Angry New Yorker

Semi-Daily Rants from New York City's Angry Man

"As I know more of mankind I expect less of them, and am ready now to call a man a good man, upon easier terms than I was formerly." - Dr. Samuel Johnson, Boswell, Life of Johnson, Sept. 1783

Riddle me this, Mr. Bloomberg... The NYC.gov website is extremely useful -- plenty of info that five years ago would have been either inaccessible, hidden in some office time forgot, or just a pain to access. So I'm thankful. Thanks.
But I noticed something very strange... and a bit disconcerting. The Major's webpage offers streaming audio in Windows ASX media format... essentially rebroadcasts of the weekly radio show the Mayor does with John Gambling on 77 WABC radio. Instead of the commercials that run during the live radio show, there's are city announcements during the breaks -- but, get, this... the announcements are all read by a woman with a distinctive upper-crust British accent. Now, wassup with dat?
