  • New York's currently: motherfucker!
  • Israel's Supreme Court approves expulsion of terror suspects' relatives from the West Bank to the Gaza Strip.
  • The magnetometers, X-ray machines and cameras are great, and we get a lot of small weapons, but a terrorist or someone who wants to kill a judge isn't going to be stopped by a magnetometer. NY courts seize thousands of weapons from visitors; some superheroes bypass the magnetometers.
  • U.K. parents to embed chip in daughter's arm to prevent kidnapping; why not embed a magnetometer?
  • Bush receives boots, sombrero, and stenciled belt; Powell gets diorama.
  • NYPD starts using digital cameras in documenting domestic abuse cases.
  • McDonald's to cut fry-fat in half.
  • Judith Joice, of the smoky Lion's Head and Cornelia Street Cafe, to aid Bloomberg's ban on smoking in New York.
  • B.R. Myers, author of 'A Reader's Manifesto' in the Atlantic Monthly, now has a book that flunks DeLillo, Proulx, Auster and others.
  • Microsoft does lots of research.
  • P. Diddy rocks fashion 'from my manicure to my pedicure, from my head to my toe, it's the swagger that I show the world, it's my face baby. It's my walk, my attitude.' He also throws the greatest party of all time.
  • Love and lust on subway ‘singles' cars.
  • Fainting goats for sale. Related: Moby responds to the VMAs.
  • Sliding into a long Hedi Slimane coat made of red satin which had four lengths of fringe sewn horizontally into the lining (so that when he moves the fringes show), Jagger said, 'Da da da!' and then bent his elbows and waved his arms up and down in a familiar flapping dance. It was a gesture of due diligence, not exuberance. Jagger's coats all have extra material under the arms to make this kind of movement easier. 'A gusset,' Jagger said, enjoying the word. Dressing Mick Jagger for tour.
