How can New York City hot dog vendors afford a monthly rent of $53,558? A hot dog vendor was kicked from the curb outside New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art last week for failure to pay his monthly rent—of $53,558. Pasang Sherpa was under contract to pay the Parks Department $362,201 a year for a stand on the south side of the Met's entrance and $280,500 for another on the north side. That's a lot of hot dogs. With rent astronomically high, how much do New York City hot dog vendors actually make? It's hard to say. Neither the...

MOUNT PLEASANT, Wis. - One southern Wisconsin homeowner is probably not in love with the Oscar Mayer wiener. The famed hot dog's Wienermobile crashed Friday into the deck and garage of a home in Mount Pleasant, about 35 miles south of Milwaukee. Police said the driver was trying to turn the Wienermobile around in the driveway and thought she was moving in reverse. But she instead went forward and hit the home. It sat in the driveway as if it were stuck in the garage Friday afternoon.

Out of the 250-plus replies I received regarding my recent article, "The Savage silence of the lambs" and the radio interview Dr. Savage did of me, about half of the respondents took up my challenge to answer the question: "Why have virtually the entire conservative and liberal media so hardened their hearts and closed their bowels of compassion against Michael Savage?" Here is a summary replies: * The reason why Fox News, Rush, Hannity, conservative talk radio and the mainstream media daily ignores the work of Michael Savage is because he calls them names all the time. * Savage has...

SAN FRANCISCO -- The 1996 ballot measure that outlawed preferential treatment for women and minorities in government programs is unconstitutional because it prohibits all affirmative action and fosters the discrimination it was supposed to eliminate, Attorney General Jerry Brown told the state Supreme Court on Wednesday. Brown's opinion, which the court requested in considering a lawsuit that two white-owned contractors brought against San Francisco, could reopen the legal debate on Proposition 209. A federal appeals court upheld the measure in 1997, but the state's high court has never ruled on its validity. It could also become an issue in Brown's...

AN Indonesian villager had to be rushed to hospital after a horse bit off one of his testicles during a freak attack.

MANSFIELD -- Let's be frank: motor vehicle accidents aren't much fun for anyone. But when a 27-foot-long tube-steak spins out on a snow-covered highway, it's bound to generate some grins. That's what happened Sunday to an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile on Route 15 about two miles south of Mansfield (at least it didn't roll over). The growler contained two "hotdoggers" -- driver Emily Volpini, 22, of Lexington, Ky., and Caylen Goudie, 22, of Hinsdale, Ill. Although they didn't relish the experience, they weren't hurt, investigating state Trooper Rex Johnson said. "Hotdoggers" are goodwill ambassadors for Kraft Foods and Oscar Mayer. There...

Today's New York Post Page Six gossip column offers readers the following prima facie risible item: Not So Secret HUMA Abedin, the traveling aide who is rarely out of Hillary Rodham Clinton's sight, has been seen with bachelor Rep. Anthony Weiner on the campaign trail. Shortly before Clinton arrived for a fund-raiser Thursday night at the Hiro club in the Meatpacking District, Abedin was spotted going into the Maritime Hotel around the corner with Weiner. If they were trying to keep their affair a secret, you'd think they'd find someplace where political reporters wouldn't be walking by. "If they were...

A legal services firm with strong ties to the Democratic Party plans to ask a State Supreme Court justice Friday to halt a possible runoff election between Fernando Ferrer and Anthony Weiner, arguing that it would waste up to $12 million in city funds. Following Weiner's concession to Ferrer, no one is arguing that a runoff is necessary, but the question is whether or not the law requires it. The Board of Elections says it does. The public advocacy group filing suit says the Board of Elections is misreading the law. The President of the Board of Elections tells the...

Micahel Savage , is known on this site, for criticizing our President, on a given day. Some of this criticism is warranted: such as inaction on the Illegal alien problem. BUT- NOW,Savage, (Or Weiner, as some call him), seems to be joining the chours of "it's all Bush's fault", regarding the mess in NO. Tonight, he had Pat Buchannan on, saying "the president was asleep at the switch" and "this will hurt Bush, very badly". Savage agreed with everythng Pat said, and I only could listen for a few minutes. WHAT IS WRONG WITH SAVAGE? Does he not realize, that...

Rep. Anthony Weiner, Mr. Anti-Wal-Mart, has taken tens of thousands of dollars in campaign cash from businessmen who made fortunes working with the big-box store, finance records show. The sponsor of Wal-Mart-bashing legislation that's headed to the House floor this week has pocketed more than $30,000 from two families with ties to America's No. 1 retailer. The Cayre family, which once managed Wal-Mart's software, poured over $15,000 into Weiner's campaign coffers, mostly to his congressional fund. And the Dabah family, which provided Wal-Mart with clothing for well over two decades, gave him over $17,000 for his mayoral run. "Anthony Weiner...
