Medieval… I am realizing how I really need remedial spelling. Yesterday I wrote scating instead of skating and Dave was excoriating me for moral depravity and Rob got all prissy on me.
Anyone read the Wednesday Links article about the 22yo guy who was wrongly ID’d by cops, arrested, and spent 3 weeks at Rikers for a crime he couldn’t possibly have committed? Very troubling. I’m cross-posting:

And how about the innocent guy who spent 3 weeks in Rikers? Video and cell phone records prove he was in Manhattan at the time, and yet the cops and detectives stand by their ID of the guy and doubt his alibi!
I’m sorry, but I’m a law-abiding citizen, and a lawyer to boot, and this is why I still have a slight fear of the cops and the legal system. That is to say, getting caught up in the system, being totally innocent, and yet not being able to prove your innocence. It’s not like there aren’t a lot of wrongly convicted people filling this country’s jails.”
Lavo’s Tight Crowd May Drop Stuff on Your $34 Meatballs:
Dec. 22 (Bloomberg) — Lavo, a Midtown Manhattan nightclub that calls itself a restaurant, serves spaghetti with Kobe beef meatballs. It costs $34.
It tastes precisely like spaghetti with meatballs at any Old World grandma’s house, anywhere in New York. Typical cost:
One hug, one kiss.
And yet Lavo is as improbably packed as its closest culinary peer, the Times Square Olive Garden.
Biff, why don’t you go to that Montreal deli? Should be quiet today I’d think. Or get a burger at Cobble Grill?
Let me explain something to you, dibs. This business requires a certain amount of finesse.
