In a post to Reddit’s AmITheA****** (AITA) sub on November 9, user u/RepresentativeRow608 explained that her babysitting shift was supposed to finish at midnight, but come 2:20 a.m., the couple still wasn’t home and were ignoring her text messages. Fed up with waiting, RepresentativeRow608 then told them that their burglar alarm had gone off, scaring them into coming home in an Uber.

On ‘The Pride of Frankenstein’: “Mel Brooks and I grew up together in a tenement neighborhood in Brooklyn. As typical teenagers, we’d hang around with our friends, and Mel would have us laughing hysterically just about all the time.” Charles Hersch, Lincoln, Mass. A Possible Presidential Bid I lived in New York City during the Rudy Giuliani-Michael Bloomberg mayoral baton handoff in 2001–2002 (“The Revolutionary,” Nov. 12) and remember feeling agitated by Bloomberg’s elitist manner in how he “bought” his way into city hall....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is just about here and the anticipation for this game is off the charts, literally. It’s already broken records for pre-orders and it’s expected to be the biggest release of 2009. To give you a little more of a tease of what’s to come, here’s the new must-watch launch trailer that’s been airing on TV: I’ve played a bit of Modern Warfare 2 and while the gameplay is Call of Duty at its best, it is disappointingly missing some critical features that many modern gamers not only expect, but in some cases need to fully enjoy what they want from the game....

Confronted by evidence that the Khmer Rouge, under the leadership of Pol Pot, has made military gains in virtually every province of the country, and with congressional support for Washington’s policy crumbling, Baker cut his losses.
