On April 25, 2008 11:29 AM in Early Addition, they said:

"Early Addition" is our current best title for the morning news roundup. Credit goes to Dave Hogarty. Jen liked the pun, and also the resonance with "Extra, Extra" at the end of the day. If anyone ...

On April 24, 2008 11:29 AM in Morning Dose, they said:

On March 16, 2008 10:30 PM in JP Morgan Buys Bear Stearns for Pennies on the Dollar, they said:

on the upside, this might be a pretty good deal for JP Morgan. They have the assets to ride out a long credit crunch, and when things settle down, they'll probably carve up the corpse of BS at a huge...

@thedroog-- are you kidding me? this is the proudest moment of my photoshop life. this is getting framed and replacing my prized signed southpark print ("don't encourage them, they'll only do it mor...

when i need a definition of hypocrisy, i'm going to refer back to this post. if you can't unionize at the tenement museum, where can you unionize?...

On March 5, 2008 10:02 AM in Stuyvesant Town, Desperate for Renters?, they said:

huge surprise-- few people want to pay luxury rents ($3000+) for apartments in a middle class project. and even less people want to pay those rates when every blog in NYC has been publicizing tishman...

On March 4, 2008 11:07 PM in Clinton Wins Ohio, Texas; Obama Still Has More Delegates, they said:

when will this madness end? this is going to totally suck for the democrats-- three more months of them ripping at each other-- until eventually a completely damaged candidate emerges, and then promp...

On February 12, 2008 10:45 PM in Obama, McCain Sweep Virginia, Maryland and D.C. Primaries, they said:

Obama is going to win. Tonight I really felt that for the first time. He looks and sounds like he's leading a movement-- and compared to him, when McCain took the stage, he looked small and old, and...

On February 12, 2008 4:38 PM in NYC Graffiti Nearly Doubled in '07. Or Did It?, they said:

i used to live down the block from these eyesores. while they were occasionally fun to photograph (as in the tilt-shift shot above), they were terrible for the neighborhood. when NYU bulldozed tho...

On February 6, 2008 11:36 AM in ME's Office on Heath Ledger's Death: Accidental Overdose, they said:

i think it stretches the truth to call an overdose of six different kinds of drugs "accidental". taking drugs in that kind of volume is suicidal behavior-- you know it's going to kill you eventually....

On February 5, 2008 2:21 PM in Fans Tackle Giants Super Bowl Gear, they said:

why are championship designs always so ugly? surely you could get some good NYC t-shirt designers on that, and make something really cool. i'd like to see the aNYthing/bathingape/thehundreds version...

my prediction: obama wins an overwhelming victory among young people (age 18-36), but loses the primary in new york. old people get up early and vote-- young people go to ticker-tape parades. ...

On February 4, 2008 9:34 AM in Guerrilla Marketing Painted With Poor Taste, they said:

@ eyekantspel -- i think we've got a very consistent view of free speech. we're in favor of individual citizens speaking their mind and we're in favor of artists expressing themselves. when it comes...
