  1. My favorite analogy from my favorite blogger on the matter:

    Suppose you’re a smoker. Now suppose you’re having respiratory and cardiac problems, and your doctor tells you that smoking is exacerbating and probably causing your problems, and you need to quit smoking. Now, you love smoking, so of course you seek out a second opinion. And a third. And a fourth. And so on, until you’ve seen twenty doctors about the problem. Of the twenty, nineteen agree that smoking is Very, Very Bad for your particular symptoms, and that you need to quit. The twentieth says smoking is fine, no need to change anything. Now suppose further that the nineteen who agree are all cardiologists and pulmonologists, with perhaps one or two general practitioners thrown in. The guy who says the other nineteen are wrong, that smoking is no problem is a dermatologist. And to boot, the dermatologist works for R.J. Reynolds.

    That, in a nutshell, is the argument against global warming. With Sarah Palin as the leading expert.

  2. My typos, Noki, not yours.

    OK, stevie, but I think he works in the arts, definitely not on Wall Street, so he may be happy cuz it’s good for Park Slope, but not cuz he’s getting a Wall Street bonus.

    CMU, I’m afraid to ask cuz I’m afraid of how you’ll define “older”, but what age range are you looking for??

  3. Question to my ‘stoner tribe member pals

    I was walkin down Crosby this morning and I notice this dude – decked out in typical soho eurotrash chic – I notice his choice of headwear, it’s a yamaka but it says “The Soho Synagogue” on it

    I go to their website and it says “A Hipster Synagogue grows in Soho” Anyone know what’s up with this place??

  4. I’ll look into the matter immediately, cmu. And you, by the way, are a very attractive dude. 20 years older than most of those ladies or not. Glad you had a relatively pleasant time!
