A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the last week on AOA:
+ We put together a quick backgrounder on Scott Murphy, the Democratic candidate in the special election to replace Kirsten Gillibrand.
+ SNL did another David Paterson skit -- and people were split over whether it was funny.
+ This year's RPM Challenge features a bunch of local bands/projects.
+ If Wetterschadenfreude isn't a word, it should be.
+ Panda, the guide horse, might need to get an agent.
+ We did some fuzzy math on some squishy numbers to figure out how much more those Spanish-style houses in Albany are worth than a typical house.
+ Jess checked out the new "Live with Less" exhibit at UAlbany.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: Congressional poetry, Grand Slams, car wrecks, potholes, looking good, alligator, puppy people and worms.
+ Overheard outside the liquor store.
+ An infamous anti-gay group is planning a protest in Albany -- and it sparked an interesting and thoughtful discussion about the appropriate response.
+ A few items on Craigslist this week: pythons, skinny pigs, triple word scoring, Chuck-E-Cheese and another hot Pepsi guy sighting.
+ We listened to a podcast in which James Howard Kunstler "jumped on" Harry Tutunjian in the street.
+ Eat this: macaroni and cheese at Hattie's.
