'These Republican Schnooks Are So Horrible': Read an Interview with the Late Maurice Sendak
Taylor Berman · 11/04/12 08:49PM
I can't read the papers anymore. I just feel sorry for Obama. I want him so much to win. I would do anything to help him win. He's a decent, wonderful man. And these Republican schnooks are so horrible. They'd be comical if they weren't not funny. So. What's to say, what's to say? It's very discouraging.

On a day in which many New York City residents and visitors rallied to help areas ravaged by Hurricane Sandy, news emerged that the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center is flooded with at least five feet of water. The museum, which is still not completed, houses some of the more important artifacts from the 9/11 attacks, including the last column standing from the towers, the famous cross-shaped steel beam, and one of the tower's stairways.

If you're the President of the United States and you've already used up all the help you can get from George Clooney, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Sarah Jessica Parker, Gwen Stefani, Anna Wintour, Lena Dunham, and Zach Galifianakis even who do you turn to in your campaign's final push? The Obama team has had some pretty lame celebrity guests during these past few days. C'mon Barry, this is go time.
Verizon Employee Arrested for Stealing Naked Pictures Off of a Customer's Cellphone
MTanzer · 11/04/12 02:38PM
Dealing with a broken cell phone is pretty nightmarish. The thought of losing your precious contacts and funniest text messages is straight from the devil himself. Hopefully the workers fixing your prized mobile device will treat you better than a Verizon employee that helped a Florida waitress deal with some data loss. Josh Stuart told her that they were just switching the data from her old phone to her new one, but unbeknownst to her, he made copies of some x-rated nudie pics that she was storing on her cell phone.

Nickelback's Chad Kroeger Is a Total Anomaly, a Mean Canadian
MTanzer · 11/04/12 01:32PM
Canadians are supposed to all be super nice. That's what people say when you don't want to go on vacation to Montreal, "but Canadians! They're so nice!" Local obsession and New York 1 Pat Kiernan is the perfect example of a nice Canadian guy. His Norse-like features make him simply lovable and he's funny, but not too funny.
New York Daily News Endorses Romney
MTanzer · 11/04/12 12:32PM
Four years ago, the Daily News endorsed Obama, seeing a historic figure whose intelligence, political skills and empathy with common folk positioned him to build on the small practical experience he would bring to the world's toughest job. We valued Obama's pledge to govern with bold pragmatism and bipartisanship.

MTanzer · 11/03/12 03:03PM
One of the most frustrating parts of post-Sandy life has been the unendingly long lines for gas. Two arrests for violence at gas stations were made in Staten Island yesterday, and Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano announced yesterday that gas rations would come into effect today, limiting gas sales to ten gallons per driver.
Romney's New Attack Dog, Rudy Giuliani, Calls For Obama's Resignation
MTanzer · 11/03/12 02:04PM
Even though he's being attacked by idiots, Nate Silver is calling the election a complete lock for Obama which basically means it's over. So what's Mitt Romney to do now? Unless all of the state polls are totally off, he's going to be out of a job come next week. He needs one last trump card and the Donald isn't the man for the job. Romney is now hedging his bets on a last minute performance from Rudy Giuliani.

Everyone who has some free time this weekend should spend their hours volunteering. But after you do your great deeds, like donating food or clothes, you might be tempted to overshare about it. You will immediately want to run to the hilltops and scream, "Hey everybody, look how much good I did." Don't do this! You will lose all of the moral superiority that you just earned.

Lady Gaga's Monster Ball Tour grossed 227.4 million dollars, so it's expected that the touring industry wants to keep her happy. Live Nation wanted to make sure the Gags was at peak happiness so they gave her a 757 jet. She told her 30.8 million Twitter followers last night "So apparently LIVE NATION gave us a 757 I just cried on the tarmac. We tried to take a pic but its too big." That last part is such a humble-brag.

This is a video of Christina Aguilera performing "Beautiful" from last night's Sandy benefit concert on NBC. (Note: text "redcross" to 90999 if you want to donate). Billy Joel also performed "Miami 2017" and changed the lyrics to say that "Staten Island drowned," which gave everyone the shivers. Jimmy Fallon sang with Billy Joel, Sting, and Bon Jovi and smiled a lot.
