NYPost Weiner Headline: "Weiner Stands Tall" And the dick jokes continue...The lede on an opinion piece by Nicole Gelinas: "Want an idea of how limp the Democratic mayoral field is? It finally has a candidate offering specifics on how New York can avoid going bankrupt. But it’s Anthony Weiner, the guy with nothing left to hide and nothing to lose." A stewardess's polite warning about death "When flying in, before landing, stewardess gets on intercom, sort of randomly, to remind passengers drug trafficking is punishable by death." -- WaPo's Tim Craig.

I would not act on it, but I do. Two doors down. I am DOOMED." -- WaPo's "humor" columnist Gene Weingarten. He must've been self-conscious this weekend because he also wrote: "I think it is possible that every single person following me is better looking than I am. It's kind of empowering." In explanation of his coveting his neighbor's ass, he wrote, "Holy crap. Just reread Ten Commandments: We have a petty, assholic God! Unfollow Him!" And this: "Seriously have you READ this thing? Don't worship any other Gods or I will KILL YOU and your CHILDREN and THEIR CHILDREN! #FU10Commandments." The link doesn't work, which means Gene may have to return to the Apple Genius Bar. God help those nerds. Spring cleaning "If I haven't worn it in 2 years, then it's leaving my life tonight. (You'd be surprised how much that is.)" -- GOProud co-founder Jimmy LaSalvia.
