The best (public) transportation system in the nation this year is none other than Cleveland’s RTA (of which the Little Brother is a huge fanboy)

Meanwhile, the MTA…well, they still suck.

Wow….5 of the (now previous) top 10 teams were upset over the weekend.

DId anyone anticipate any of these?

McCain: No Muslim president, U.S. better with Christian one

Now which of the major monotheisms is missing from this story?

The Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish advocacy group, could not be reached for comment because its offices were closed for the Sukkoth holiday.

Nor was Joe Lieberman available for comment….

Definitely a holiday I can get behind:

Happy National Coffee Day! 

The USF-WVU game has just gotten to half-time, and there have been a total of 8 turnovers–already!

Successful day at work for me today…

Not much else to say

So Gordon Ramsey’s American version of Kitchen Nightmares is on.

The restaurant being eviscerated, Dillon’s is actually one that come to think about it, I’ve walked by many a time.  (FWIW: It’s on 54th between 8th and Broadway; link goes to what I assume is a revamped website)

Watching this show, how did this restaurant escape being DOH’d? Come to think of it, I did notice the new signage on one of my strolls down that block (and the ugly LED sign is thankfully gone)

On the other hand, the soup shop next door, “The Daily Soup” is a very clean, speedy, and quality restaurant.

OSU backup quarterback Antonio Henton was arrested the other night for soliciting a prostitute. From the article:

With $19 in his pocket, Henton solicited an undercover police officer on the corner of North High Street and 6th Avenue, offering $20 for sex, according to Franklin County Municipal Court records

And a dollar short at that….

Can there ever be or will there ever be good science journalism? Probably not due to the complexity of many of the papers that are published in specific journals.  Also the knowledge required to understand and parse the papers (and the statistics contained therein) is beyond the grasp of the general public.

Slate Magazine looks at some over-the-counter snoring remedies If snoring is actually a significant problem, one should realy consult with an Ear, nose and Throat ENT) doctor or schedule a visit with a Sleep Medicine physician.

[To anyone in NYC or its vicinty: if you need the name of a good sleep clinic drop me a note in the comments)

Apparently the newest cause celebre on some college campuses is to protest electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) ECT, while still not perfect, has progressed since it’s inception as a therapy for severe psychiatric conditions.  There was actually a cover story in the Village Voice about just this subject last week.

On the heels of Ahmadinejad…

Perhaps they’ll invite:

Robert Mugabe to speak on Economic Development

(share your ideas in the comments)

Paper: Bush quietly advising top Dems Now with as poorly as Bush has been doing overall lately does this advice actually help or hurt the Dems?

One of Karl Rove’s last evil strategies at work…

It’s UN Week (a.k.a. dictator and despots week) so many a thug or their government flunkies are in the City. Bah…won’t they leave already?

Common sense would dictate that one shouldn’t do anything to provoke any reaction from the TSA.

Apparently one MIT student didn’t think along those lines and decided to wear something provocative (in terms of security) and thought that there’d be nothing wrong with it.

Obviously this student didn’t learn the lesson of the Mooninite affair and how hyper-sensitive Boston is.

Yet another example of where academic smarts don’t correspond with common sense.

Hooray! The Indians have won the AL Central!

This calls for a celebration!

Only one more win for the Tribe or a loss by the TIgersand the AL Central Title retuns to Cleveland!

Count me among the others not too clear on the whole Jena Six Incidents. From my limited understanding of things, here’s a simplified view of things,

The teens who hung the nooses were wrong for doing so.

The teens who beat the one guy were wrong for doing so.

A lot of wrongs to go around.

Though I still don’t yet understand the Revs. Sharpton and Jackson protesting.

Anyone care to share some insight?

This is just ashame:

Lakewood has a sign hating vigilante who has sent fake takedown notices to a man with pro-Army signs in his yard.

What kind of sick twisted individual would do something like this
