- Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: a ceiling collapse at Franklin Ave. and Union St. in Brooklyn, a pedestrian was fatally struck on Queens Blvd. in Woodhaven, Queens, and an unusual rescue on the south bound tower of the Throgs Neck Bridge in Queens.
- An undercover cop forgot to turn off the wire he was wearing while discussing 11 bags of cocaine he seized in a Brooklyn bust that were never turned in. He was also sure to repeatedly refer to black people using the "N-word." [No link yet, but we saw the story on NY1.]
- The mother of an escaped convict is telling him through the press to keep running, and knows some day he'll be exonerated of his crime. We foresee either a one-armed man eventually brought to justice or subsequent imprisonment in a South American jail.
- Civil disobedience on 5th Avenue. We did not realize this, but the city has offered free vendor licenses to military veterans since the Civil War. Dan Rossi is protesting the curtailment of the practice by parking his hot dog cart right in front of The Metropolitan Museum.
- There's an interesting installation at the Gavin Brown Enterprise on Greenwich St. created by artist Urs Fischer, who's dug a hole in the ground. It is an absolutely enormous hole in the ground.
- Michael Douglas is the new announcer for the NBC Nightly News. Anderson Cooper responds that he would also consider a celebrity announcer, like Fran Drescher, Clint Eastwood, Paul Reubens, or Cher.
- Macy's is going to stay open 24 hours a day until Christmas Eve. Those are going to be some tired elves.
- A siamese cat named Yoda was bludgeoned to death in an Upper East Side doorman building. Sarah Favorite, the girlfriend of Yoda's owner, was arrested and is being charged with aggravated animal cruelty.

The best part of the corrupt cop story:
"The two officers were heard talking to a third unnamed officer about a drug bust and how they confiscated 28 bags of cocaine, but only turned in 17 of them.
The district attorney did not comment on what happened to the missing bags. Neither officer has been hit with any drug charges."
Steal cocaine and not even a drug charge! Nice.
James Earl Jones is currently heading to Anderson Cooper's house to kick his ass.
What's with this "N" word problem thing? Nigeria is in Africa and a shortened reflection of the people that came from that country would come out as?
No pic of Sarah Favorite? I'd like to see what a cat murderer looks like...
I wonder what the action is like at Macy's 4 in the morning...

This is the link with the story:
The officers were caught after Johnstone unknowingly left a wire that he was wearing turned on. The two officers were heard talking to a third unnamed officer about a drug bust and how they confiscated 28 bags of cocaine, but only turned in 17 of them.
The district attorney did not comment on what happened to the missing bags. Neither officer has been hit with any drug charges.
Both officers have been suspended without pay.
They are due back in court in February.
I'd bludgeon her to death...
btw... it's just a joke. I wouldn't bludgeon her to death... just bludgeon her...
Oh hay so this is what the myspace of a cat-bludgeoner looks like.

The gallery is called Gavin Brown's Enterprise and it's one of the most bada$$ galleries in the city. Do some fact checking. That piece is incredible but Gothamist's art coverage is retardedly bad.
dwight schrute!
