Week Around The Ists

  • Gothamist found out that billionaire Mayor Michael Bloomberg likes to put ice in his beer. One bar owner told us, "I had a laugh because, for someone like me, it's ridiculous. But I guess to each his own. I don't want anybody telling me what position I can have sex in. Not in Williamsburg! It's all personal taste."

  • DCist was annoyed when the head of the city’s Metro system said that late night riders “should not be drunk”; meanwhile, its readers debated one Safeway store’s new policy of checking customers’ receipts before they leave.

  • Chicagoist discovered that a campaign letter sent to city workers by Rahm Emanuel’s campaign hoping to clarify his position on pension reform wasn’t well received.

  • Seattlest got a look at our local masked superhero in action at the police protests popping up around the city and skipped Valentine's Day in favor of celebrating Octopus Day, which included a roundup of local cephalopod-inspired tattoos.

  • Shanghaiist watched Beijing police shake it, models ride the Taipei subways half-naked, a girl with only five fingers play the piano, and a five-year-old amputee eat and write with his feet!

  • Bostonist reported on sexual abuse this week: Senator Scott Brown's bombshell revelation that he was sexually abused as a 10-year old by a camp counselor stunned us. It's in his book, "Against All Odds," and he chats up Lesley Stahl of "60 Minutes" about it tonight. A prominent local wrestling coach was arrested for possessing child pornography and the kids still won a state title. A prominent doctor died one day after he was sued for sexual abuse. On a lighter note, Rajon Rondo taught Miami another lesson which prompted us to drop the MVP tag on him. BC schooled Northeastern - again - in the Beanpot. Oh, yeah, the Sox are back.

  • LAist met The Pitbull Lady. As far as we can tell, she is probably not Banksy.

  • SFist reopened the city's foreseeable circumcision ban, which might appear on the November ballot.
