In case you've all spent the week trying to decipher Michelle Bachman's Gardisil/mental retardation association, or wondering why yesterday's temperature dropped from 80 to 55 between noon and 9PM, here's a quick wrap-up of juicy FiPS news that graced the pages of our blog this week:

* Councilmember Brad Lander Speaks Out on BK Attacks: After a general consensus that the NYPD wasn't doing enough to keep the ladies of the Slope safe, our councilman writes:  "We need to hold the police, the press, your politicians (yes, me too), and each other accountable, to take sexual assault seriously." You're so dreamy, Brad.

* Fucked in Brooklyn - High Murder and Theft Rates: Everyone is fucked.

* OK, Who Are These People?!: We finally debunked the identity of the mysterious, yellow-clad clappers outside of the B/Q station at 7th ave. 

* Al Di La Purse Snatcher Thwarted By Badass Wait Staff: It's exactly what it sounds like. 

* BK May Have More Than One Attacker On The Loose: Third Suspect Sketch Released: Commenters are starting to wonder if the attacks are some kind of initiation. An interesting theory, indeed. 

* Who Gives a Shit - Have You Ever Had an IPhone Stolen in Park Slope?: The answer is yes. See above. "High Theft Rates." Perhaps reconsider playing Angry Birds while walking from the subz to your apartment, guys.
