On October 10, 2008 12:57 PM in Brooklyn Rabbi Threatened Over Inhumane Kaparot Practices, they said:

What a waste. Couldn't they at least donate the chickens to food pantries afterward? Although I suppose there's the liability issue. ...

On October 10, 2008 12:51 PM in Cops Making Queensboro Bridge Bike Path Dangerous?, they said:

[29] Yup. Apparently, "thefacts" conveniently forgets that he's still around to complain about being hit by bikes, which was probably his fault as well. I'm willing to bet he has a "I've got the effin...

On October 10, 2008 12:41 PM in The New Eco Kiddies on the Block, they said:

From the mouths of babes. More power to them. It'll be their world in a few years, after all, and they're being left one hell of a mess....

On October 9, 2008 12:50 PM in Police Investigate Fatal Shooting of Sanitation Worker, they said:

Wait, a sanitation worker can afford a $60-75,000 SUV? Damn, I'm in the wrong line of work....

If not for term limits, ides of march would have voted for Dubya next month....

On October 8, 2008 10:33 PM in Spider-Man Musical Budget Swings Up to $40 Million!, they said:

Amazing. Peter Pan has been soaring over stages for decades. But somehow when Spider-Man has to do it, it costs 100 times more....

On October 8, 2008 6:13 PM in Worst Debate Ever?, they said:

It would be easy to fix the debates. Stop showing them live. Show them the next night after all the fact-checking has been done and add captions correcting every misstatement, lie, exaggeration, etc. ...

On October 8, 2008 1:02 PM in Man Arrested for Placing Bottles at Lincoln Tunnel, they said:

That's actually rather impressive. The police saw similar items "some time ago" and were still able to remember whose car it was? I wonder if they write down trivia like that in their reports....

On October 7, 2008 7:30 PM in Hillary Clinton Bests Sarah Palin (in Poll), they said:

[4] Oh, get off it. Clinton is an accomplished woman, with a law degree from Yale and more than a few achievements in the Senate. Palin couldn't get an advanced degree if her life depended on it. It t...

On October 7, 2008 7:19 PM in Evicted Rapist Says Landlord was Racist, they said:

The article gives no impression that his past was uncovered after the eviction. All it says is that her lawyer hired a private eye and uncovered his history. That could easily have happened before the...

On October 7, 2008 7:05 PM in Funeral for Taser Cop, they said:

I salute you Lt. Pigott, you did the right honorable thing. Too bad you have never done a right, honorable thing in your life, including having respect for the dead. I don't understand why the Rever...

On October 7, 2008 1:09 PM in Lehman CEO Fuld Blames Everyone But Not Himself, they said:

Too bad this story doesn't end like the remake of Fun with Dick and Jane. Slime like him deserve to lose everything....

On October 7, 2008 12:48 PM in Hillary Clinton Bests Sarah Palin (in Poll), they said:

I would have really enjoyed a VP debate between Clinton and Palin. Clinton wouldn't have had to pull her punches for fear of being called sexist. Palin has no gravitas. She wouldn't know gravitas if i...

On October 6, 2008 6:41 PM in Dow Ends the Day Below 10,000, they said:

How about that. I called it out last week or the week before about the DOW dropping below 10,000. You're late. I wrote three months ago that it would be heading for the basement....

On October 6, 2008 12:53 PM in Peace Out Cookie Puss: Original Carvel Closes, they said:

Ah, Tom Carvel and Frank Perdue, kings of the kitschy commercial. Those were the days....

On October 5, 2008 9:11 PM in Loved Ones Express Remorse, Anger Over Taser Cop's Death, they said:

"This man that did nothing wrong"? That's going a little too far, isn't it? He violated department regs and got a man killed for no reason. Not a capital offense, but hardly "nothing wrong."...

On October 5, 2008 9:08 PM in It's Okay for Straight Men to Love Cats, they said:

Wow. It is true. The comments in this post absolutely prove that men who don't like cats are insecure. Only insecure people need to go around calling others "insane" or "retarded." Besides, Gothamist...

On October 5, 2008 12:11 PM in Windsor Terrace: Keep Cars in Prospect Park, they said:

That's what happens when you don't treat bicycles as real vehicles. Most of the serious commuters and riders know what it's about. It's the casual riders who just jump on a bike without any preparatio...

On October 5, 2008 12:02 PM in Tabloids Bask in O.J.'s Conviction, they said:

"These jurors wanted payback, and they were going to have the payback to the day." Maybe they wanted payback because the earlier jury created a total miscarriage of justice. Those idiots brought the ...

On October 5, 2008 11:50 AM in Details Emerge About East 14th Street Fatalities, they said:

Just because "everybody does it" doesn't make it right....
