Trash Can Art

This was stuck onto the trash can downstairs from my apartment on the corner of Clinton & Delancey.

Junkie Du Jour

Junkies can be funny to watch. Today's junkie with dreads was swaying back and forth in front of the Burger King on Delancey Street. A lit cigarette dangled from his mouth. Both hands were cradled around a large partially eaten corn muffin he held in front of his torso just above waist level. Every few seconds he would lift the muffin a few inches toward his mouth. Then a look of confusion would radiate out from his eyes and he would lower the muffin again. He really wanted to eat some of the muffin but it appeared he couldn't figure out how to make that happen given the lit cigarette already positioned between his lips.

The Invisibly Greased Palm

(The fictional) Abe Jackemoff, former head Republican lobbyist honcho of the K Street Project and current penitentiary inmate, was caught on tape: "We've taken Adam Smith's Invisible Hand, grafted a greased palm onto it, and created The Invisibly Greased Palm, which is just another way of describing how the Republican Congressional majority (which will return by 2012) operates."  


Ron's note: The Democratic Congressional majority is certainly no stranger to The Invisibly Greased Palm.
