Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani
-Quote of the day-
Matt Taibbi, in Rolling Stone, on Rudy Giuliani's 'hero of 9/11' claims: "[Rudy's] political strength -- and he knows it -- comes from America's unrelenting passion for never bothering to take that extra step to figure shit out. If you think you know it all already, Rudy agrees with you. And if anyone tries to tell you differently, they're probably traitors, and Rudy, well, he'll keep an eye on 'em for you." (Rolling Stone)
-Takes one to know one...-
Let me quote the NYT: "A top Russia expert at the State Department issued an unusually sharp public criticism on Thursday of Moscow's behavior under President Vladimir V. Putin, describing the Kremlin as bullying its neighbors while silencing political opponents and suppressing individual rights at home." According to the report, the comments were 'approved by the White House.' The expert, David Kramer, was found to have unusually high levels of irony and hypocrisy in his bloodstream and is recovering from the statement under a doctor's care. (NYT)

-Googling 'drunk naked police' again-
Gary Bruce Comer Senior was arrested in Rogers Park in Murfreesboro, TN and charged with indecent exposure and public intoxication after police found him wandering naked in the park. Corner, who was drunk, told police 'he thought it would be fun to smoke crack cocaine and marijuana in the buff.' 'Wanted to' and 'could' are two different things -- notice how he wasn't charged with possession. In his defense, he didn't have any pockets.
It was one of three naked man complaints in the city that same day. "A man on a bicycle exposed himself to a woman under the Medical Center Parkway Bridge and other man flashed a female shopper in a Wal-Mart parking lot," the report reads. Murfreesboro is reportedly urging residents to find more home-centric hobbies. (Eyewitness News)
