In weird Big Brother news of the day, a conservative think tank is using the Freedom of Information Act to request emails containing Rachel Maddow's name. The targets are professors at three major universities. It's the latest in a similar series of attacks, and an unclear, if eerie, violation.
The Bronx Zoo cobra is still on the loose, wandering New York, tweeting like mad, and generally capturing the imagination of the public. And now, we have a photo diary of his exploits.
In more New York posting, this video of the Times Square subway stop has just surfaced. It was shot by a German tourist... in 1986. Times have changed.
And finally, in more somber news, this junior-high student who says she's been bullied every day since sixth grade was noticed by the local news (and then the internet) after she made this heartbreaking, anti-bullying video.

Jeaneology - I know its not being a snarky jerk some times but if you work at it you might get there. Its a great place to be.
Huh? It's not what being a snarky jerk? And what kind of man has the first name "Rachel?"
Maddow link takes to craigslist posts...
I don't have the opportunity to watch Maddow very often but she seems like a very likeable young man.
Thanks for the subway link. It's easy to forget what a pit the subways used to be. I didn't even remember the K train (though I do remember the CC -- local trains on the IND line had double letters, AA, BB, CC, and expresses were single letters). Those shots of the 2 and 3 lines really remind one of why they were known as The Muggers' Express (and yes, I did once get mugged on a 2/3 train, back around 1979). Giuliani had his many, many flaws, but at least now you can ride the subway any time of the day or night and feel safe. Back then, outside of rush hour, you never felt safe.
