Extra, Extra We Wish Tomorrow Weren't Monday Edition

- A suspended Bronx police officer was arrested again for allegedly raping a woman who he'd offered a lift.

- We're not sure we'd call it a "Big Dig" yet, but this doesn't sound like fun.

- Oy. A teacher at Bronx Science has TB.

- Come to think of it, there are a lot of banks in Forest Hills, Queens.

- The Department of Sanitation is working on getting some eco-friendly garbage trucks. Visions of Back to the Future 2 are running through our heads.

- "Residents" say: "The encroaching vagabonds are turning their tony stretch of Greene Street into a slum by parading in and out at all hours, blasting music and turning the sidewalks into urinals." We say: About time SoHo got back to its roots...

I love it. "SoHo's roots." Heh. Can we at least make sure that these kids have some talent before we let them loose on the soulless yuppies? Nothing worse than some talent-free trustafarians ranting about how they keep it real. SoHo was edgy at one point, but then so was New York...
