NY Gov. David Paterson on SNL

Fred Armison did his impersonation of New York Governor David Paterson on SNL last night. These aren't hilarious, but the blind joke is pretty funny. It's even funnier because of the fact that Paterson gets irritated about it. The New Jersey joke is good as well.

Dear MTA, Go to Hell

This news comes despite a increase in ridership and a decrease in services.
NEW YORK (AP) -- An MTA finance committee has voted to raise transit fares.

The cost of a single subway or bus ride would increase from $2 to $2.50 under the plan passed Monday afternoon by a committee of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

The price of a monthly MetroCard would go up to $103, from $81. The increases would take effect June 1.

Gov. David Paterson and state lawmakers are at odds over a deal to head off the fare increases. The Legislature has until Wednesday to agree on a plan for closing the MTA's $1.1 billion gap.
