"BIG NEWS" iPad Mini Release .. "The McRib is Coming Back .. and

Wow what a month this is going to be, a big new Apple product, the much anticipated "iPad Mini" to be released October 23, 2012 (high speculation anyway). And almost just as big, ever Bigger to its Millions of Loyal Fans "The McRib is Coming Back" before the end of the month, go to "Me-N-McRib" for the Secret Date. Yes all you McRib fans out there, "McRib Lover" you hopes and dreams for 2012 are about to come to fruition as the flaky and indifferent McRib resurfaces at a McDonalds near you. Grab her quick, "The McRib" she's fleeting and will just be around for a short 6 weeks. A cruel and insensitive act to the legions (millions) of adoring Lovers of the McRib. Yes it is Boys and Girls. But hey, it's a lot better than waiting for 15 years or so from one disappearance before resurfacing  many years later in the past. Seems like the people at McDonald's are now set into a groove of bringing her (The McRib) back on a annual basis, just before the holidays. Well thank goodness for that.
  So, back to the iPad Mini. As usual Apple has been able to fend off leaks for the most part. No one outside of the most inner core of Apple knows all the details for sure about the iPad Mini, but Cnet and other  reputable in-the-know Tech Sources have just about 99% assured us, the Mini will be announced at the Apple Event on October 23rd. Those lucky enough to have an invitation have a little Clue marked on it. The physical invitation that is, it states "We've Got a Little More to Show You." Little? Get it? Little as in Mini, as in "iPad Mini." Well, we're gonna find out for sure on October 23, 2012 ..
    OK Boys and Girls one more Big Piece of news, and it's back to the McRib. DBZ has just published a Poem on "Me-N-McRib." It's a Poem for the McRib, and it's called "The Heartbreaker" It's hilarious, yet poignant  and can be read at the Blog "Me-N-McRib." Check it out.

STEELY DAN Rock The BEACON

. . Steely Dan... September 22, 2011

Steely Dan Rocked The Beacon Theater the other night. All last week, as a matter of fact, playing a seven night engagement that drew throngs of loyal fans and Steely Dan Freaks, including this avid fan here. I went on Thursday night which was Fan Request Night, whereby fans choose their favorite songs that they'd like to hear that night. Theoretically the songs with the most votes are the ones played for the concert. Well, it pretty much turned out that way, but the band led by

Front-Man Genius "Donald Fagen" the Jerseyboy (Passaic) who eluded to the fact that although it was request night, the band might not follow the list of winners exactly to a tee.

Well most fan favorites were played, including; Aja, Riki Don't Lose That Number, Dirty Work, Do It Again, Reelin in The Years, Josie, Peg, and the finale "Kid Charlemagne." Basicaly, the only song missing that you know it just had to be in the top 5 or 6 vote winners was Deacon Blues which many were screaming for, including "Mwa." The song was not played. I bet of a disappointment, but hey, you really can't complain with a show like the band put on that night and the repertoire of songs chosen.

Fagen, Becker, and the whole band were just great. The band consisted of a 4 piece brass section of a Trumpet, Alto and Tenor Saxophone, and a Bone Player (Trombone), bass, drums, 2 Keyboards, Fagen and Lead Keyboard, two guitars including Becker and three Female Back-Up Singers. They all performed outstandingly.

A little hint. For all you kids out there. If you want to see a real band play real music not canned sampled crap like they make today, next time Steely is in town, check them out. them, the Stones, Allman Brothers, Crosby Stills and Nash or some other great Rock Band from the 60s, 70, and or 80s. You'll not regret it.

Donald Fagen and Steely Dan Rock !

MAYOR BLOOMBERG ..JAY WALDER and The MTA STOLE $8-MILLION DOLLARS from HARD WORKING NEW YORKERS !!! And GET AWAY With IT ! "A SIN"

MIKE BLOOMBERG ..JAY WALDER and The MTA SUCK !!!

Well folks, Citizens of New York, Mike Bloomberg and the MTA have done it Again. They have SCREWED the Hard Working Citizens of New York about $8 MILLION DOLLARS. Stole it from us. If you are one of many who purchase the Highly Overpriced 7 Day Unlimited Metrocard for $29 last week as I did and I do every week, then You've Just been Screwed out of $8.29 of your Hard Earned Money by Jay Walder, The MTA, and Mayor Mike Bloomberg who let this happen. Jay Walder, the MTA and our Mayor Mike Bloomberg are STEALING $8.29 from me and about a million other Hard Working New Yorkers by taking our $29 for a 7 Day Metrocard and only proving us with 5 days of service and basically telling us New Yorkers who purchased these metrocards last week to go F_ _k Ourselves. As they have said that allthough we purchased these metrocards for $29 to get 7 Days of Unlimited use, and they only provided us with 5-Days, they say it is to difficult to Extend the Passes for 2 more Days or to refund us the $8.29 "We Are Untitled To." In other words, yes, they are Spitting in Our Faces and basically telling us F _ _k You. 
   "Nice Huh?" They are Screwing us again and getting away with it, and Mayor Mike Bloomberg who had the Subway and Buses Shut Down, to "Add Insult to Injury" is allowing the MTA to Screw us, not Extend These Passes that should be extended and not Refunding us Money we are intitled to. Bloomberg is responsible as well as jay Walder as they are letting this happen. "Don't we have any rights any more?" First Bloomberg renames the Queensborough 59th Street bridge the Ed Koch Bridge, which 90% of New Yorkers "DID NOT WANT" The MTA Raises Fares again this past May, Bloomberg Shuts Down the Subway, which was fine, but Crippled the CITY by Closing down Bus Service which should not have been done. The Buses should have been running since the Subways were not. Bloomberg CRIPPLED NEW YORK by not having the Buses Running. He Sucks, Jay Walder SUCKS, and The MTA Sucks.
   When is this Crap all going to End?




DANIEL BELLINO ZWICKE

BLOOMBERG RUINS The DAY

  Thanks a Lot Mike. Thanks for "Screwing Up" Worse than any Mayor in The History of New York has ever done. Bad Call. You Blew It. You Stole a Day of Our Lives. The new York City Subway System has NEVER been Shut Down (other than 9/11 Emergency) voluntarily and for good reason,  it doesn't need to be, and it didn't yesterday, and not so early at 12 Noon. Or if you did, shut the Subway because of underground tunnel precautions, "Why the HELL Didn't You Keep the Bus System Running" you MORON ? !!!!!!! You CRIPPLED the CITY Worse than any storm ever could have.
     Mayor Bloomberg, because of Your Foolish Decision, there were virtually no businesses open. Because you shut down the Subway and "Unnecessarily Shut Down The Bus Service" You Crippled the City. "Thanks a lot Asshole." There were no Cafes, almost no Restaurants, grocery stores open.... 99%  of all businesses were closed, Not Because of the weather, but because people couldn't Get to Work, so business owners had to close as a result of their employees not being able to get to work because, not only did you Shut Down the Subway, but you made an even MORE FOOLISH DECISION to Shut down Bus Service. "WHY?" The BUSES could have kept running! People Needed them ! You made the City lose a couple Billion Dollars in business, or more.

      You ruined the day of natives like me who couldn't go to a cafe or restaurant and for Tens of Thousands of Tourists who had no restaurants to go to eat, and especially under the conditions we were in, everyone could have used either; a Cafe, bar, or restaurant to go to instead of having to walk for blocks to find one of the very few grocery stores or delis open to have a sod and a tiny bite to eat on the street instead of sitting down relaxing in a nice Cafe, Bar, or restaurant, which would have been nice and was sort of a necessity. you Ruined it! You Ruined our Day  and Unnecessarily so. If Buses at least were running as they would have been, people would have been able to get to work and back home, on Buses and restaurants, Cafes, Bars, grocery stores, delis and other businesses would have been opened and you wouldn't have "RUINED The DAY of MILLIONS of PEOPLE." How do you Feel Asshole. Thanks a lot. Nice F_ _ k Up Mike !!!!!

Thee BEST ITALIAN Food in NEW YORK Can Be Found at BAR PITTI

 BAR PITTI

BAR PITTI

Greenwich Village New York

When it comes to great Italian Food, in a city (New York) that is known to have the Best Italian Food in the World outside of Italy, it's hard to beat Bar Pitti, which is why Bar Pitti may very well be the "Best Italian Restaurant" in New York City! Yes!

Wait a minute, scratch that "maybe." No, Bar Pitti serves without a doubt, thee "Best Italian Food in New York." You don't think so? name one that is better. And please only qualified people please. No followers or Hack Food Critics like

Frank Bruni.

Who could compete? Maybe Babbo, Del Posto, Elio's, Lupa. They are all good, but none as good and consistent as Bar Pitti.

Il Mulino is absolutely "Aweful!" An "Overpriced Lackluster Restaurant" with horrible ambiance, mechanical annoying service, and food that is merely good, and no better and insanely "High Prices." It's a place for "Followers" who run with the crowd and wouldn't know real good Italian Food if it came up and Bit Them in The Ass.

Babbo many would say. Well Babbo is quite good, but just can't hold up to Bar Pitti with more of a true Italian feel, great food at truly real Italian Prices. Babbo is a great Special Occasion restaurant, but for everyday eating, Babbo doesn't even come close to Bar Pitti for "Great Quality Price Ratio," and even not considering the prices, if they were the same, though the food at Babbo is very good and I've had a few very enjoyable meals there, I have been disappointed a couple of times, something that has "Never" happened to me at Bar Pitti and I've eaten there more times, yet never been disappointed, not once, and always had a great time. So even if the prices were the same, Bar Pitti still has an edge, with Better More Consistent Authentic Italian Food than Babbo.

How bout Maialino, Laconde Verde, Osteria Morini, and others? As MC Hammer would say, "Can't Touch This."

So if you're looking for Thee "Best Italian Food in New York" there's one name, "Bar Pitti."

BIG LEBOWSKI ..."The DUDE Abides" !!!

 BIG LEBOWSKI  ......."A Movie Everyone Needs To See"


   THE BIG LEBOWSKI, Jeff Bridges Opus as "The DUDE." A movie everyone should see sooner or later. Better sooner, as it will enrich your life. A Funny "Feel Good Movie" about a Funny, Feel Good, happy, Carefree Guy, Jeffrey Lebowski, better know as "The Dude." Don't call him Lebowski as he meets-up and has a conversation with another Jeff Lebowski in the city of Los Angeles. The Dude says to him, "Don't call me Mr. Lebowski! You don't call me that! I'm The Dude. So that's what you call me, or you can call me Dudster,  His Dudeness or El Duderino if not into the whole brevity thing!"
  Well, no, this movie may not be for everyone. I can see that, but it is to millions. it's actually a Cult Movie that has a legion of Fans who absolutely Love it and of course El Dudeness himself, "The Dude." What's not to Love. A wonderful Cohen Brothers film with John Goodman as The Dudes main sidekick Walter, co-starring Steve Buscemi as Donny another friend of The Dude, Tara Reid as the nymphomaniac Porn Star wife of the other Jeff Lebowski, the Millionare handicapped one and Julianna Moore as the Millionare Jeff Lebowski's Left Wing Artist Daughter Maude.
  The Dude is a Happy Go Lucky 70's Leftover Hippy former Rock-Roadie Unemployed Slacker of the First Degree who is a Fanatical Bowling Pot Smoker who Loves White Russians or as he calls them, a  "Caucasian,"  (a Cocktail made with Kahlua, Vodka, and Milk).
    The Dude happens to get into all sorts of misadventures that intertwines him with "Bunny" the nypho Porn-Star, her Husband millionare Jeff Lebowski, Jackie Treehorn the Porn King, The Malibu Sheriff, Maude, and a Gang of Bumbling Extortionists. 
      Are we makinmg any sense? Take my word for it and that of Millions of others! See The Big Lebowski, it'll change your Life! For the Better!

CHARLIE GOING to HAITI with SEAN PENN

CHARLIE SHEEN Going to Haiti With Pal SEAN PENN"

  Is Charlie Sheen headed to Haiti with Pal Sean Penn.?  Well Penn has invited Charlie, and Charlie says, He's as Excited as Hell to be going down there. "Tigers Blood" and "Winning" for Haiti, "Sean Penn" and "Charlie Sheen." Should be interesting to say the least. Will Scarlett Johansson go as well? Sean Penn, Scarlett Johansson, Charlie Sheen 3Sum? Sounds Interesting!

In a statement, Penn said: "I think his energies, intelligence and passion could be both of service and servicing to him, as it is to all who are touched by the struggle of the Haitian people.

"Charlie is one of the very few public people who cannot be accused of using the media to his own benefit. I would very much like to show my old friend the world of needs on the ground in Haiti, and introduce him and his tremendous wit to our hard working Haitian staff."

Well, consider the invitation accepted.

In a conversation with "Access Hollywood" host Billy Bush, Sheen said, "I'm excited as hell because, you know, if I can bring the attention of the world down there, then clearly this tsunami keeps cresting."
