Weather: Another cloudy day with rain off-and-on throughout the day. Story of the Day: A mistake on this Bronxite’s birth certificate is causing him to suffer “a bureaucratic nightmare.” The NY Post reports that the man’s first name on his birth certificate was mistakenly entered as “Male.” Although, his social security card and Medicaid card have his proper name, David Rivera, he has not been able to get a job or apply to college because of the mix up. And to top it off, he is always under the threat of being arrested by the NYPD for not having proper ID.
