Has sob sister Mike Farrell said anything about the plight of this little tyke?

OK, for the purposes of investigation, I will confirm that the Crazy Horse in the Bronx DOES indeed have metal detectors.

"If I had the chance, I would want to meet his family and look them in the face and tell then how sorry I feel about what happened," he said.

That's why you make the choice ahead of time to not get involved in this kind of stuff, ya friggin' idiot. Giving a jailhouse sob story doesn't help you a bit.

Boy, am I gonna draw fire for this:

People do stupid things, and there isn't one of us out there who hasn't. Not that anything excuses his behaviour and not that he shouldn't serve the penalty, but I think we were taught to hate the sin and not the sinner. YES,he should do the time and no number of books or charity should lesson his punishment.

Sorry, but the NY Post is not a confessional. Cologeno gave this interview for one reason only: His lawyer has him working on potential future jurors.

Trust me on this one: On your Nationwide tour of strip clubs, the Bronx is one borough you can afford to miss. As a matter of fact, when in the NYC area, stick to Manhatttan. But bring money.

Probably. But he was interviewed because he is a celebrity. We are guilty of a fascination with these folks. Not that any of this excsuses anything.

I just find it all stupid and tragic. I don't think this guy is really evil or scuzzie, just not too bright. He should do his time.

Most criminals aren't. I'm ready to forgive him from a Christian standpoint, but I doubt that's what he's looking for.

I hope the officer driving the car reached over and pulled up the lock for him...on his side of the squad...

She's 'a keeper'...

The worst one's I've ever seen were in Reno.  The attractive women were few and far between and always monopolized by the guys with wads of twenties that would choke a horse.

I actually had a Russian with a thick accent and dour personality try to talk me into a dance there, with the line "Look.  I lock my keys in car.  Locksmith in parking lot right now.  I need fifty seven dollars.  I dance for you."  Very appealing.

Nothing says buzzkill faster than a Russian stripper. They must have schools over there or something.

What you just quoted I was going to quote as possibly the all-time Darwin award-winning statement to the press or Police. Unbelievable lack of irony. I had wondered what happened to Brancato for several years after BRONX TALE, and I finally saw him on the Sopranos about 5 years later. What I didn;t know was that he was playing himself on The Sopranos. Life imitates art imitates Life.
