Man Arrested After Flashing Gang Signs on Santa’s Lap

Questions:

1) What is an 18 year old doing sitting on santa’s lap?

2) Is santa’s red suit a sign that he’s a member of the Bloods?

All that’s missing from my apartment would be the aluminum pole.

President elect Obama likes to hit the gym. That’s cool.

Now of course, as anyone who visits any fitness forums would ask–what’s his routine?

Is he a split guy? A full-body? Does he work legs?

Dios Mio! It was freezing outside this morning. I think it was in the teens, no?

Apparently California is now the major power player in DC

Problem is, that California is teetering on the verge of bankruptcy…

How many games has it been since the Browns offense has found the end zone this year?

Today’s Post ran a piece on the history of snowmen from an author who has a book out on…the history of the snowman

This seems to follow in what appears to be a newish genre–the “history of” type books. Another such publication (which I’ve been meaning to read) is The Bagel: A Cultural History

Anyone got any other good history books to add?

we has it today.

It’s too warm for it to snow but not too warm to prevent some ice formation.

Yeah–it sucks outside.

Hanukkah is becoming almost hip

Still have to figure out my gifts for the siblings…

So it’s finally (really) snowed for the first time this year. The local media has been hyping it as some giant storm

Honestly, there was maybe an inch early today and then it started to rain and sleet, but nothing major. Nonetheless, it didn’t prevent some of the co-workers from panicking and the decision was made (by some higher ups) to close work early. What happened to the idea of the tough New Yorker?

Alas, being from Cleveland, where we get plenty of snow…this “storm” is nothing. I stayed behind at work (to get things done) and held down the fort. The commute home was simple–it’s been worse when it rains. The snowfall outside is minimal by Cleveland standards. If only these NYCers knew what lake effect snow was like.

Winter Blast Sets Record in Las Vegas, Aims for N.Y. (

3-5 inches are forecast for Manhattan.

Since I’m from CLEVELAND, where we get a lot more snow than 3″, this will be nothing!!!

From Cleveland.com: Do Snobby New Yorkers Hate Everyone From Cleveland? Gawker.com wants to know

Fact: Many a NYCer probably can’t pinpoint Cleveland on the map…so why worry?

Fact: Yankees Suck

Fact: NYCers hate clueless tourists regardless of where their from. Lesson to be learned: don’t be a clueless tourist!

Telegraph: Going to the gym in a lunch-break makes you work better

Going to the gym at work in a lunch-break improves concentration, productivity and ability to cope with stress, researchers find.

This is actually one of the reasons I go to the gym; especially first thing in the AM. I need the energy. It also makes me feel better and often gets me into the “zone” (in a good way).

Is it just me (and The Sister) or has anyone else been a bit dissapointed in this season’s Top Chef contestants to date?
They seem to be lacking somewhat compared to past seasons.

Perhaps it’s just because it’s the early rounds?

Attorney: Ill. governor won’t fill Senate vacancy

Theoretically, the Senate could still function minus one senator from IL, right?

I’m seriously considering leaving this state if this is the kind of Budget that’s going to be produced.

18% tax on soda, iPod tax, movie theater tax, sporting event tax, taxi tax, bus tax, limo tax, cable TV tax, radio tax, clothing tax…

+ MTA fare increases

Question: what isn’t going to be taxed?

That’s a quote from the newscaster on CSU’s 60 foot winning shot over Syracuse last night.
