- An off-duty cop fighting with a group of "thugs" was shot early yesterday morning by another police officer.

- The inevitable spread of children throughout the West Village is affecting local businesses.

- One of the East Villages "last bohemians" passes on.

- The Onion moved to New York five years ago, remains funny.

- The Daily News reports that "Donald Trump, the Rockefeller Group and Ford Models were among the tycoons and huge corporations that received federal 9/11 recovery grants earmarked by congress for small businesses." Yuck.

- A New York father answered the phone and walked into a Greek tragedy.

- Lizzie Grubman, PR-something [link NSFW], is getting hitched.

Decent Onion profile. But there are some odd factual errors. Chris Farley definitely was not at John's wedding. Unless his ghost was pulling a Tommy Boy. And the "16th compendium" is off. The numbers on those are arbitrary at best since there are less than 10.

Gotta love those N.Y. Times fact checkers!

Do we even still care about Lizzie Grubman anymore?

And can someone come up with a list or map of free Onion boxes?
Here are two:
79th and Broadway, northeast side of the street, north of the bus stop.
112th and Broadway, southeast corner.

What happened with Lizzie and jail time for running over those people in the Hamptons? Tired of seeing her mug.
