Extra, Extra

- Hunter students use their third floor common room to protest the war by dressing up in orange jumpsuits and screaming, "They're raping me! They're torturing me! Please do something! Don't just go to class."
- Some grandmas also protested the war, but were arrested when they tried to enlist at the Times Square army recruiting center
- Mayor Bloomberg endorses the Transportation Bond Act and of course he does - it's a bill from Albany not our own City Hall (for the record, we endorse the bond act too, even if it will mean having to pay it back in the painful years ahead)
- Williamsburg isn't quite Bed-Stuy, yet...
- Eater tears itself away from vegan muffins at Teany to have breakfast at the Shake Shack
- And sources say the white iPod Video 30GB is already sold out at the Apple Store! (The 30GB in black and the 60GB in white and black are still available though)

"Williamsbirg isn't quite bed-stuy yet"

Other way around.

Hey, I'm at Hunter College right now. Man---one of the downsides of taking night classes is having to miss all this excitement.

The Shake Shack should be bulldozed. Who did Danny Meyer blow to steal the right to build his shack in a public park.

I think Bedford Ave does run thru Bed-Stuy as well, no?

I love the Shake Shack, the burgers and shakes are so good and its nice to be able to eat outside

Geography and concessionaire disputes aside, is screaming "rape" a great form of protest? Especially in a college environment, do we really need to inure NYers to cries for help in sexual assault situations? This seems like the worst protest idea ever.
