Bunch Of Phonies Mourn J.D. Salinger - The Onion
emilyinternet: allthelatestmoves: frankhejl: The Onion nails it again! Love this (especially as a Catcher in the Rye fan). sufferbus: CORNISH, NH—In this big dramatic production that didn’t do anyone any good (and was pretty embarrassing, really, if you think about it), thousands upon thousands of phonies across the country mourned the death of author J.D. Salinger, who was 91 years old...

It’s funny how, when you wake up and look out the window to see that it’s snowing pretty heavily, your first thought is that you hope you’ll get a snow day at work like you used to at school when you were a kid.

One Nice Thing About Being Busy at Work is That It...
Yesterday’s segment about the Stuyvesant Town/Peter Cooper Village situation was very well done.  An excellent piece about real estate greed gone awry. And it reminds me of an old landlord of mine who I hope has lost everything, gone bankrupt and is homeless.  But that’s a story for another time.

Anybody Super Good with Tech-Related Stuff?
I’m trying to wade through the instructions for adding the podcast to iTunes, and they’re crazy complicated.  Several knowledgeable people have looked at them, and they only seem to make minimal sense. If anybody can help out, I’d be super grateful.  I can throw you a small amount of money, thank you effusively, buy you lunch at Lomyzianka or the Greenpoint Coffee House or...

I Just Ate Five Slices of Honey Maple Turkey...
There was absolutely no point in doing that at 1:15 a.m.  I should’ve just had a glass of water and gone to bed.  Ah well, what’s 150 calories that I’ll never burn off? Still, the cold cuts from my local Polish deli are absolutely amazing.  Always fresh.  And super cheap compared to anywhere else.

– From Gail Collins’ column in today’s New York Times.  I think this is pretty astute.  While Fox News is calling Scott Brown’s victory a referendum on Obama (unlikely, since his poll numbers aren’t terrible considering the miserable station of the nation as it currently...

But at least it’s done.  I’ll email the link with the files out tomorrow.  Fun stuff.  I’ll post some samples in the next week or two.

Jokes From George, Vol. 27
A few days ago, I emailed George a link to a New York Times article about how Italian cuisine from the Romagna region is starting to become more common in New York as evidenced by popular restaurants such as Maialino, La Carbonara and so on.  I also mentioned that I’ve been dying to make a recipe called pasta l’erbette, which is the oldest known pasta dish to still exist.  There are...

This would be more exciting if: 1) they hadn’t left out some of the credits for no discernible reason; and 2) there was an actual purpose to doing this other than it will stop everybody from asking me why the movie isn’t on IMDB. Have a look.

– Andrew Sullivan (via doublethink, mikehudack) (via azspot) This is so true.  The only party I put the blame on for Brown’s win in Massachusetts is the Democratic Party.  Way to screw yourselves, guys.  Tonight was a victory for the reality-deprived over the gutless.

Larry David tapped for WGA West award →
It’s about time Larry David got some recognition for the greatness of Curb Your Enthusiasm.  The fact that he wasn’t even nominated for the Golden Globe for best comedy on Sunday was a major, major disappointment to me.
