-- David Berkowitz is back, but this time, he's taking instructions from Jesus, instead of a dog possessed by the devil. Phew.

-- Here's some sound subway advice: "If all the cars except one are full, there are only two possible reasons: 1) stinky homeless person or 2) no air-conditioning. Whether or not you should get on that car is simple math: If your Tolerance For Piss (TFP) / Love Of Sweating (LOS) > Distaste For Crowded Car (DFCC) then climb aboard and have a seat. If your TFP/LOS < DFCC then you better go to the next car and squish in."

Two burgers per week is really not a lot of red meat, assuming that these are normal one-quarter to one-third pound burgers. OTOH, if we are talking about haute cuisine one-pound monstrosities, then I would have to agree.

Re Wall Street, a 40% drop in earnings still leaves a boatload of money for compensation, so I won't get too choked up over this.

one party one state

Moby can go fuck himself in his Central Park West palace. I didn't vote for Bush but Moby doesn't speak for me. This city is about freedom - including the freedom of speech, the exchange of ideas, and right to go where you want. We don't tell people who can come here and who can't. If anyone is a Nazi or a fascist, it's arrogant New Yorkers that think New York is for one party only.

Maybe Moby could do something to change the world besides selling overpriced tea to yuppies.

Moby to Bush: 'Stay Out of New York'

Bald techno boffin tells president to take a hike

With all the sentimental stuff going on with 9/11, we were slightly amused with the angry yet surprisingly sensible ramblings of electronic music guru and luxury car jingle writer Moby:

Moby: Despite the suit and tie, not a big fan of the GOP.

Moby: Despite the tie, not a big fan of the GOP.

go home, gw.

dear president bush,

stay out of new york.

you don't like us and we don't like you.

90% of us voted for john kerry in the last election. we don't trust you, and we believe, based on your record, that you've been a terrible president.

you're supposed to come to new york city today.

you're not welcome here.

you only come to new york city when you need to bolster your poll numbers.

you came here after 9-11 even though you ignored warnings of terrorist attacks and cut funding to anti-terrorist programs.

you came here for the rnc convention even though your policies have made america less safe.

you are not welcome in nyc.

go back to texas where you can cut wood for the tv cameras.

or go back to washington d.c where you can watch dick cheney run the country.

you are a liar.

you are inept.

you are probably the worst president that the united states has ever had to endure.

you are not welcome in nyc.

we are not your cheap whore, to use whenever your poll numbers are in the toilet.

we are not your crappy prop, to use when you're worried that you might have to deal with the consequences of your failed policies.

you suck, and we don't want you here.

everything you've done has gone wrong. you are in the pocket of the oil and defense industries, and the poor idiots on the religious right actually sometimes believe that you care about them and their agenda.

you only believe in issues that will keep your corporate backers happy.

you are an awful, inept, corrupt, and tragically incompetent president.

and i'm sorry that you've chosen to come to new york city on 9-11.

we didn't vote for you and we're not in any way happy that you're here.

go home, gw, and let us just get on with living our lives in the city that was attacked

due to your pre 9-11 ineptitude and incomptetence.
