A hissing gypsy visited me in my sleep last night. She said if I didn’t start taking my recycling more seriously, I’d end up writing about Ashley Tisdale’s nose job for the rest of my life. Turns out, it was just the radiator wheezing in my ear, but still, you’d be amazed by how detailed my instructions were for the maid this morning.
Speaking of—Ashley Alexandra Dupre, the hooker they call “Kristen” had a little sit down with Diane Sawyer. The interview will air on Friday night’s 20/20. I predict she finally admits what I’ve been saying all along: that she is, in fact, Eliot Spitzer’s Camilla Parker-Bowles.
Instead of a $25 billion dollar bailout check, the Big 3 CEOs got nothing but a Congressional tongue lashing yesterday that was akin to a Dennis the Menace episode with no happy ending. Living in New York, I don’t really know cars, but I do know sneakers. If American cars were tennis shoes, I’d say they look like the kind you buy at K-Mart. And as far as fuel efficiency goes, the brands that come to mind definitely aren’t Ford or Chevy or Dodge. Perception is reality—they blew this shit years ago.
Looks like Paris Hilton is back from sabbatical. The rumors of Benji Madden’s stray hook-ups must have been true because a single Paris popped up in Miami with a flute of Moët in one hand and a Stavros Niarchos in the other. Her Greek shipping heir ex’s other known conquests include: MK Olsen, Lindsay Lohan and maybe Kate Bosworth.
Finally, if you’re suffering from an extreme hangover, do not ride the subway. Mass transit is great for the environment, but it’s terrible for a pounding headache and nausea. Anyone who uses it frequently knows that all it takes is one sick passenger to basically shut down the entire system. I may or may not speak from experience. Happy Thirsty Thursday!

To quote wikipedia, the utmost authority on all:
The word “sneaker” is often attributed to Henry Nelson McKinney, an advertising agent for N. W. Ayer & Son, who, in 1917, coined the term because the rubber sole made the shoe stealthy. All other shoes, with the exception of moccasins, were unsuitable for sneaking due to the noise they inevitably produced. However, the word was in use at least as early as 1887, as the Boston Journal of Education made reference to “sneakers” as “the name boys give to tennis shoes”.
Conclusion: Tennis shoes were referred to as sneakers by mischievous boys back in the day and should really be called tennis shoes.
