I guess the experience hosting Saturday Night Live this past weekend had a big impact on Lebron James. Last night, I noticed - as I’m sure many Cleveland Indians fans did - Lebron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers wearing a Yankees hat. And then when the game is pretty much decided in the 6th inning, Lebron turns his hat backwards. Then he removes it.
Clearly, he’s not a hard and true Yankees fan so he’s presenting himself as a real tool to local Cleveland fans. Why pull that in your hometown, dude? Were you really that proud of your SNL gig? Other than the Digital Short and the return of The Ambiguously Gay Duo, it was a weak show. Not that athletes make great SNL hosts but Peyton Manning set the bar pretty high last year:
Why would you want to navigate a Revolutionary War-era submarine in the East River? Of all the water ways in the area, that seems like the most…foul. Perhaps we’ll learn more but Gothamist located artist/patriot Duke Riley’s Flickr page on the project. He’s got a website, too.
The answer to my first question seems to be that Mr. Riley has a fondness for the Queen Mary II, currently docked in the East River. The proximity to the cruise ship and randomness of his vessel is what got him and two other mariners arrested today. Still, I have many more why’s about this…

Why does this bit on the Late Show With David Letterman never get old? That maybe as much of a sad and bitter observation on the state of things as it is hilarious but I’m running with the latter. I am posting this for my own occasional daily need to laugh hysterically at our President. Cheers, GWB.
Why are 1500+ inmates at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in Cebu, Philippines performing an awesome dance routine to Thiller?
*Update: A Filipino friend explains, “My people are funny and strange. And they’re into dancing. A lot.”
The first in a series of posts in which I ask “Why?”
Why does the possum fall so high on the list of animals I consider revolting?
Let’s hope nobody actually wants to create this disturbing concept of computer interfaces and possum.
