- A Chinese food delivery man in the Bronx was shot in the head but survived as robbers tried to get away with his cash along with the fake order of pork fried rice, fried chicken and French fries.
- A 300-pound statue built to commemorate a 19-year-old who died of viral encephalitis was stolen from the Commack Public Library.

- The neighbors were nervous as a new crane was placed at the East 91st Street site where two workers died in May.
- When asked to choose between a list of cool New Yorkers to have dinner with (including Spider Man), Mayor Bloomberg said he'd pick Tina Fey and then sounded a tad creepy when asked what they would discuss, "That'd be private."

It's good to know the delivery guy survived the shooting. "fake order of pork fried rice, fried chicken and French fries." Any description of the perps?
the fake order of pork fried rice, fried chicken and French fries
Somebody's not eating too healthy ...
Any order of fried chicken and french fries from a Chinese restaurant should be suspect.
Chinese fried chicken is quite good actually.
At any given time, The NY Times could easily find and spotlight six people in dire economic straits. It's way too early in this latest grueling round of carnage to gauge its impacts. Banks and other businesses are still burning through on hand capital. When they do have to return to the window and pay a higher premium on credit, then we'll see things get ugly. Not a good time to be a clerk at Tiffany's.
Bloomberg IS a creepy old fuck.
Any description of the perps?
Please, they most likely are black. What other ethnic group would shoot someone in the head for fried chicken? I'm just stating some common sense here.
In reference to the Times article: Maybe I am naive, but a 79 year old single woman cant make it on 5 grand a month after taxes? The article states she is 2 grand a month short of her expenses. That means she can only "get by" on 84 grand a year after taxes. Do people here really know how the rest of the country lives, needless to say most of the planet? Things are so askew on this little island.
reacenyc, i think you're on to something...
me with 5 grand a month after taxes: satisfied and shutting the fuck up about any problems i had "getting by," because if i had those problems, they'd be because of my own stupidity and nothing else...
That NY Times article is depressing.
