News from Nassau

The NY Times examines overdevelopment in Nassau County, which sounds an awful lot like overdevelopment in parts of Queens County:

It's also great that you got a taste of your own medicine Crapper with the Patriots site. We even beat you with great coverage in the Daily News today. You're not getting the hits you once were getting and the same two or three losers are blogging.

Nice to see your comments are dwindling because your stories suck.

Time to flush!
