Leftovers: Sex, Lies & Videotape

• Story of, perhaps, the year, courtesy of Dan Gross: NBC 10 traffic reporter John Ogden was handcuffed and it was caught on video. (He ended up not being charged with anything — “wrong place, wrong time” it seems.) But the actual best part of it was that CBS 3 bought the video without knowing Ogden was in it. They say they’re not going to air it, which is good for the contest-winning traffic reporter, but bad for the other 1.4 million Philadelphians. [DN]

• I’m going to try to link this story about “city girl” speak without, like, writing some sort of city girl speak. Wait… d’oh! [New York Observer]

• An update: The meeting between John Street and James Kenney was not just them, it was a four-way with Bob Brady and Frank DiCicco. Ew, that’s nasty. [DN]

• Rumor of the Day: Judy Miller is going to be writing for Atlantic Monthly. And Steve Glass has the cover in the next issue of, uh, N+1. [Gawker]

• This article in Slate about how drug testing doesn’t deter students from drug usage is good, but I love the caption on the stock photograph even better: “A student smokes a joint.” [Slate]

• People are so scared of peak oil — the idea that, essentially, we’re going to run out — they’re acquiring land in the desert to start new lives when the shit hits the fan. Uh, I’ll continue being not stupid, thank you very much. [Salon]

• The prostitute/”real estate agent” who was allegedly murdered by a bouncer was dismembered after her death, according to testimony. And then a 17-year-old allegedly shot the bouncer. Wow. [NBC 10]
