Good carrot cake is a thing of beauty. Moist, spicy, cream cheesy.

Given your take on Lahntz, can we get a ruling against super-white, WASPy people overdoing it on Hispanic names? Newscaster Muffy, his name is Angel Rodriguez, not AHN-hel Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrodriguessssss.

Gaaaaaaaahhhhh

I’ll say two words: Staten Island. Let the smart-ass commenters have their yuks. The lists of nice houses in excellent neighborhoods that cost $500K are long. Property taxes are 1/3 those of LI or NJ or Westchester, and you send your kids to free public schools (or cheap Catholic schools if that’s your thing). …

NYC is expensive. Just because someone lived there doesn’t mean they are entitled to continue so ad infinitum. Our taxes are high enough already. We spend countless billions on public housing and affordable housing, and it’s never enough. And then once we put low-income people up, they need food subsidies, and…

Yeah, I live in Staten Island, which these Park Slope fartsniffers would undoubtedly look down on. But I can hop in my car and be in the “cool” part of Brooklyn or Manhattan in a half hour. See a show, have a nice dinner, whatever, and then go home to my house which is valued at 1/3 their apartment and owned…

So they could live in Westchester, but then commute 3 hrs a day and never see the kids.

Pay off your mortgage!! Those financial advisors counseling you to take advantage of the mortgage deduction and “put your money to work elsewhere” are idiots. I bought a house in ‘98 with a 30-year mortgage, refinanced to a 15 in 2002, and had it paid off in full by 2010. There is no security like knowing your…

Yeah, they are not gonna have a problem drawing. Between Raider fans from the LA area making a couple hour drive, and tourists? Hell, I don’t even care about football but I would make a weekend around a Raiders game and some gambling and a show. They release the schedule in plenty of time for people to get cheap…

Giant fat guy having heart attack while resisting arrest =/= “choked to death for selling cigarettes”

Chop us a few fresh rosemary sprigs and put it in your flour mixture. Even if you don’t usually like rosemary. Frying it changes the flavor and gives your batter a sweetness that is almost indescribably delicious.

At the very minimum do the tenderizing outside, ‘cause that gets messy. Out in the yard you can wail away with the mallet and not care about spatter. Also, it allows you to say the sentence “I’m going outside to beat my meat” to your family, which NEVER gets old.

God, I hope this idiot doesn’t see this article...

“Otherwise stop arresting people for victim-less crimes.”

One the one hand it would be great to have all the best players on the US team, but if they did, this would quickly be as competitive as Olympic basketball.

Baseball can also be a great TV sport, depending on the quality of the broadcast. As a Mets fan I am ridiculously spoiled. Decades of Bill Webb (RIP) production, and the Gary-Keith-Ron troika is fantastic. Sometimes when I watch other teams games on MLB I can get why people consider baseball on TV dull. Those…

Soooo... if a convicted murderer wants a job in a child care center, you’re sending your kids there? Wouldn’t want to be elitist.

Another point of incarceration is to protect the public from harm. And this guy, well, he doesn’t exactly seem stable. I’d err on the side of bricking him up in a cell with no doors and never letting him see the light of day again.

Is it wrong that I am longing for more details? They never say the kid was killed by a drunk driver, it’s all “killed in a drunk driving accident”. I bet he was in a car a drunk was driving. Or maybe he was the drunk?

A teenaged girl jumped in front of a train at the station near my house. The story that came out was horrific - she was a foster kid new to the area, bullied and tormented, a couple of creeps on the football team had sex with her and then told everyone about it which led to even more mockery and exclusion. She went…
