Two stories from the NYC Metro area... both involve spanking the monkey.

The first, still a breaking news story from Stamford, CT - a pet chimpanzee went on a rampage and attacked a visitor to his owner's home this afternoon. Evidently the attack was brutal (the victim has life threatening injuries). The police were called by the chimp's owner and they too were attacked upon their arrival. They had to shoot (and kill) the monkey.

Second - NY Governor David Patterson is proposing a tax on downloaded porn from the internet. He's expecting to raise $15 million for the cash starved state. WTF??
