Oh, yeah

Seen today on a construction wall on Bedford Ave.

Liberal Bias Indeed

Yes, Gov. Palin, it's true. The truth really does have a liberal bias. Which explains why you're so conservative. After all, you're still trying to convince people that the Alaska Legislature's investigation was run by Sen. Obama, even though the allegations against you were made before you were Sen. McCain's GILF VP candidate. Go back to Alaska, lady. We need you to keep an eye on Russia.

Adios 9K

I took this picture at work when the Dow fell below 9,000. Remember when the House of Representatives first rejected the Wall Street bailout bill at the end of September, and the Dow fell 778 points - the biggest drop ever? It fell to 10,365. Now that looks pretty good. This past week it fell even further and the market lost $2.24 trillion in value. The next president is going to have his hands full.

Surely Not!

I think it's sexist for CNN and other news outlets to constantly specify the gender of suicide bombers when they're female. What's the point? I assume they think it's more sensational, and that more people will click on the headline and please their advertisers. Or the problem is simply that editors are still convinced that women can't do everything men can do, so they're personally shocked by something like this. Weird. You would think that at least now, during the Hillary-Sarah election, they would be a little more aware. It's not like CNN still refer to Gov. Palin as the first Republican VP candite in every headline.

Pandering Palin

This ad on CNN's website proves that Sen. McCain's choice of Gov. Palin as his running mate was nothing more than a megapander. McCain is selling her gender -- and it's historic implications -- as pretty much the only reason to click on this ad. Pathetic, and yet expected. The Republican ticket is transparent to the extreme.

Typical New York Post

It's no secret the New York Post is drunk on McCain's kool-aid, but seriously folks. How can a New York paper even try to convince people in this city that Gov. Palin was anything but a pathetic failure during the VP debate? How can anyone take this paper seriously?

Wink Wink

What the hell is wrong with this woman? She's running for Vice President of the United States! This isn't the Miss Alaska contest. Why is she winking? And who exactly does the NY Post think it's kidding? I can't wait for the day that Palin runs back to Alaska with her tail between her legs. And she'll be a lame duck there, too. Because now Alaskans know more about her than they ever did before and they'll despise her.

Are You Kidding Me?

Fox News viewers are obviously delirious. Who are they kidding. Palin is an idiot.

Can't Stop, Won't Stop

I saw this in the subway station at Union Square. It's an altered ad for Filene's Basement. What does it mean?

Nick and I relaxed at Union Square on Saturday, then pigged out at Chipotle.

Street Art on 9/11

I walked past this 9/11 street art on Bedford Avenue. I thought it was pretty interesting, if not a bit morbid.

Russia's Motives

-- Russia is using the Kosovo conflict as a justification for saying it may recognize S. Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent states. However, Russia never recognized Kosovo's independence and was strongly against it.

-- If Russia cares so much about independence for Georgia's breakaway regions, then why hasn't Russia awarded independence to N. Ossetia, which is under its control?

-- If all breakaway republics deserve independence, then why did Russia sacrifice tens of thousands of soldiers' and civilians' lives in two bloody wars to keep Chechnya within its borders?

-- Everyone keeps saying most S. Ossetians are "Russians" but they're not. Russia simply gave them Russian passports. Did that change their ethnicity, or did it just provide an excuse for invasion?
