Yesterday was Super Tuesday - one of the biggest news events so far in 2008. Here's amNewYork's coverage of the primaries from yesterday:
Page 7: Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and Amy Winehouse.
Page 11: Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
It's nice to see that amNewYork has its priorities in place.

This article was in today's sports section in amNewYork, and it was probably written by either a 10 year-old, or a 29 year-old who lives in his parents' basement on Staten Island:
Um, you're not actually taking this seriously, are you? You do realize that it's all staged, right?
I guess this is ...

This morning's amNewYork cover story is about a building in Lower Manhattan that is leaning! This is huge news. Why? Because nothing is better than making comparisons to the "strangely similar" Leaning Tower of Pisa. In fact, here's a list of reasons how this building and the one in Pisa are ...

From today's amNewYork:
A G-man? Really?! Which one? Eli Manning? Plexico Burress? Amani Toomer?

This morning, amNewYork broke a huge news story: the MTA is installing and testing projection screens with ads in New York City Subway stations.
This would be news... if they didn't start testing these screens over three months ago. If you ride the subway in New York, you've probably walked through one of the hub stations where ...

From today's amNewYork comes a subtle, yet obvious error:
Today is the eve of the New Hampshire primary. Yesterday - Sunday - was not. On second thought, the use of the word "yesterday" in that sentence doesn't make any sense in the first place.
The quality writing in amNewYork: you get what you pay for.

I could touch on the fact that amNewYork seems to be taking a vacation; today's issue was a pathetic 32 pages - about 30% smaller than usual. But instead, take a look at this gem of a punctuation job on page 7.
I have yet to determine just what that character is at the end, but ...

I talk a lot of smack about amNewYork each week, but there's one section I have rarely (okay, only once) poked fun at: Friday's Five-on-Five. Each week, their sportswriters put together an amusing - and even sometimes laugh-out-loud funny - wrap-up of the week's sports news. And while it was ...

Hey, here's a free event to enjoy tonight, according to today's amNewYork:
Yes, he reads from his memoir tonight. Here's a picture of Edwidge Danticat:
Wow. That's the ugliest man I've ever seen.

You can never get in enough riffs on amNewYork, even in a holiday-shortened week. So here's one from today's issue.
Lastest! It's not last! It's not latest! It's two-two-two words in one!
