Page 1 Consider (03/25)

  • Out of the Blue: This analysis of how Debbie Gibson's career fell apart after her third album is one of the funniest things I've ever read: "Not only did 'Anything Is Possible' include a veritable buttload of tracks (I don’t remember exactly how many, but if memory serves, it was something like 400), but this cassingle includes a non-album B-side, 'So Close to Forever.'" (TheCassingleVault)

  • Surgical Tour de Force: Check out this fascinating story about a woman who had six of her major organs temporarily removed so surgeons could get to a buried cancerous tumor in an attempt to save her life. (NYT)

  • Belleview Vuitton: A new book examines forgotten pieces of luggage left behind at a mental institution and the chilling tales gleaned from them. (NYT)

  • Oral Diarrhea: When is our new governor going to shut his mouth? Repeated adulterous affairs? Marijuana use? Cocaine use? Michael wants to know if David Paterson is going to admit to fucking a cow next. Jesus.(Newsday)

  • Detroit 442: Makes me so proud of my home town. (NYT)

  • Puck You: New York hockey fans are pressing the Rangers for a meeting over what is described as repeated homophobic outbursts by fans attending games at Madison Square Garden. The anger at the slurs came to a head last week when the New York Times published an article on homophobia during Rangers games. (365Gay) Time for Tom Cavangh to come to the rescue?
