I’ll admit that some of these stories have a tangential relationship to our biggest local dick joke (and I’m front-loading them), but these days, even Meow Mix or Henrietta Hudson’s would have trouble being this Weiner-free.
Yoda catches the worst columnist in NYC (and the most despicable member of my Congregation) in a whopper which I wish I'd spotted first.

I remember Alex (as we called him back then) in college–He ran for Student Government President, missed the runoff by one vote, litigated it, lost, and (in the wake of a scandal at his prior position) dropped out and transferred to NYU and changed his major to drama.
He’s been whining for 30 years how he's been robbed (I'm one of the people he blames).
Let him run–then he'll lose, move out, and we'll never hear from him again. Courtesy Of Weinergate… Mayor Alec Baldwin? www.nydailynews.com
Congrats to Colin Campbell and Nick Rizzo for a great interview with District Leader Lincoln Restler, who despite my intermittent criticism, is really sharp.

From IND‘s President: “I am reliably informed that you posted on your blog that IND was evicted from its 100 first place office. While that is true in a limited sense, the Scotto's had nothing to do it with it, and in fact found IND better space at the same rent in an adjoining building. This has nothing to do with Deb Scotto's proposed run for district leader. We sublet space from Twyford realty and the situation there changed.”
My actual quote: "In a perhaps unrelated story, Simon’s club, IND, has been evicted from its clubhouse in the Scotto funeral home building"
