I’m a big fan of Num Pang’s banh mi sandwiches. They’re delicious.
Now I’m on the hunt for new sandwich places.
Where else should I go to find incredible vegetarian sandwiches in New York?

Sarah Palin Defends Limbaugh's Use Of 'Retard'
The former governor went to great and sometimes awkward lengths to insist that when conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh used the same exact term to describe the same exact group, it was simply in the role of political humorist.
“They are kooks, so I agree with Rush Limbaugh,” she said, when read a quote of Limbaugh calling liberal groups “retards.” “Rush Limbaugh was using satire … . I didn’t hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with ‘f-ing retards,’ and we did know that Rahm Emanuel, as has been reported, did say that. There is a big difference there.” (via Huffington Post)
Double standards are great!
100 people logged into bitly.Pro within 60 seconds of launching on a Friday night. I feel good about that. Great work by the bit.ly crew.
I’m ashamed proud to be one of those people!
Dear New York Times,
In an era when newspapers are struggling to remain relevant and survive, you gotta bring your “A” game.
Does this article on a Jewish football player really need to occupy such an important place on the homepage? I’ll save you the trouble of responding: the answer is no.
A couple of years ago, I was an announcer at New York’s Israel Day Parade. For those of you who don’t know, it’s just like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, except that it’s longer, not as much fun, and without the very large balloons.
Which brings me to the point of this post:
The Honorable Anthony Weiner, Congressman from New York’s 9th District was at the parade. When it was my time to announce him, I was unsure as to how to pronounce his last name. I announced him as Congressman “WINE-er,” so as to not make the mistake of calling a member of Congress a euphemism for a part of the male anatomy. Apparently, I chose poorly. His name is pronounced “WEE-nur” and I ended up embarrassing myself as well as a member of Congress.
I’ve always felt a little bad about this, but I felt a little better after watching Wednesday night’s episode of the Daily Show. As seen in the above video, Jon Stewart, America’s most trusted newscaster, made the same mistake. I guess it happens to the best of us.
