Election officials in Rensselaer County in upstate New York sent out hundreds of absentee ballots with this unfortunate spelling error.
A Sarah Palin impostor went around New York campaigning and signing autographs as the McCain running mate.
Movie Buzz A video of a quick trip to New York, as captured by an iPhone in the style of a French picture romain. A short and strangely charming travel story.
Culture Buzz Joan Acocella, a Manhattanite herself, answers in Smithsonian why her fellow city dwellers are so often thought to be rude - it's because they're smart! As New Yorkers, we must admit we would have trouble imagining Ms. Acocella coming to our overpriced, underwhelming outer-borough apartment and thinking us Mensa material.
Politics Buzz The name of the prostitution ring that was busted and inevitably brought Eliot Spitzer down with them. High-priced call girls were rated on a scale of diamonds. Sounds classy! Unfortunately for most of us, a one-diamond hooker still costs us an entire paycheck.
Politics Buzz A New York appeals court ruled on Friday that same-sex marriages performed in other states or countries must be recognized in New York, the first known ruling of its kind in the country. First the Superbowl, and now we get gay marriage too?? An amazing week.
Movie Buzz With a new trailer, a new official site (plus several new viral marketing sites), buzz for the secret J.J. Abrams Movie is building steadily. As long as it's better than Snakes On A Plane, we'll all be happy. Update: Cloverfield reviews have been great so far!
