The following were gleaned from today's NY Post: In his sports betting column, Stitches cleverly refers to New York's pro basketball team as the Titanknicks... In the Fast Takes column, Fox News reporter Marc Thiessen comments brilliantly on the cost of security for the recent speaking engagement of Ben Shapiro at UC-Berkley: "...leftists succeeded in imposing a $600,000 tax on conservative speech."... Texas state representative Dawna Dukes (D) has been indicted for spending $51,000, $1000 per month, of taxpayers' money on a psychic. Looking into my crystal ball, I bet she gets off with a slap on the wrist.
Season four of Gotham began last night. The Penguin has cut crime by 57% - by killing many criminals. He makes a deal, Pax Penguina, with the mayor on a license to steal. Anyone who holds one and is caught in the act of theft must be released by the GCPD. It's an interesting theme, although I'm not sure if it will fly. The episode was so-so. Here's Robin Lord Taylor in the part it seems he was born to play:
I received a royalty from Amazon that covers the reading of pages by online visitors. In this instance it was for my rock n roll epic, Rising Star. Someone read - or at least looked through - 300 pages or so. That amounted to a disappointing payment of four cents. I have to remind myself that the company needn't do this at all. It's a no lose situation for a writer. It's up to me to steer readers to my work, to get more people to read pages, to buy a book.
My thanks to the kind folks who bought books, in English, Russian and French (grammar), on the last day of what has been a spectacular summer in NYC in terms of weather. Fall arrived at 4:02 PM.
