- Ironic Sans looks at The Critic's animated Manhattan
- The transit worker caught sleeping on the job by cameraphone was fired!
- Bees attack Park Slope restaurant; no word on whether Winnie the Pooh's hunny pot or Max Fischer was found on the scene
- A teenager managed to save her siblings from a Brooklyn house fire but not her grandmother
- Apartment Therapy's Messiest Closet Contest makes us feel good (our closets aren't that messy!) and bad (but they are pretty damn close) at the same time
- And Mayor Bloomberg is giving the convocation speech at the University of Chicago on June 10; we point this out because while Mayor Bloomberg claims he doesn't want to run for president, it's unusual for UChicago to have a non-faculty speaker (there was Bill Clinton, but he was President, and Kay Graham, but she was the publisher of the Washington Post and a big donor)... maybe Mayor Bling is donating some money or looking to take advantage of midwest media affiliates

Also the amazing Kay Graham, y'know, actually went to the U of C.
Whereas Bloomie went to... Johns Hopkins and Harvard.
Mike is so prepping for a run...
I would welcome a Bloomberg run as a Republican if only to shock the party back to reality. It hardly matters if he wins the nomination or the election.
Watch some of Eliot Spitzer's ads for governor here:

if those are park slope bees, they better be fair trade, fair wage, equal opportunity, white-male hating, organic, progressive bees.
i happened to be walking by when the bees were there... and those pics don't do it justice. aside from them swwarming all around, the top of the door was so thick with bees the person inside could barely see out of the glass.
i'm surprised that the botanic garden, or prospect park, doesn't have a bee-keeper, or at least an expert who could have come to smoke out the bees.
