In the run-up to its All-Star game this weekend, the NBA has released a series of photos depicting players standing sideways on the New York City subway. The New Orleans Pelicans' Anthony Davis (who had to withdraw due to injury) can be seen above.
These pictures are supposed to be funny, or at least cute. Really though, they're kind of gross. Have you been on the New York City subway? If you haven't, go to Bourbon Street, jump barefoot into the smelliest puddle you can find, then wash off in the Mississippi and you'll be half as dirty as the typical New York City subway floor.
Here is what a typical ride on the New York City Subway is like, depicted with 100 percent accuracy:
Some 5.5 million people use the subway every day and that leads to a lot of disgusting things being left all over a subway car's surfaces. National Geographic recently posted a report on what they found when they analyzed those surfaces, showing high levels of "fecal matter" and "staph" on all subway cars. Sure, National Geographic said the subway is still perfectly safe, but these guys are also OK with hippo poop in your ear.
So in short: Anthony Davis really should go take a bath.
Louisiana Secretary of State Tom Schedler’s office was one of only two agencies that have not verified for state auditors the number of sexual harassment complaints they have received internally.

Time to forgive and forget? Forgive but never forget? Or neither? I'm not sure. Katrina and the federal floods are still too fresh, and probably always will be.
