Oy, Vat Are You Thinking?

Been meaning to post about a lot of random things the past couple of days, but haven't had the attention span. Couldn't resist though, when I came across this ad on Craig's List, a Bulletin Board service that can prove pretty useful in the otherwise hellish world of NY apartment hunting. "Kosher Apartment within walking distance of Republican National Convention??" Sure, there are some Jewish Republicans, but who wants to encourage that? I like to believe my people are smarter.

And, to the person looking to make some quick cash by renting the place out for a couple of days: Take it from somebody who did the same thing for the 1996 Olympics - unless you're going to get back there immediately upon checkout to do damage control, it probably isn't worth it. The people who rented my place left some milk out (not in the fridge, but OUT), and by the time we got back to the city of At-Lahn-Ta, it had just just about turned into meat.
