Tuesday, May 17, 2011
The prayers of generations of religious poultry have finally been answered. Chinatown Fair, the video game arcade on Mott St. which boasted the semi-famous “Tic-Tac-Toe Chicken”–by the way, you don’t wanna know how they made it “play” the game–is now closed.

Saturday, October 17, 2009
The CIA, that’s who. Today’s New York Times details Agency stonewalling over 295 documents relating to George Joannides, an agent working with anti-Castro Cubans out of JM/WAVE, their Miami station. Groups under Joannides’ direction “publicly clashed with” Lee Harvey Oswald. These clashes were some of the most significant ways that Oswald’s personal politics–in other words, [...]
