  1. A quiet day on the Gothamist Newsmap: a stabbing in Inwood, a few fires in Brooklyn, and a number of traffic accidents.
  2. Are we damned to hear Adam Sandler's Thanksgiving Song every year from now on? It's become the Alice's Restaurant of the 21st Cenutry!
  3. The Times has a sad background piece on one of the women found dead in Atlantic City on Monday-- she had been working as a prostitute in the area.
  4. The one-millionth Borat-related lawsuit was filed this week-- the NYC Transit worker who told Borat that his name was none of his "f-ing business" is asking for unspecified damages.
  5. Interesting: "The city's trial effort to get bodegas to sell more low-fat milk has proven so successful that Mayor Bloomberg said yesterday the program will be expanded five-fold to 1,000 stores."
  6. In 1821, the streets of the Lower East Side were filled with garbage, and wild pigs roamed the neighborhood looking for food. That doesn't sound too different from today!

well, once the Thanksgiving song is over, you know you're gonna hear that stupid Hanukkah song.

hey

the Adam Sandler Hanukkah song is the only song for us Jewish people.

We could see the Thanksgiving Day Parade from out Office window, even with the heavy rains and gusty winds all morning - it was packed with good spirited parents and excited children.

Hey, thanks for using the photo.

"The one-millionth Borat-related lawsuit was filed this week-- the NYC Transit worker who told Borat that his name was none of his "f-ing business" is asking for unspecified damages. "

WTF! He had such a minor part in the movie and if I recalled, his face was blurred out. If not, he signed a release. Geez, all these people grubbing for money.

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.
