Ten day ago, I posted an article about the imminent promotion of President Nicolas Sarkozy's son to manage France's wealthiest business district and how it was drawing howls of protest and derision due to the fact that:
- Jean Sarkozy is only 23 years old,
- He is only a second year law student
- He clearly wouldn't be considered if his name "wasn't Sarkozy".
And now, my friends, after 10 days of relentless and heavy protests and sarcastic comments by the majority of the people (for example, we suggested that Louis, the third son - only 10 - might be a credible option to succeed Ban Ki-Moon at the head of the United Nations), I'm very pleased to say that...

To get booted off the street, a police officer has to do something pretty serious - like shoot a suspect or be accused of brutality.
But in the 35th District, which covers Logan, Olney and adjacent neighborhoods, apparently a hairdo will do it.
A cop who got cornrows was ordered off the street and kept on desk duty for two days until he cut his braids off, sources said.

· On a bustling sidewalk in the Dominican neighborhood of New York City's Washington Heights, Carmen Calderon reaches over a folding table to wave a pamphlet at a sandwich delivery man, shouting in Spanish, "You know your rights as a worker?" The man smiles and keeps biking.
But in the course of an afternoon Calderon manages to lure others and deliver her message, part of a new effort by New York State's Labor Department to combat wage theft among this city's enormous immigrant workforce.
