Open House New York!
The Angriest Justice
Mr. Potato Head in Ecstasy Bust
When I was up visiting Arielle last week she mentioned that a couple friends of hers had been involved in parking day, down here in the City the week before. I was confused at first, envisioning raunchy protest PDAs committed in broad daylight on these city streets or something. But no, PARK(ing) Day, as it turns out, is an attempt to "rethink the way streets are used, call attention to the need for urban parks, and improve the quality of urban human habitats." Originating, unsurprisingly enough, in San Francisco a few years back, this concept of (legally) taking over urban parking spaces and turning them into miniature gardens has spread all the way across this vast land and ended up here on the east coast in this veritable concrete oasis that is New York City. Pretty cool, eh? Read more here.

Quote of the day: "The fun thing about this stage in politics is that almost everything that's being written will be proven wrong." -Mitt Romney
Other quote of the day: "“If we took away women’s right to vote, we’d never have to worry about another Democrat president. It’s kind of a pipe dream, it’s a personal fantasy of mine, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women. It also makes the point, it is kind of embarrassing, the Democratic Party ought to be hanging its head in shame, that it has so much difficulty getting men to vote for it. I mean, you do see it’s the party of women and ‘We’ll pay for health care and tuition and day care -- and here, what else can we give you, soccer moms?’” - Ann Coulter
