Lo Mac Attacks!

Mel Brooks tells David Bianculli about turning down the Kennedy Center Honor the first time he was offered it:

I shouldn’t say this … but I’ll say it anyway. I was offered this — the Kennedy Center Honors — maybe a year or two before and I said, ‘Well, I’m going to wait for another president if I’m still alive if you don’t mind.’ I just didn’t feel comfortable when Bush was president to accept the honors. … Had I not gotten 110 awards, you know, I’m an EGOT so I don’t need any more. … The Kennedy Center Honors at the moment, I didn’t need them. … The only award I haven’t received, I think, is Woman of the Year and I don’t know if that’s not in the works just as an honorary Woman of the Year. I may get that too, but I’m not looking for it.

Mel Brooks, a personal hero of mine.

Two adorable puppies fall into a well. In the well is a King Cobra. The exact opposite of what you think would happen happens. Wow.

WNYC filed an open records request to get New Jersey Transit’s new hurricane emergency preparedness plan. This is what they got back. Read more about how NJ struggled to prepare for Sandy, and the future of transportation infrastructure, from Transportation Nation. And listen to reporters Andrea Bernstein and Kate Hinds discussing their investigation on the Brian Lehrer Show.

Wow. Get it together, NJ.
