Thursday - They Are All Safe!!

Good morning everyone from The Greatest City In The World.

As with everyone else, I find the fact that the 33 miners and 6 rescue workers are now all safe and sound to be==>AMAZING!!

Last night I watched the final rescue worker reach the surface and felt a wave of relief that the mission was complete and successful despite overwhelming odds. Human spirit did indeed prevail.

I was absolutely appalled this morning when I got the morning papers to find that both The New York Post and The Daily News front page coverage was not about the successful completion of the rescue mission but ... get this ... that one of the workers was greeted by his mistress rather than his wife. Full front page pictures of them hugging, with the following headlines:

“HOLE-Y SNIT! Miner’s wife skips hubby’s rescue but mistress gets big smooch” - The Daily News

“HE’S ALL MINE. Mistress greets her man - as wife stays home” - New York Post.

This my loyal and faithful readers is repellant and tabloid journalism at its very worst. Shame Shame Shame!!

Billi Pod’s session with his dental hygienist was as uncomfortable as expected ... and, the rose had no effect because my dentist has a new dental hygienist. Oh well ... on to other stuff ...

A report card on EDWARD ALBEE'S ME, MYSELF & I==>WTF?<==as in what the f**k was that all about? It is a typical Albee mega-hyper word game, saved in the end by an extraordinary cast. It is, however, worth seeing, I think ... I guess ... I mean ... WTF ...

Quick YANKEES/RANGERS ALCS note before closing --

Manager Joe Girardi has announced that AJ Burnett aka Loser Boi will start in game 4 on Tuesday at The Stadium, so ... what does Loser Boi do in a simulated game yesterday? Why he hits two of his teammates, that’s what. Unf**king believable. Joe==>have you taken under-the-table money from some Texas oil tycoon, or, sold your soul to the Devil, or, simply just gone stark-raving mad? Hum ... or, maybe all three? Unf**king believable?

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
