Soylent Green News
Yesterday, news.discovery.com reported that scientist are close to reproducing
photosynthesis, the process in which a plant turns sunlight into energy. In the
near future we can expect items such as coffeemakers, computers, and irons to
be fueled by this ultra green phenomena.
This is not solar power, this is PLANT POWER.

I love science. I love plants. I love the idea of electronics self sustianing like plants. It
would be nice to water my computer, and for it to breathe refreshing oxygen into my
face as I fiendishly look for something to entertain me on the internet.
Oh, that would be awesome.
Plants are all I am able to take care of at this stage in my life. And a plant that could
help me do my taxes and find a new bistro would be the best kind of plant I could
imagine.
This guy loves watering his Laptop
Unfortunately we all know that Con Edison, Orange and Rockland Utilities, or whatever energy
company makes your home hmmm and buzz isn’t going any where anytime soon. Unless
these products run on Soylent Green, Starbucks, or gallons of Gatorade, I doubt they will
ever make it out of the lab.
Or….
Could you imagine the frustration and aggravation of having to individually ‘water’ everyone
of you electronics? Ugg. Headache.
Nyack’s*~Bi~*Annual Mayoral Race
It’s that odd year again, when the Village of Nyack votes for some poor soul to
run our little town into the river. This year we have a Man vs. Woman race.
Yay, battle of the sexes time. I feel like its the seventies all over again
Anyway, the two candidates are Richy Kavesh and Jennifer Laird White.
Here are some pictures from their facebook accounts:
Candidate #1
Candidate #2
Ugg, bozos.
I can tell you right now, I am not voting for either of them.
I am going to write-in my own candidate.
On the bottom of the voting page I am going to scribble;
RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH GUY, Jimmy McMillan.
You know him, the African-American dude with the black gloves and
the Kernel Sanders goatee.
- Better Candidate
If he is not gearing up to take Obama’s job already, he may take Mayor of Nyack
instead of Mayor of New York City (candidate 2009). We have 5 Nyacks just like
New York City has 5 boroughs. We are right on Hudson River, just like the New
York. And we have just as many peoples hand in the cookie jar as NYC too!
Its a perfect fit.
Rosie goes Oprah Winfrey Network in 40 Days
I like Rosie O’Donnell, sometimes.
I mean she lives in Rockland Co., New York to start.
She is ridiculously famous for pissing people off, having zero shame, and being a lesbian.
And on top of all that, she has been a household name for 15 years.
She is super famous, does whatever she wants, and somehow manages to be relevant.
Unfortunately the down side to Rosie O’Donnell is she does and says really stupid things.
Like telling the press she wanted to eat M&Ms and popcorn inside a federal court room while
gawking at Martha Stewart’s Insider Trading Scandal. BTW, I could only imagine how much
that pissed Martha off! I wonder how many times the sound of Rosie eating it up haunted her
in Jail.
Then there was that time she fought with Magnum PI …
T. Mags VS Roe D. Youtube -Click Here
Oy Vey Rosie, sorry, but nobody gets over on Thomas Sullivan Magnum IV,
I don’t care if you are big ole Rosie O’D herself.
When Rosie isn’t on her blog, or on Insider Tonight, she is writing books.
Rosie should stick to what she knows; being bossy, adopting kids, and Broadway.
Daytime Television also works very well for Miss O’Donnell. I have to admit, she
is REALLY good at pissing people off, like at a professional level.
So, being a person who has pissed off a person or two, I can appreciate what
she does for a living.
That doesn’t mean I am a lesbian, a dumb 9-11 conspiracy theorist, or ever
going to watching ‘StakeOut 2′ or ‘A League of their Own’ EVER AGAIN.
And I am Not Watching This Either!
But I will watch Rosie attempt to take the reigns over at OWN in Oct 2011.
I believe she will do a nice to decent job of creating a show without all the extra
twatage of ‘The View’.
ON A SIDE NOTE -
I am sorry, but their is no way I can buy Whoppi Goldberg as a woman on ‘The View’. It’s just not believable. I think they hired a homeless man to impersonate Whoppi Goldberg. Barbara it’s time to pack it up, or at least stop hiring transvestites.
BACK TO ROSIE
Honestly, Rosie works best when nobody else is allowed to talk. Unless its Oprah,
but even that can’t last more than a few minutes, or episodes.
Well, it should make for really good television for a few years.
Think ‘The Ellen Show’ with a Liberace K-Mart twist. Or Ellen in sweatpants.
I’m not sure which way Rosie is going yet.
Best of Luck Rosie, make Nyack proud!! 
PS
**If I can make one request, please get in a fight with Nate Berkus
of ‘The Nate Show”. He is so freaking boring. He seems like he is a
terrible person. How many times can you put a folding table in a
studio and be called a ‘lifesaver’.
Unwatchable. You can insult him, save his career, and have
Oprah thank you for it later.
If you can’t get Nate to fight with you, I know Charlie Sheen is available.
Would LOVE to see you two go.
I think and, by think, I mean I’m 95 percent positive, you can take him.
I would love to see you get his tail. OMG.
PPS
And if you go toe to toe with Oprah I will personally volunteer at
Soup Angels Nyack Kitchen, feeding the homeless for one month straight.
Its total given that this will happen, its just a matter of when, where, and how.
I predict it will happen with in the first 8 months.
The Mall is A Flooding, Again.
Welcome back, Sinkholes
by Carol A. McIlmurray
I am so tired of this Palisades Mall
Location.
I sneeze, it floods.
Throw a water ballon at the garage, it floods.
I remember when I was just a little seven
year old, the Mall was only a twinkle in
some corrupt contractors eyes. My mother was driving her white Ford Escort
(which she detested, but that is surely is an whole other website). She was veering
off Bobby Lane onto Route 59 (as pictured) after a rain shower.
The Year was 1988.
As we turned onto Route 59 the car almost go caught in the flood
waters three times , and skided out of control, momentarily floating.
The water levels were approximately the same as this picture
(taken on this past Sunday, Aug 27, 2011).
It smelled bad, it looked bad, and what is even worse; was there
was a plan to build the second largest Mall in America, right
there. Between the flooding, sewage, and cemetery on the hill,
a man and his team dreamed of building the largest Mall in the
world, right there in that spot.
A Mall so large that the budget could not afford to decorate,
or build any type of walls over the air ducts.
A Mall so ugly it would have no shame robbing the surrounding
businesses’ traffic from 20 miles away.
A Mall so hideous (even though it has an Apple Store, Sephora,
and an IMAX), its only viable future is being swallowed by a
large sinkhole.
I give it four years.
God, I love Rockland, BUT
COME ON, ROCKLAND!!!!
Reconstructing the Face of Nyack
Nyack has been undergoing a major facelift over the past few months.
New sidewalks, new layout, and of course new business in tow.
There have been all sorts of rumors of which businesses are coming to Nyack.
Here is the Short List:
IN THE SPACE WHERE VERTIGO’S CARCASE NOW LIES, we heard Carmine’s of
New York City Fame was in talks to take over. Then we heard that BLACKBEAR’S
ugly sister THE THIRSTY TURTLE was coming in.
NOW we hear that another unnamed bar dead set on putting the POURHOUSE
out of business is slated to set up shop inside VERTIGO’S hull.
POURHOUSE has famously stopped traffic at BLACKBEAR, CASA, O’MALLEY’S,
and the now defunct BRUXELLE’S.
Speaking of BRUXELLE’S we heard a steakhouse was going to set up camp in that
space. Now the rumor on the street is THE PEARL RIVER SALOON is going to
put in THE NYACK SALOON at BRUXELLE’S old place. At least they will have
parking for that outrageous rent.
BAUMBERGER’S chinese buffet is almost complete. By Fall 2011 expect an new
overpriced restaurant with tailormade portions to open for business across
from the presently-for-sale O’Donahue’s (O’D's is Nyack’s oldest bar and family
run since 1964) Bar and Restaurant.
If that is not enough scoop, there is more. The Old Woolworth’s Building is under
renovation as I write this. Half of the first floor is already designated to be a
Greek Restaurant.
So Nyack’s new facelift should be up and operational by January 2012. But
according to the surgeon’s, Nyack is already complaining that she needs a new
nosejob!! Before the end of 2012 she wants a surgery called “THE SUPERBLOCK”.
Oy vey Nyack!! If only you had some Municipal Parking all this surgery business
would be put to rest.

Updated, Live, and Totally Active
Updated and ready to move.
August 17th, 2011
Our site has been Updated.
In the coming weeks, we will expand and update regularly, so please
check back.
Our seven caterogies: Art, Artists, Commentary, Nyack, RadioMediaPress, and
Romp will continue to take their own shape. The following paragraphs outline
our general goals with each section.
A market will be set up in the Painting Section, as well as the Romp Section, so
online purchases can be made.
The Radio, Media, Press (RMP) section will continue to grow and expand with
videos, links, and information as we comb through all of our past press, and
continue to garner more attention in the local and national Markets.
Our Nyack section will celebrate the town where we live, our achievements, our
failures, and our sense of humor. It is the town where the ‘Arts’ lives, breathes,
and somehow inspires.
Our Commentary Section is being held under close wrap at the moment, due to a
number of reasons. This section is expected to debut by the End of Fall 2011.
Our Art and Artists sections are open to the public to submit anything from
children’s art, to graffiti, to mind bending puzzles. Honestly, we just want to
highlight the best, and most enjoyable material our perverse sense of humor
allows.
Please enjoy our site, and share ANY viewpoint you find necessary to enhance
and broden our perspective.
