GOP Council candidate Holloran ignored repeated requests from NARAL and Planned Parenthood to return their questionnaires. Perhaps unsurpisingly, they've enthusiastically endorsed his opponent, Democrat Kevin Kim.
Rep. Pete King said Wednesday that putting Sept 11 plotters on trial in New York City would be a security "time bomb" placing citizens at greater risk.
With all due respect, Mr tough guy Long Islander, we'll take it from here, OK? We'll try this scumbag right here at the scene of the crime and you try not to lose any sleep about it.
NBC's Betsy Cline tried to ask Rangel about the ethics probe and his chairmanship outside the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington D.C. "Do you foresee the ethics panel investigation hindering your work as chairman of House Ways and Means?" she asked.
"If I did, I would not continue to be the chair," Rangel said.
And then:
Cline: "How exactly did you forget to file that on your taxes?"
Rangel: "You shouldn't be that way, you know that? I know it's your job and I don't blame you, but it's really so rude."

When the residents of New York State sent a Democratic majority to Albany last November, they did so believing that it would signal a new day in Albany; for five months, it did. We have made tough choices throughout the process of restoring funding to Medicare, ensuring our schools are adequately funded, and protecting our environment.
But there is more work to be done. There are still problems, including repairing school aid formulas, improving infrastructure, and making sure Long Island receives its fair share of State resources, left to address. These are issues the senate Republicans had 40 years to fix, and did not. Now, they are claiming the senate Democrats have been ineffective because these issues have not been addressed. If they could not fix it in forty years, how can they reasonably expect us to be able to fix it in five months?

This talk by physician and medical professor Stephen Bezruchka is both long (over an hour) and costs money to download. You should do it anyway. Really, really important info-- and the 5 bucks goes to support Alternative Radio.
