The House Should Get Its Own Zip Code and Mayor

In yet another shining example of the housing situation in Nassau, village inspectors found a Hempstead house that held 28 people.

Next door they found a house with a even worse situation. According to officials, it held:

Two single moms
One old guy
Two Bengali tigers
The Harlem Globetrotters
Three of Bill Clinton's mistresses
A dozen illegal aliens looking for contruction work
Five cans of Pringles
An Iranian nuclear power plant
Three fugitives featured on "America's Most Wanted"
Town of Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray

Maybe Building That THIRD Story Was a Bad Idea


File this under what we're calling "Long Irony." (Get it? Long Island? Irony? Long Irony?) John Loeffel, the buildings commissioner in Hempstead, failed to have his own home properly assessed after he expanded his little one-story cape to a three-story monster (see the photo we stole from Newsday at left).

Too bad Supervisor Kate Murray, who lobbied hard to get this guy his job, was in the dark. But wait--Newsday says she lives on the same street as Loeffel!

Next up in Hempstead: A restaurant owned by the health commissioner will be found to harbor bubonic plague.
