Oh, Albany!
Media: Caroline Kennedy and the War for Newspapers' Balls:
"Fred Dicker, the New York Post's man in Albany, is a media demigod to all the second-string political hacks in that godforsaken city. Throughout this entire Caroline Kennedy saga, Dicker has been the one vacuuming up the gossip in Albany; the Times has tried to tackle the story with its prestige and connections to NYC big shots, but that paper's entire Albany bureau doesn't have nearly the clout of Dicker by himself. Nobody wants to finally land that NYT gig and then get sent to Albany, ya know."
Really?
Is Albany that bad?
Godforsaken?
Really?
What does it say about me that I willingly moved back here?
What does it say about friends who decided to move here from other (larger) cities?
Are we really bumbling Sears wearing fools?

"Dude, that's so meta"
Synecdoche in Schenectady | All Over Albany:
"Yes, it's finally happened. Charlie Kaufman's 'Synecdoche' has come to Schenectady. Proctor's is showing the Kaufman flick which stars Phillip Seymour Hoffman as a Schenectady theater director who gets a MacArthur grant and builds a giant New York city, casting actors to play himself and everyone else in his life.
And you can see it in Schenectady. The only way this gets more meta is if Kaufman sits next to you and provides a running commentary. We caught it last week at the Spectrum. It left us with a charlie horse in our heads, but it was worth seeing. You can catch it tonight or at one of 3 showings on Wednesday for $6"

14-year-old boy impersonates cop, police say -- chicagotribune.com:
"Chicago police arrested a 14-year-old boy for allegedly impersonating one of their own Saturday...The boy identified himself as an officer from another district but was detailed for the day to Grand Crossing and also was savvy enough to sign out a police radio and a ticket book, according to a source. The source also said the boy went on traffic stops with the officer he went on the street with."
I heard this on NPR this morning and loved it...
I see this kid having a real career.
