While part of me is relieved that fewer obnoxious brats will be warming all over downtown like roaches, I'm sure the truly undeserving will still find a way to pay. I really doubt that Mort has gotten to the point where he is re-using tea bags. He coulnd't come up with SOME kind of money?
If this means there will be less NYU students cutting me in line at the Angelika and hogging all the seats at Dojo I'm all for it.
I still remember the old days when NYU, the New School and Parsons only had a few thousand undergrads, most of them commuters.
I was thinking they could put a little shopping cart button at the end of articles about companies or funds that let you buy, sell, or short the stock immediately. Take a transaction fee.
Or run a huge banner for weed on the first page, with 20% off the consultation for your weedneeder card.
Oh, yes. The media here is so blatantly biased in favor of the Palestinians. They have such a powerful lobby in Washington, and so many friends who own major news outlets.
Mort has zero credibility on this issue--and the Huffpo commenters rightfully tore him to shreds.
It's funny but I've reached a point in my political existence where listening to either an Israeli or a Palestinian is equally distasteful. When I meet either one, my brain immediately starts whistling the theme song from I Love Lucy.
So congratulations, I and P. You've achieved real equality. Everyone in north america hates both of you, and is simply too polite to tell you to your face.
Whoa motherfucker. Let's just examine the month of January (during the fighting in Gaza):
Israel
Total killed: 13
Soldiers killed: 10
Civilians killed: 3
Total wounded: 518
Soldiers wounded: 336
Civilians wounded: 182
Palestinians
Total killed: between 1,166 and 1,417
Militants and policemen killed: between 491 and 709
Civilians killed: between 926 and 295
Total wounded: 5,303
Look at the numbers of civilians killed. Even if the Israeli count is correct, they still killed 10 times more civilians than the Palestinians did. If the Palestinian count is correct, Palestinian civilian deaths were 30 times greater than Israeli civilian deaths.
"Outrages like these do not make it into the Western media, which exhibit the familiar phenomenon of monitoring only the conflicts that are the flavor of the month."
If only Mort had some medium to tell this to the world, other than through his shitty little blog on HuffPo.
@saythatscool: LOL. No kidding - no wonder the medium is dying, even its owners don't use it. You can be sure Charles Foster Kane would not have blogged or twittered!
@formerly it takes a lot to laugh: If only someone would put him on tv. He could tell us all about what's really happening in Israel. But those fucking media barons prevent him from doing anything.
Every time I look at that Miley 'n' Friends picture, I end up the most pissed at the guy doing the Charlie Chan thing with his hand in front of his mouth. Someone needs to punch that guy. Hard.
It is not a coincidence that Mickey and Courtney have gotten together the same week that two satellites have collided in space. The satellites were instantly turned into space dust. Mickey and Courtney will be next.
Kate Hudson, I thought I already despised you as much as was civilian-to-star possible. Rich people's bathrooms are supposed to be tranquil, spa-like retreats, not sweaty, chafing home gyms.
The whole Mickey Rourke-Courtney Love thing doesn't bother me. If you think about it, Mickey is the only human being that hasn't seen some part of Courtney Love naked due to his hiding under a big rock for the past twnety years.
