I’ve wrangled a large portion of my posse to attend tomorrow’s Body & Soul party at Pacha. I’ve only been to two Body & Soul parties: the final event and 2004’s Reunion Party. Both were just tear-the-roof-off-the-sucker out of this world. I’m hoping for more of the same. Aaron tells me the last reunion party drew 6500 crazies. We plan …

I like Rosie O’Donnell. Despite the Tom Cruise nonsense, despite the “ching-chong” controversy, I think she is one ballsy bitch dyke. And this recent hilarity that the tabs are calling “Rosie O’Donald” just reinforces my admiration. But America doesn’t feel the same, apparently.

If you’ve never had a cigarette, the first one gets you kinda high. Wasn’t expecting that.

Yesterday’s open thread made me snap this pic of Miss Lee’s establishment on East 60th Street near Bloomingdales.

Yesterday I got an email from a friend who recently left NYC for Fort Lauderdale: Hopefully by the time Spring rolls around, I’ll be back in NYC full-time. I don’t know how you handled living down here. I am BORED OUT OF MY MIND. The only thing saving my sanity is that I have some decent friends down here. I …

Red: Bush Approval RatingBlue: War Worth It.Green: Did Right Thing/Not A Mistake.(via – Andrew Sullivan)Over on The National Review, John Derbyshire nicely sums up the bizarre logic Bush handed us last night: —-We can’t leave Iraq without a victory.—-Unless Maliki & Co. get their act together, we can’t achieve victory.—-If Maliki & Co. don’t get their act together, we’ll leave. …

I found this giant Red-Tailed Hawk enjoying a pigeon in Central Park. A nearby photographer mentioned that this particular hawk is the son of the famous Pale Male, the hawk that lives on Mary Tyler Moore’s balcony and has created so much controversy. I say we import another couple of thousand hawks. Kill all dem pigeons! Kill ’em now! Related: …
