They thought they'd never end, they'd sing and dance forever and a day, they'd live the life they choose, they'd dream and never lose, for they were young and sure to have their way. Spotted near my house in Ithaca: And yes, I will choose to use this opportunity to play for the...

I did not watch Herman Cain on the various news shows, but Memeorandum is relatively quiet, so I assume there were no major gotchas. Definitely get the sense the Occupy protests are getting uglier, not better.  The cream is not rising to the top, it's the...

In seven months, foie gras is going to be banned by California. The impetus for the bill was, of course, animal rights activists who claim that the fattened goose or duck liver promotes cruelty to animals. Naturally, chefs are fighting back and planning types of...

Scrolling through The Daily News' live blog of the Occupy Wall Street protest in Times Square yesterday, this photo and caption jumped out at me: Student loan debt a hot topic among Times Sq. crowd. "Student loans screwed up my credit!" one protester screamed while Shakina Nayfack,...

In many ways, it's worse than I originally thought, now that the names officially have been released. In addition to the planners of the Sbarro Pizza bombing, about which I blogged earlier, the releasees include the planners of many other high profile bombings, terrorist attacks which...

Quote of the day, from a mostly sympathetic Walter Shapiro writing in The New Republic (h/t @SissyWillis): How do I convey this respectfully as a veteran of the 1960s? This is not the 1967 Pentagon March or anything like it. Nothing I saw in New York this...

The bumper sticker below lists three reasons to vote for Obama.  He'll have to do better than that if he wants my vote.  Throw in "destroy the economy" and I'm there. Spotted by reader Leslie, who writes: Spotted in Jacksonville, FL at a union packing plant ...
