OLYMPIC HEADLINES

The juvenile in me loves these two recent headlines from the American Olympic trials.

NEW WEBSITE UP!

My new website, China - The Whole Enchilada, is finally up. We're still tweaking, fixing, and adding, but feel free to stop on by and take a look around.

The site is to help promote my new show, China - The Whole Enchilada (ironically enough). It'll be at the NYC Fringe Festival in August. The show is the entire history of China in under 2 hours.

And hopefully I'll be able to get back to blogging on a regular schedule again soon!

SORRY KERMIT, IT'S EASY BEING GREEN

I know the Rover has posted this (and let me just say, it's good to see the Rover back in stride again. I thought we had lost him there for awhile) but it bears repeating.

This Sunday, June 22, the Sunset-Ridge Waterfront Alliance will host Greening the Ridge. It'll be a full day of music, games, and ideas of how to make the Ridge a greener, eco-friendly community.

Be there or be -- um -- not green.

DADDY WAS A BANK ROBBER

A new Valley National Bank has opened up on 3rd Avenue. Coincidentally, Bay Ridge police recently arrested a bank robber here in The Ridge.

Which begs the question: will the Valley National Bank have its doing business in Bay Ridge cherry popped by a bank robber?

WILLIE GO? YES!!

Willie Randolph was fired by the NY Mets today. Bench coach Jerry Manuel will replace him.

ME REED PURTY GUD IN KWEENS

I found out that the Queens City Council is proposing a nearly $7 million budget cut to Queens Libraries.

$7 MILLION!?

What the hell are they cutting? The buildings?

Last year they cut $2 million. At this rate, all hack comedians are going to have to substitute "Queens Library" for "Polish National Library."

Q: What happened to the Polish National Library?

A: Someone stole the book.

Let the Queens City Council know cutting $7 million from libraries is a disgrace by signing the Save Queens Libraries petition.
