    They look different enough. The Post is the one with the orange on it, and the Daily News is the one that's got a teensy, tiny shred of journalistic integrity on it. (Don't worry Daily News - hardly anyone can see it.)

    Wow. I never thought I'd see the day.


    I always just assumed that both papers had spies planted on each others staffs, thus making something like this an impossibility. Still, it's hard to believe that for all these years it's been blind luck thats kept this from happening.. How many times has this happened, by the way? Anybody?

    Did he really say "They've" instead of "they're" in reference to jamming his phone lines both times? Or did someone not catch a typo?


    Also, bitches and whores? Depending on which gay people were calling that could have been meant as the highest form of flattery! Seems to me he should focus a little more on respecting cultural differences!

    He just needs to call Ed Koch a fag and be done with it. Also, for future press releases, I'd suggest Ruben avoid using the word jamming in reference to gay people. It makes it sound like he's talking about an exciting new sex practice.
