Natasha Lyonne heads for rehab

I remember seeing a photograph a few months back of Natasha Lyonne looking like a sad, prematurely aging bag lady. Aaaaaaaack! She was so great in Slums of Beverly Hills and American Pie! She can really, really act! And she's not a famewhore like Lindsay Lohan! Well, it turns out she's a heroin addict. Shit. Not again. Plus, she made her ex-roommate's life a living hell and she's got emotional and/or mental problems. Meanwhile, her dad says there's nothing wrong with her at all. (These young actresses/pop stars always have fucked up, wimpy, or delusional dads. Surprise surprise.)

Anyway, I just read the other day that she checked herself into rehab in Malibu. Which could be a hopeful sign. I mean, I love celebrity snark as much as anyone else, but this chick has waaaaaay too much talent to let herself go to ruin. Here's hoping she can get herself clean.

MTA CEO Lee Sander said, "We really are sorry about the inconvenience that New Yorkers had to deal with. In terms of how it happened, we had three inches of rain in an hour. The system is designed to handle 1.5 inches." This isn't quite as appalling as last year's 9-day Queens blackout--you know, the one where Con Ed lied about the number of places without power--but it still in...

Some perspective, please

Yes, President Obama isn't perfect. Yes, he should just close Gitmo already. Yes, it would be great if he'd act on his campaign promise of more transparency in government. But c'mon, people, he's not another George W. Bush. A quick comparison of their administrations will show this. Criticize the guy, sure, but let's not pretend it's still 2005, hear?
