Smoke this, Bloomberg

In three months, it will be against the law to smoke in public parks and beaches in New York City due to the health risks and Mayor Bloomberg being an asshole. However, law-enforcing horses are free to defecate anywhere they want. Like, in Times Square (see below). Or in Central Park, where cars are permitted to emit their fumes.

I say we smoke that shit!

Bombs on Broadway!

After the car bomb scare in Times Square early Saturday night, our fearless local leaders had a makeshift press conference, sponsored by Yahoo, which the New York Times captured in this colorful photograph ...

It was a magical evening. Although blind, Governor Paterson stared directly into the cameras. Never before photographed with her mouth shut, Council Speaker Christine Quinn kept a tight lip. Sporting a fancy crimson bow-tie from Bergdorf's, Mayor Bloomberg calmly assured us that "The Lion King" would indeed resume performances on the following day. Hakuna Matata.

Most Broadway shows were canceled, except for "The Addams Family," which has proven that even a bomb won't keep folks away from Broadway.
