The 48 year-old Gordon has been arrested and charged with assault and could be fired. The MTA's spokesman says the MTA "will not tolerate aggressive behavior of any kind against our customers" and plans to investigate. Gordon could disciplined or dismissed if found to be at fault. The Post notes that 160 token booths will be closed this year.

Tonight marks the premiere of Comedy Central's new show, I'm With Busey, where a Busey fan hangs with Gary Busey. Phil Gallo of Variety says it might be addicting:

Court TV's extensive site dedicated to the Robert Blake trial.
