I guess the comparison to Obama was inevitable, and NBC goes full "deja vu" on the new Mayor of Ithaca, Svante Myrick. I wouldn't pigeonhole him yet; he ran an insurgent campaign against the entrenched Ithaca Democratic political establishment and also defeated the designated Progressive candidate.  He won with...

I'll try to remember to ask. Another one from reader Rick, who took this photo in Ithaca (at a stop light, of course) and writes: This one is non-political, but hilarious. If you don't get it, please ask me. ...

Listen up.  I'm sick and tired of your feel good faux-profundity. Does it make you feel good to buy those $4 lattes at Gimme Coffee?  Maybe you should put this bumper sticker on the car too. Spotted by an LI student reader in the Collegetown section of Ithaca: ...
