As if it wasn’t embarrassing enough to be a Conservative after the In-Out election campaign spending scandal broke, the party is continuing to abuse the MP communication budget by spamming phony questionnaires to ridings where they don’t have a seat.

The Boston Globe and one of its columnists, James Carroll, have sunk to a new low .

When Guttenberg Mayor David Delle Donna resigned his position today, he ended a long, drawn-out process that should never have happened. His resignation is a good sign of how the justice process works (occasionally) in this country.Yet throughout this whole trial, one person, Javier Inclan, a former Hudson County clerk and a current adviser to Gov. Jon S. Corzine, who had close ties to Delle Donna while he was active in politics in Guttenberg, has gotten off without any kind of punishment. And it’s a travesty that he has, because truth be told, he had just as important a role in this case as anyone else did. And meanwhile, Corzine is praising Inclan for having the courage to testify in such a high-profile case.“The governor commends Javier for his effort and he believes it takes courag
Posted on April 28th, 2008 11:20 amThe New York Post isn’t known for its subtlety. Or its quality. Therefore, it wasn’t shocking to find the controversial, racy Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair photo adorning this newspaper’s front page this morning, headlined by: Miley’s Shame. The headline of the Post says it all. Here’s the front page of the paper…We do wonder, however, how long it took editors at this tabloid to decide that this quasi-naked photo of Cyrus deserved top billing over the Roger Clemens-Mindy McCready scandal. Let’s just say we’d be surprised if tomorrow’s front page story on The New York Post isn’t a shot of these two celebrities, accompanied by the headline: Roger’d That!
I had a client once who asked me if I thought shame was at the core of his emotional difficulties, and I apparently responded that "shame is at the core of all emotional difficulties." This is one of those lines that I immediately forgot I said until this client returned years later for a brief consultation and informed me that he never forgot that sentence. Whenever I witness intense negative emotions I assume that a core of shame is fueling its power. Shame seems to magnify whatever it touches. Shame turns anger into rage and resentment, anxiety into panic, sadness into suicide, organization and order into obsession, and instability into chaos. Shame keeps secrets, increases isolation, numbs the senses and promotes self-loathing. Shame is elusive, often denying its own presence.

In the wake of the massive loan failures of many banks worldwide due to bad mortgages and other risky loans I have been more skeptical of corporate self governance, let alone the governments ability to see beyond itself to address real issues that are obvious, before they become crisis. How many corporate executives really think that their risky high interest loans and credit cards are not ultimately harmful for most consumers?
Who among us right now doesn't hold those banks accountable to their own misery? I have little sympathy for them and have zero interest in bailing them out. I have only some sympathy for poor home buyers (first time home buyers new to the system and easily conned).

From The Promise of a New Day, April 16: " Shame is a little whip we always carry with us. ..We often use it to punish our feelings, because they evoke the helpless children we were. So we learn to suppress our feelings of fear, or rage, or desire. We would rather not feel at all, than feel the sting of shame... Self- love and self-acceptance can make us strong enough to discard the little whip. We're much more lovable when we acknowledge our humanity and let go of our shame. We're also better able to love others. Shame shuts us up; love opens us to joy".Yeah, I know that whip well. I would beat myself up all the time. It's much easier to beat ourselves than to acknowledge that we are human. that we make mistakes. that we have feelings and failings. It's easier to beat others up too - inst

For 8 years I’ve been tortured by construction going on outside my window. One building after another on East 51st, which my apartment faces, has been knocked down and built up since 2000. Drilling, clanking, banging and trucks beeping is the music I write to, eat with, try to ignore when I want to relax and get wake to at 7AM, every day. This morning it was 7:30. There’s no mercy on weekends! Today there was a tragic example of how construction companies get preference over the welfare of New York City’s residents. The very tall crane used on a building going up at 303 East 51nd Street, diagonally across from my windows, crashed across the street, smashing a small apartment building. It was 10 minutes after I’d left to go to brunch. I’m grateful I wasn’t here to see it happen.

In September 2003, Israfil Shiri, a gay Iranian asylum seeker, died after pouring petrol over himself and setting himself on fire in the offices of Refugee Action in Manchester, after his asylum claim was refused (in the lower and appeal court) and his deportation to Iran, where he would have been hanged, had been arranged. Iranian authorities had obtained documented evidence of his sexuality.In April 2005 Hussein Nasseri shot himself two weeks after his asylum claim was turned down by the Home Office, refusing in this way to let himself be killed by Iranian executioners.In 2005 then Home Secretary Charles Clarke was asked by Stonewall to intervene when an Appeal court judge used the following language in turning down a refugee's claim:'He [the asylum seeker] says he fled when he realised
