THANK YOU, Jack.

You may have seen this one. It's been making the rounds. Cafferty manages to say what the rest of us are thinking.



I mean, you've gotta be kidding, right...?



Is is just me, or is the similarity between Palin and this genius more than a little unsettling....?



Spooky, right...?

P.S. Obama's going to win.

Tee-hee.

Hey, a PLAN?? What a novel idea...

Had Enough/Can't Get Enough #6

So... this was originally supposed to be a weekly segment, but in true CYPJN?! fashion, my intentions and my output rarely jell. (The last installment of this "weekly" feature was in April, 2007.)

Here's a list of what's got me both flummoxed and fired up this week...

HAD ENOUGH

• Gatsby's incessant yowling at 9:30 every night for no good goddamn reason


• Braveheart's incessant yowling at 3:30 every morning for no good goddamn reason


• Sarah Palin buzz


• Joint pain


• PC issues


• Being someone I'm not 40 hours a week


• Lunch options at the World Financial Center


• 80's nostalgia permeating Fashion Week


• Transitional hair


• The bullshit wine stores on Ditmars


• The Mets getting ready to squander yet another near-guaranteed playoff slot

CAN'T GET ENOUGH

• My new Blackberry


• This Jeffrey McDaniel poem


• The Missus' beauty blurbs on Shecky's


• The following albums: Max Richter "The Blue Notebooks", Elbow "The Seldom Seen Kid", Friendly Fires (eponymous), Lou Reed "Coney Island Baby", Nomo "Ghost Rock", Conor Oberst (eponymous), The Church "After Everything Now This", Johann Johannsson "Englabjorn"


• The new Kings of Leon single


• Mad Men - Could this show be any more fantastic? That was rhetorical. The answer is no... No, it could not.


• Californication - We JUST started watching this. Officially got caught up on the first season and are eagerly awaiting the Season Two premiere on the 28th.


• The Diving Bell & The Butterfly - Ugh... God. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. We're still talking about it. Really beautiful.


• ALWAYS getting a seat on the N in the morning because Ditmars is the end of the line


• The skewered, fried mussels at Aegean Cove


• Our king size Tempurpedic mattress


• Most of John Varvatos' Fall '08 collection


• Planning our mid-January getaway

Looks like I'm heavier on raves than rants this week. I guess I'm growing...

I'll take "Totally Fucking Obvious Causes Of Death" for $400, Alex....

Man, Woman Found Fatally Shot In Head In NYC (AP) ―
A man and a woman have been found shot dead inside a Manhattan apartment.Police say they went to the apartment Sunday afternoon and found 72-year-old Arlene Coffey and 54-year-old David Coffey shot in their heads. Both were pronounced dead at the scene, where a .22-caliber revolver was recovered. The medical examiner's office will try to determine the causes of their deaths.

"Hmmmmm.... Let's see.... I don't know, Sarge... Other than the .22 and the bullet holes in each of the victims' skulls, I can't imagine any other reason why they both would have died at the same time and with blood-gushing gapes in their melons. We better send 'em over to the M.E.'s office for tests..."

You've got.

To be fucking.

Kidding me.

Up Here, Down There

Has it really been 7 years? Crazy.

Thank God I wasn't working down here back then.

From my office window...From MSNBC...
I don't think I could ever have imagined myself feeling this emotionally removed from the whole thing. Especially given my close physical proximity to the site.

I usually feel a twinge of something on the anniversaries. Sadness, anger, something eerie, something sensorial, something particular. Something.

But today just feels like a Thursday.

Actually, it feels like an even less noteworthy Thursday than most other Thursdays.

I don't know why.

(sigh)... I'm Back

Details later.

For now, read this.
