I Continue To Hate The MTA.

Went to doctor’s appointment with Teresa. Afterwards, she went to the Manhattan-bound F, I went to a deli to get coffee and then went to the Coney Island-bound F (or G). As I descended the stairs, someone on their way up told me there was no train service. No F, no G. So I walked to Court Street and waited (in the snow) for a B75 bus (which soon won’t be an option!) that took its sweet-ass time. I got home at 11:15. I texted Teresa to make sure she got out OK, but still haven’t heard back.

The MTA is just lousy. Please sue them, Justin.

BAMSHELL!

Evan Bayh quits Senate: ‘Won’t run for president’ (wink, wink)

The Post insists that the reason Bayh won’t seek re-election is that he wants to be POTUS. What they don’t suggest is that maybe (just maybe) Cindy Adams was right about Joe Biden not being VP next term… and maybe Evan Bayh will.

Of course, it makes for a better front page to accuse Bayh of lying (wink, wink) about his intentions. Journalism, shmournalism.

Jessica Simpson makes page 3 (Less of Jess) to let us all know that “An elegant — and slimmed-down — Jessica Simpson shows off her glorious gams in a sultry spread for the new issue of Allure.”

Sadly, she remains an idiot.

“A nasal spray containing a hormone that makes women more maternal and men less shy apparently can help those with autism make eye contact and interact better with others, according to a provocative study released yesterday.”

Wait… there’s a nasal spray that makes men less shy? And women more maternal? What does that even mean (besides disproving global warming)?

3% of (polled) New Jerseyans voted George Washington as their favorite POTUS. 5% voted for FDR, Abraham Lincoln tied with Barack Obama at 7%, JFK got 11% and 22% chose Bill Clinton. And the winner with 24%? Ronald Reagan.

But… where’s Bush? And/or Bush?

You know the transit hub at (what used to be) the World Trade Center? The one that keeps getting pushed back? Well now folks are saying there’s a 25% chance that it will be complete by mid-2014 (three years later than its original deadline). Now folks are saying 2015. At the earliest.

War criminals.

The MTA decided to change up the schedules for the C and D trains until Saturday. The C is now an express train and the D now runs local on the C’s route.

No warning, no heads-up. This is just how it is now. Hopefully, you didn’t learn this the hard way.

War criminals.

We caught the Taliban’s top military commander!

From here on out, it should be smooth sailing! Mission accomplished!

First the guy who wrote “My Sharona” dies, now it’s the guy who wrote “Susie-Q.”

The guy who wrote “Popcorn” had better finish writing his will.

A guy pulled a knife during a Guns N’ Roses show at the Gramercy Park Hotel, but Sebastian Bach saw him (while standing on a banquette) and proclaimed “Nobody is getting anywhere near my man Axl Rose with a knife” and alerted security, who removed the man without incident.

Axl Rose later insisted that he has no idea who Sebastian Bach is.

Cindy Adams claims that Paris Hilton “likes being named after a capital. If ever she has kiddies, she’ll name them similarly. Boy, London; girl, China.”

Um… yeah.

Rich Lowry explains why global warming is all bullshit in ‘Warming’ Meltdown.

Directly below is Floyd Flake’s Aqueduct: The Community’s Needs, which explains why the group that was awarded the racino contract will do a great job and everyone should be pickled tink to be alive in a state where such wondrous things occur.

I can’t decide who is more full of shit, Rich or Floyd.

The Nets have 30 games left in their season. At best, they will finish 34-48. At worst, 4-78.

The Quest For Five Wins continues tonight against Charlotte.

Good luck, Worst Team Ever!

Linda Stasi watched The Ricky Gervais Show and “laughed so loud that I practically had to be restrained in the office.”

Which is why she gave it three stars.

Get in Cindy’s box, Linda.

And that’s the end of that chapter. Stay warm and dry and come back tomorrow.
