    In reply to Dating in New York: as Simple as Surviving a Plane Crash
    See what I do when I'm in a good mood, kids? Best though is to find your future spouse at a pro-life gathering outside a baby holocaust gulag aka abortion clinic. As the hairy legged lesbionic feminists walk past you, you and your future DH/the wife can yell out 'babykilling slut!'

    OMG, like total jinxxx, sexxxy stranger! We said the same thing at once! Soul mates 4eva like totes! See? It's a way more heartwarming story than this one.

    Good things happen when you believe. Keep your hearts open, kids. Love will always find its way in.

    This is going to be so awkward if it doesn't work out.

    Off-topic, but when people note the difficulty of finding a partner in New York, I can't help wondering what more-gigantic metropolises they must have come from, in order to find the NY pickings so comparatively slim. Tokyo? Mexico City? Coruscant?

    @skahammer: I don't think the difficulty is so much in finding people, as it is in developing and maintaining relationships with them.

    @Niko Bellic: An uncommonly thoughtful response. You're still going to have a hard time convincing this ex-small-towner that metropolis-style numbers aren't overwhelmingly helpful there too -- but I can kind of see what you're getting at.

    @skahammer: when there are so many fucking people to fuck, it's more difficult to justify sticking with just one. Especially when the next person you meet (which, like niko said, happens often and easily) could turn out to be the most interesting person ever born or something. Basically, everyone has metropolis-induced ADD.

    did the writer really use the verb "to crash"

    "offered to let him crash at her place"

    Oh, so local populations don't get displaced by gentrification. Another reason Pareene was COMPLETELY WRONG in his anti-Bloomberg rant.

    The pool at my local community centre used to have "clothing optional" nights due to the heavy population of hippies, but they had to give those up when the yuppies started complaining. I mean, they were 10pm-midnight, it's not like Precious and Skylar were getting forced out of their baby aquafit classes so Grandpa could get his freak on or anything.

    Damn yuppies. Get offa my mushroom garden!

    As I understand it, "real" journalism is giving awesome rates to your underwhelming "friends" (RE: associates, maybe someone you met once at an event), but underpaying everyone else on your staff, raving on and on about ethics (before catering content to appease dwindling advertisers), and acting as if this whole business is some kind of fraternity that anyone under the age of 30 would JUST NOT GET.

    Am I about right? Close enough?

    When he said "you won't see him at Michael's shmoozing," Heileman was speaking literally, meaning Howie Kurtz won't see Moss at Michael's or anywhere else because Kurtz rarely pops his head out of his hobbit-hole in Chevy Chase, Maryland.

    In reply to Nobody Loves Weepy VP Joe
    Biden was the most inscrutable choice, ever, for VP. Instead of "change" Obama brought out an old hack, who had trouble with both truth telling, even during the campaign, and with inserting his foot into his mouth. Oh, to know what kind of negotiation that was, to get him on the ticket---except, perhaps to allay terrified old white guys who feared a woman and a (half)black man on the ticket would bring on the apocalypse. #joebiden

    apparently I am in the minority, but I love Joe Biden! I think he's like the lovable Steve Urkel of the White House. He comes in, says stupid stuff, knocks shit over, and is like "Did I do that?" Oh Joe. #joebiden

    Joe Biden is everything thats wrong and fucked up with congress. This dope won his seat in the Senate when he was 29 and has never had another job until being VP. He has learned about as much about how the country works from his perch in DC as Palin learned about Russia from staring at it. He is walking proof we need term limits.

    And he doesn't drink. I don't trust people who don't drink, unless they've already been alcoholics. #joebiden
