Biggest story of the day!

Joint Chief of Staff general Peter Pace has resigned from his post today. For most of you, this maybe the guy whose story interrupted you watching Paris Hilton ride in the back of a cop car.

Of course the man in charge of all of Americas military operations right now resigning during a war doesn't mean much or have any impact. But Paris wearing sweatpants and crying thats gonna fuck with my life.

BREAKING NEWS! Crooked Rain is being read (sorta)

Its official Crooked Rain is now open for business. With months of preparation and hard work from yours truly and my wonderful compatriots we now have are a real life Blog. The news comes officially at 8:55pm on Wednesday April 18th in the year of 2007 as we have received our first view. I happened to be there first hand to document this historic event. If you can guess who this history making viewer is you'll get some free Crooked Rain swag.

At this point I would also like to announce our Roster. These are the guys that made it past cuts and will be considered our full time editors. We have Adam Geiger hailing from Williamsburg Brooklyn and a recent graduate of Dartmouth college, Adam works in the music marketing world and is so important he gets to take business trips (that usually means your at least semi-important). It should also be noted that one of his posts has already been grabbed up by this blog. Second up is Adam Maid still a student at RIT for at least another month or two, but will soon be wearing size 30 or less jeans in Williamsburg. His cunning wit and eye for satire will be a pleasant addition to Crooked Rain. Lets not forget everyones favorite pundit Matt Nicole, his ability to point out hypocrisy, injustice, and idiocy in our culture in unmatched. And then of course me (Alexander Goldberg), or the founding/managing editor. I live in Williamsburg, and am a recent graduate of RIT film school. I work here; yes they get a little more hits then us, but I'm working on that.

Not Exactly the "Times"

While I don't expect much from free daily newspapers that are handed out at the entrances to the subway, we should still expect some semblance of knowledge sharing, news of some sort, or dare we say investigative journalism. Today's subway circulation featured a story entitled "Guns Linked to Risk of Suicide" isn't this the type of stuff we read about in Dare class in 5th grade along with marijuana usage leading to robbery and living in the Bronx. Does there even need to be an article following this statement or maybe instructions on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. To add insult to injury this article was in the health section. There is little to no involvement of health when it comes to killing yourself with or without a gun. One moment your alive and the next moment you aren't. It should be noted that this is an article that AM New York picked up from The Washington Post and Shankar Vedantam. Wait a second isn't the Washington Post supposed to be a real newspaper?
