    When will the biscuits go away? When oh when?!?! I'm so sick of reading about their stupid idea and their self congratulating statements. Shut UP!

    I stopped in for a biscuit the other day and I was disappointed because the outer layer was crumbly and the inside was soft. It was hard to eat. They need to work on their baking technique, though they probably should have worked that out before opening. They are also pricey.

    IN terms of the privatization of public parks, why the eff is Cooper Square sealed up for the winter? There is no construction taking place there. Its a attack against the students in my book. And they moved all the bike racks! Where is the outrage! Will there be a city standing by the time the Goonbergs are gone?

    Goddam WSJ kids. That's what happens when you let yourselves be taken over by an Australian.

    Items about the biscuit boys do not deserve to be mentioned here; JVNY, Flaming Pablum, The LoDown, WSP blog, these are heavy hitters. On contrary, the boys are in pee-wee league.
