  • From the Gothamist Newsmap: a serious assault and robbery at Hoyt and Fulton Sts, an aided struck on platform at the Queensboro Plaza Station and fumes/victims on Courtland Ave in the Bronx.
  • The federal government has approved the swine flu virus vaccine. (Editor's note: the Feds DO NOT APPROVE of the virus.)
  • 70% of New Yorkers are still mad at the State Senate—come on, remaining 30%, were you on vacation this summer?
  • At former police commissioner Bernard Kerik's federal corruption trial, jurors will be asked how they feel about Rudy Giuliani.
  • NYC and London are sharing advertising space—and best practice on promoting local tourism: "London gets space to advertise on 71 New York City bus shelters for four weeks a year. New York gets 250 posters on the London Underground system for four weeks, twice a year."
  • Global warming is harming beer/wine production. Maybe this will sell us on solar panels?
  • The FCC is still on a witch hunt over Nipplegate.
  • And a Queens woman didn't mean to suffocate her allegedly abusive father—just shut him up while she cut off his penis.

Will you be doing any live coverage of the election returns tonight?

God's note:

Ha! Ha! Ha! "Editor's note"! Good one...."Editor"!
Words mean, like, whatever, yeah! Just what is an "Editor," anyway, and who gets to define?

Amusing diction, intentional or otherwise.

Are you sure the Feds don't approve of the swine flu? Just like the AIDS and the 9/11?

Truth!
