There's no "3rd Precinct" in Brooklyn or any other borough of the City. There is a 3rd Precinct in Nassau County, where an off-duty NYPD officer was shot early this morning.

It's kind of irresponsible of you to play with the BNN/MNS stuff without doing your homework. If you're going to report a cop shot in Brooklyn you ought to make sure it happened.

$36 million. Hillary's raised $36m.

Hillary raised $26mn in new contributions for her Presidential campaign in the first three months of 2007. The additional $10mn was simply shifted from her Senate campaign fund.

that article about the mysterious roommate was another large waste of time and a stupid lack of professionalism on the part of NYT heads.

It's like the stories that middle school boys on too many behavioral drugs write about their father being a secret agent when in reality he is just carrying out a seedy, time consuming affair with another woman.

It is clear that ben just lives with his girlfriend but keeps this other place as a fall back just in case the girlfriend thing falls through, (which, in result, helps the relationship along because it doesn't make the girlfriend feel trapped).

this article was almost as bad as the article about the gucci bag (or w(ever)tf) that was written by one of the olsen twins - total waste.

Why would anybody spoil an Allman Brothers Concert by smoking a marijuana cigarette???

Gangolo, I totally agree with you. The only thing worst than the "My Roommate has a Girlfriend" article was another article in the City section about someone who posts messages in the elevator of the reporter's building.

I'm not kidding, the reporter actually writes about a flier that read "Please be respectful or, at a minimum, buy a rug." It's as if the NYT decided to stop reporting news, and instead, just to daily blog their insipid lives.

I can't wait until arthur sulzberger retires.
