Ok I did have a little chuckle while reading this. I'm in JFK Airport quite a lot and there is constantly loudspeaker announcements about not taking a ride from people who are unauthorized because you will get ripped off etc. They always direct you to the taxi rank outside of the terminal. These poor french tourists got the ride of their life and I feel bad for them, I can only imagine what their opinion of New York is right now. They two culprits were arrested and hopefully won't be taking anymore unsuspecting tourists for a ride

Anyone been following the news out of Albany, NY regarding the state senate? Earlier this month Democrats lost their position of power (which they had for a few months after decades of Republican rule) to Republicans when two of their own party defected. There was shouting, rebellion...Democrats storming out and shutting off the lights as they left...all the things government officials should be doing. *rolls eyes* It's a mess in Albany, the Governor is fed up, bills aren't being passed. This has nothing to do with the good of the masses. It's a bun

Well apparently all you have to do is be a school teacher in New York City and upset the apple cart (break a rule or just plain aggravate the wrong person). There are over 700 teachers in NYC alone that are getting paid to sit there. Yep they are under contract and well if they can't teach for some reason then they have to report to a room to sit or as some call it the rubber room. So they sit there and wait and wait for their dicipinary hearings. Some times they wait months and some times years.


Oh, they are so going with insanity here...
So, we have this dude. His mommy dies. He becomes mommy. Does anyone remember the 1960's movie Psycho?
From CNN:

A 49-year-old man impersonated his dead 77-year-old mother in paperwork -- and sometimes in person -- for six years, collecting more than $100,000 in her name, according to the Brooklyn district attorney.


and the idiot award goes to.............
Officers Troopers Daniel Martin and Bryan Iker of the Oklahoma state police.
why......

So, if you're young, hip, preppy or you have kids most likely you have been to Abercrombie & Fitch. Most of the stores look the same ... Same overpriced clothes that generally have that used look, loud music and the employees all have that "Look".


Yay happy endings!

So in light of the almost doomed flight back in January that landed in the Hudson River, the city has planned to euthanize the geese population from New York City area airports. This probably should have been done before now, but better late than never. I'm sure some animal rights activists will be in a tizzy over it, but I'd rather get rid of these birds than have another disaster!
