FDNY Has Its Own Rant Site

2005_07_magoo.jpgLast week, the police officer behind the website, NYPD Rant, was fired. And now, a similar site focused on complaints from firefighters about the FDNY, FDNY Rant is getting attention. The Post reports about FDNY Rant, and says that the FDNY doesn't really think it's relevant, though some brass are secretly interested in shutting it donw. For instance, they don't like how Mayor Bloomberg's nickname is "Doomberg," Police Commissioner Kelly is called "Popeye," and Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta is "Mr. Magoo." Mr. Magoo! We knew Scoppetta remind us of someone!
