslaughter resulting in death of a child. Continue reading
Google+ is a new social networking site. Yes, new social networking sites come out every other week. Yes, no-one cares. Yes, Google has tried to get into the social networking field before, and failed. This might be different. Most social networking sites are intended to be additional to whatever social networks you already use. Hell, many even have buttons to share stuff from them to Facebook or Twitter.
Google+ is different. The message of Google+ is that it does everything Facebook does, and more, but also lets you control your privacy and sharing better than Facebook. The goal of Google+ is nothing short of consigning Facebook to the dustbin of history, alongside MySpace. Continue reading
