Girls Just Wanna Have Fun... On Roosevelt Island
Legend Of Zelda Wizard Can't GIVE These Swords Away In Brooklyn
It's tough out there for a wizard, as this photo demonstrates! All you want to do is help people out with their quest to rescue Princess Zelda, but nobody shows the slightest interest in accepting your aid. So you're reduced to putting up fliers outside DUMBO delis practically begging every Tom, Dick, and Link to take a free Master Sword—and you still don't have any takers. Don't these people get it's dangerous out there, and they're gonna need this thing to make it past Ganon in Stabber Alley? Whose Triforce does an old man have to Dodongo to unload these things?!

Rangel, Of All People, Offers His District Tax Advice
The Daily News noticed an interesting mailing from Rep. Charles Rangel to his constituents in Harlem: A "glossy, full-color" flyer with tax season tips, which has Rangel saying, "Hopefully, the information in this guide can help put money back into your pockets," while the flyer itself adds, "This mailing was prepared, published and mailed at taxpayer expense." Rangel, of course, has been notoriously terrible with filing taxes on his various investments or home sales, even though he chaired the House Ways and Means Committee, which writes the tax code (he recently stepped down). One resident reflected, "Well, I think if anyone is going to tell you how to pay - or not pay - taxes, he's your guy."
