I’m scheduled to be on the Brian Lehrer show on WNYC tomorrow (Monday) in the 10 o’clock am hour. You can listen on 820AM or 93.9FM, or on their website.

Update: If you missed the show this morning you can listen to the recording here. The commenters on WNYC all hate me, as usual. It’s actually kind of awesome.

Someone has been watching too much Law&Order

There may be a serial killer in Long Island, NY. So AOL interviewed a former FBI agent, and current head of Copus Security Consultants, Harold Copus who said to not be afraid. Just kidding, he said:

“The cycle of homicides will increase. If it has been, like they said, 18 months since he started, before you know it the cycle will start to compress. It always does,” he said. “Killing is like a drug to these guys. Just like a junkie, they need more.”

Thanks, Harold.

How is this real?

I don’t know. I really don’t. Vladimir Putin serenades black-tie celeb crowd with “Blueberry Hill” (hat-tip Kevin):

Quote of the Day
