Current rumor has it that Rupert Giles of Buffy (Anthony Stewart Head) will take on the mantle of Doctor Who for BBC next year. That’s pretty decent casting, I suppose…now can we get Sean Bean as The Master?

Memorial Politics.
Speaking to the families of 9-11 victims, Governor Pataki declares that nothing will be built on the site of the former WTC. While obviously some kind of memorial on the premises would be appropriate, I don’t agree with Pataki at all on this one. NYC doesn’t need another park…the city should stay true to its organic nature and rebuild on the (extremely valuable) space, particularly if you consider the fact that the WTC project tore up several blocks of historic Dutch Manhattan back in 1973.
Bottles and Can’ts.
New York City rolls back its recycling program, meaning not only less recycling (of course) but less cash opportunities for the bottle-collecting homeless. Bad call. Hopefully, most of us will keep the bottle bags going.

Executing the Death Penalty.
A US District Court Judge declares the (federal) death penalty unconstitutional. Let’s hope the decision fares better than the Pledge one did.
