We Eat The Lunch Randy Moss Dissednew
For about $9, Tinucci's offers dinners that include a choice of meat and two sides, often scooped up by a cute, gray-haired lady. And, yes, Randy, the food is not fancy, but that's the genre. Wake up and smell the watered-down coffee.

21st Century Situationists
Framed inaccurately by the press, The Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear is best understood as a contemporary extension of the French Situationist movement of the ’60s, a mass inversion of rhetorical logic, meant to break the spectator’s passivity toward the spectacle and turn the obscuring force of mass media back on itself.
