    In other news, Alec Baldwin was arrested for punching a man in the face in a dispute over a parking spot on East 10th Street today. And this used to be such a nice, safe neighborhood.

    Re: Baldwin

    To paraphrase Winona in Heathers: What the hell is his damage? I remember when Alec rode his bike up the wrong way on 5th Ave, got caught by the cops and berated them for stopping him.

    This is what passes for famous progressive figures in New York. Which includes de Faustio, all the usual hack democrat suspects in City Council and Mario's dumbass son Andy (vote for Howie Hawkins)

    Seeing the Beastie Boys again was refreshing even if it was marred by being interviewed by Fallon. Watch how irritated Adam was during Jimmy's overt enthusiasm.

    @JQ I watched part of Fallon's interview with them it was tedious. He's forever giggling and lacks even the most basic interview skills.
