I realize that this is not the place for sensible discussion, especially since I am an evil white, male, republican, hertrosexual, Trump supporter. BUT - I was friends with a man named Harry Bellaver. Harry was an actor with a long resume. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0068772/. He was in Miss Sadie Thompson with Rita…

Hi. I am a 1993 graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts, MFA (Alex Baldwin was in my graduating class He brought Kazoos and a beach ball to graduation in Washington Square Park ).

I thought it was racist to attack a person for their skin or hair color? Have the rules changed?

Tried to buy this.  Amazon says its not a real offer.  What is the deal?

Really? Faking a racial hate crime to stir up hate and anger, impune the President and his supporters as bigots and potentially cause a riot just to get a pay raise when you are already a One Percenter in your profession is not a big deal? Good to know.

“Lowering the Bar to the White House”? Compared to whom? A “Community Organizer ”from Chicago (Obama), a peanut farmer from Georgia (Carter), an actor turned politician from California (Reagan), and a failed hat maker from Missouri (Truman) have all been President in the last 80 years. How is a businessman from Queens…

Yes, but those immigrants, and others, are also getting a ready made store, brand awareness and a national ad campaign. They also have training programs where they teach you how to make the product and run a store. Many of these immigrants come from countries where they do not eat deli sandwiches so they learn to make…

Not necessarily. It is actually normal for doctors to have offices in their homes. Where I grew up in the suburbs of New York City, there were many doctors, dentists and even accountants, who had split level homes with the office in the back of the house. Now, if you mean Mr. Cosby’s choice of that speciality for his…

The problem with this belief is that what was not publicly known at the time, remember no internet, was that Kennedy’s seat was higher then the front seats and tilted to allow the President to be seen by the crowd. Jim Garrison had no way of knowing that as the Secret Service did not, and still does not, disclose such…

First, the US Constitution does not grant Congress the authority to interfere with state or local taxes. Each state has their own laws on how taxes are assessed. Some states have no income tax but high sales tax for example.

Hi David:
Great piece. I am surprised that you were able to stay that last two weeks and not get dragged out by security. Can you explain why you gave up a somewhat stable engineering job for a writing job at a website that might or might not exist in a year (Gawker, Gothamist, etc)?

I feel really lucky that I got to climb inside the great pyramid and walk in the Queens Chamber. Back in 1981 that was still possible if you went with a dept of antiquities guide. Ours was from the Cairo Museum. We climbed inside along a long ladder in a corridor that was only a few feet high. We arrived in the…

Well researched and well written, and not a single curse word or gratuitous attack on Donald Trump. I hope Gawker Media (or whatever they are called now does not fire you!. Seriously, great article!

As to “analog” locks, does price buy a better lock?

That power strip/bed riser looks very dangerous. Is it UL approved? I don’t like an electrical appliance attached to the legs of a very flammable bed! If the bed is metal, that is evan a worse idea. Even if it is UL approved, you cannot attach a power strip (the bed riser) to another power strip. That would greatly…
