DAILY BRIEFING











Lemme get this right. Plastering a happy sock is fine, but the nanosecond it touches an egg, it’s murder? How do the authorities establish the moment of conception without violating several rights of privacy?
Sara, I noticed that you posted at 9:11. Some sort of insidious subliminal campaign to get Giuliani on the ticket?
Wow, I guess if you live in Iraq, then Syria *would* be a vacation in comparison.
Thank you to the American Apparel gods for the Unisex Pinpoint Oxford Shirt. That lucky Pierre ad was beyond the pale.
Servo: The authorities know when you’re going to get laid long before you know.
