Today I had lunch at Coogan’s,<\/a> a saloon on Broadway and 168th Street. I’d finished one quarter of my half a panini with salad and was packing up to go. (Half a panini at Coogan’s equals two whole paninis anywhere else so I was taking half of the half home for dinner.)<\/p>\n

Near the entryway, two waitresses, one of them with her long hair in a high ponytail, were having a conversation. The ponytailed waitress turned her back to the other waitress and bent backward. She had asked a question I had not heard.<\/p>\n

“How many do you think<\/em> you have?” asked the second waitress. Then I noticed the ponytailed waitress had three small blue columns emerging from the top of her ponytail. Sort of like chopsticks, except not chopsticks.<\/p>\n

And instantly, instantly<\/em> I knew she was talking about Giuliani.<\/p>\n
