On Monday, the 26 year old and I were sitting in our apartment on Jane Street when the Fire Department banged on the door and told us to get out because there was a fire. Luckily, the fire was small and in the building next door, but I now realize that this was God's way of warning the Misanthrope to make himself scarce because vengeance was at hand.
This was followed on Wednesday by a 4 alarm fire in a garage on 15th Street.
Following through on his "plague every two days" plan, God delivered this mayhem on 14th Street this morning. The 1010 WINS story is not very informative, but it features the best news graphic I've seen in a while. Instead of a picture of the actual scene of the crash, we get this:
Classy! I think the soft pack of GPCs really adds to my understanding of the story.
I emailed Misanthrope correspondent Kevin Dugan and got this report on the NY1 employee who caught the drunken driver.
The best part about this story is that Howie's name means "bad man" in German. My German isn't good enough to translate "kick ass."
(Editor's Note: During the writing of this post, the 26 year old suggested that we should "run to the hills" and attempted to emphasize this point by singing "Run to the Hills" by Iron Maiden. Unfortunately, although she got the lyrics right (i.e., "Run to the Hills"), she sang them to the tune of "All By Myself, " by Eric Carmen. The Misanthrope interprets this as "speaking in Tongues," another sign from God to get out of town before the smiting begins anew.)

Funny - the one item WINS knew he had, a knife, isn't even in the graphic.
But hey, they're a radio station. Their graphic designers don't really get much practice.
I'm starting to wonder if the GPCs are actually Kleenex in a soft-pack.
She can also do Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner to the tune of Hold the Line by Toto, although she gets a little confused by the section in three in the middle.
