Need A Comeback, Go To Rehab 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Let's just all check into Rehab
. It seems to be the hip thing to do today. Did something stupid? Go to rehab! Screwed up? Go to Rehab! It cheapens the whole reason it exists.Britney Spears checked back into rehab today...perhaps she needs to, but I've noticed the endless parade of celebrities and other newsworthy individuals entering rehab. Lindsay Lohan goes to rehab at the ripe old age of 20, as does Miss USA Tara Conner for just doing what girls normally do anyway.Former Congressman Mark Foley who went from chasing teenage boys to suddenly becoming an alcoholic. Mel Gibson, who tried to use liquor to disguise his anti-Semitism, then go to rehab.Rehab is there to help people with real problems, not for celebrities who screwed up and want to make themselves look better in the public eye. It cheapens rehab, makes it look like a waiting room for comebacks.This is the only Britney Spears post, I swear.
This Is How We Get Idiot Presidents 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I am so sick and tired of these issues being considered in Presidential Races. Why can't we focus on the issues concerning American citizens and this nation rather than judge these people based on race, gender, ethnicity, religion, etc.I'm not a fan of Mitt Romney, but I will defend his right to NOT be judge based on the fact that he is a Mormon. His religion does not make him less of a better choice for President. Clearly, he is not Warren Jeffs and Massachusetts did not turn into an isolated LDS cult. We are doing a disservice to our country by ruling out potentially great leaders because of something stupid like their religious choices, their race, their gender, etc. Perhaps our best leaders may be women, Mormon, Jewish, African-American, Latino, Atheist, Homosexual...but we'll never know if we are willing to eliminate them for that reason.This is how idiots become Presidents
...we limit our choices to Alpha Male White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. We should have learned by now that a
Running A City At 27: Pittsburgh's Twentysomething Mayor 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Pittsburgh isn't necessarily one of more exciting cities in the country, unless the Steelers are playing. Being from New York, Pittsburgh is more like a tiny suburb to me than an American metropolis. It does have am interesting claim to political fame; the youngest mayor of a major city ever.Luke Ravenstahl is only 27 years old and he is the Mayor
of Pennsylvania's second largest city. His path to the head of the Steel City was a strange and unique one.Ravenstahl, a Democrat, was elected to the City Council in November 2003, only months after graduating from the University of Pittsburgh. He took office in January, 2004 at the age of 23 years, 11 months. (by comparison that means he was exactly my age when elected...weird). Ravenstahl became president of the city council in December, 2005. His elected as President was not without controversy as many wondered if, at age 25, he was old enough and experienced enough to take on that challenge. Nobody had even considered the possibility of Read more:Pittsburgh
The Democrats take on...the Democrats? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Now that the Democrats
have come back from the dead, it appears the left wing of the party is ready to not only take on the Republicans, but the moderate wing of the Democratic Party too.Case in point...Representative Ellen Tauscher of California. Tauscher is a prominent moderate Democrat, a member of the New Democratic Coalition and a Blue Dog.What is the liberal wing's problem with Tauscher? Well, it's a mix of where she's from and what she stands for. Tauscher represents the 10th district of California, just beyond the mountains from San Francisco and Oakland. It includes the San Francisco/Oakland suburbs of Walnut Creek, Livermore and Pleasant Hill, as well as Antioch and Fairfield. Her district voted 58% for John Kerry in 2004.Tauscher has not been to most prominent opponent of the Bush Administration and has backed them numerous times over the years. Tauscher supported the war in Iraq (although she opposes the troop surge) and has been accused of not being hard enough when it
The British Are Leaving, The British Are Leaving! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Yes, the British
are leaving.A sure sign the President's Iraq debacle has completely fallen apart, our greatest allies in the war, Britain, has decided to stop chasing Bush's castle in the sky.Denmark is also on their way out. Lithuania too. The "Coalition of the Willing" is suddenly becoming not so willing to follow Bush anymore.Who's left? South Korea has the third largest number of troops in Iraq, but they plan on cutting their force in half this year, then Poland, Georgia, and Australia, who all have under 1,000. Romania and Bulgaria still has a bunch of troops lying around somewhere too. Other than that, it's pretty much the Americans here on out.In hindsight, even the most hardcore Bush supporters I speak to now say this whole thing was a mistake. They've been admitting it for a while, but defend the war with such arguments as "Well, we're there now, so we have to win" or "We can't go Monday morning quarterbacking"This is true. However, we are in a war where the "mission" Read more:Leaving
Even They Have Blogs...Kudos! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Just how important have blogs become in the political media world? Even the people they cover have their own blogs now.Here in Pittsburgh, the city's top newspaper, the Post-Gazette is hosting a blog by Freshman Congressman Jason Altmire. Altmire, a Democrat, defeated Republican incumbent Melissa Hart 52%-48% in an upset win last November in a district that includes the Northern and Western suburbs of Pittsburgh. Altmire took office in January and has been keeping his constituents updated on his progress through The Freshman Class, the Congressman's blog on the Post-Gazette website.Now, about 10 days ago I praised two other Freshman Democrats on Capital Hill; Montana Senator Jon Tester and New York Representative Kirsten Gillibrand, for posting their schedules online so their constituents can see what the people they elected to represent them in this democratic government were doing to improve and protect their lives. Congressman Altmire's blog strikes me as another example of a Rep Read more:Blogs
Thanks Taegan 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Although I've only been blogging for the better part of the last month, I've been analyzing politics since I was a Sophomore in College. I would spend much of my free time between classes on a computer on campus checking political news sites to see what was going so I can talk to professors about it and so I can be the first to know.One of the sites I found in those exhaustive searches was Taegan Goddard's Political Wire. I don't remember when exactly I started checking Political Wire, but I know I've been on that site at least three times a day ever since.In the fast, time consuming world of a twenty something, many times you don't have much time to search the news sites to see what's going on in your area of interest (in my case, the political world). Thanks
to Taegan, the latest in political news is right in my favorites bar.Since I've started my blog, much of the news I read and later analyze, I first find on Political Wire. I read the headline, then the blurb, if it intere
The GOP Better Pray 1970-01-01 00:59:59 So the Senate has decided NOT to debate the Iraq Resolution passed by the House of Representatives on Friday.That's ok, because there was a vote anyway...it fell short of the 60 votes needed to reach cloture and begin the debateThe vote was 56-34, 10 Senators never showed up the vote, INCLUDING JOHN MCCAIN! Yes, McCain decided campaigning in Iowa was more important than going to, you know, do this job. Tim Johnson of South Dakota was the only Democrat to not show up to vote...but he's still recovering frm brain surgery, so it's cool.Anyway, 17 Republicans supported the Resolution in the House...7 GOP Senators supported it (while Lieberman of course opposed it).Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine)Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine)Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pennsylvania)Sen. John Warner (R-Virginia)Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Nebraska)Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minnesota)Sen. Gordon Smith (R-Oregon)Collins, Warner, Hagel, Coleman and Smith are all up for reelection in 2008 and all, except Hagel, in competitive or Dem
Who's Home State Is This? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Just how Democratic has New York State
become?So Democratic that it is willing to vote for a Democrat who adopted the Empire State as her home state vs. a home grown New Yorker.50%-40% is only a 10-point margin though, and if Hillary only beats Rudy by 10%, that's not good. (by contrast, Al Gore carried New York by 21% in 2000 and Kerry won by 18% in 2004). A 10% margin pretty much means Hillary wins the city, Westchester, Albany, Buffalo, and maybe Rochester. She looses Long Island, the Hudson Valley and probably Syracuse (and the rest of the state).Still, the GOP's hopes that a New York Republican on the ticket would win them the Empire State for the first time since 1984 are probably dashed. You could imagine how Romney does here...and McCain is, as I have said, dead in the water at this point.
The Tale Of Two Democrats 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The Popular Governor vs. The Unpopular Legislator...both from the same party, but both on opposite sides of public opinionRespondents to an online poll by Crain's New York Business overwhelmingly agreewith Gov. Eliot Spitzer that Democratic Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver is aroadblock to reform in Albany and ought to be removed.A little about Sheldon Silver; He has been Speaker of the State Assembly since 1994, when he replaced Saul Weprin (D-Queens) who passed away. He led the State Assembly through three Governors; Cuomo, Pataki and now Spitzer. Basically, he has led the State Assembly through it's entire history of being notoriously discombobulated. When a man has been in power for 17 years and has not made an already messed up body any better (perhaps worse), maybe it is time for him to go.Then this;Only 7% of respondents to the Crain's poll were unconditionally supportive ofMr. Silver, while a full 73% said Mr. Silver should be removed, and 20% said thematter should be settled Read more:Democrats

Special Election Results and News 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Since I'm out of town, I wasn't following yesterday's special elections for the two NYC Council seats...I just remembered about them. So here they are...In Brooklyn's 40th City Council District, centered around Flatbush, Democrat Mathieu Eugene defeated nine other candidates to win the seat with a plurality win of 34%. Eugene is the first Haitian-American ever elected to the City Council. He replaces Democrat Yvette Clarke who was elected to the US House of Representatives in November.In Staten Island's 51st City Council District, which includes most of Central and Southern Staten Island, Republican State Assemblyman Vincent Ignizio defeated his opponent with 71% of the vote. Ignizio replaces Andrew Lanza, another Republican, who was elected to the State Senate in November.More Specific results will be posted here when the Board of Election
s publicly releases them.Ignizio's State Assembly seat is vacant, meaning three (possibly four) State Assembly seats are currently vacant, two Read more:Special

The 2008 Free-For-All Begins 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Hollywood Vs. HillaryWhich Side is John McCain on?Oh, the next 20 months are going to be a whole lot of fun. This week alone, jabs were taken at Presidential candidates on both sides.The race for the Hollywood endorsement is never really between the Democrats or the Republicans. Democrats have a monopoly over Hollywood. Now, however, it's a race between Hillary and Obama. Big money comes from Hollywood and big money means easier nationwide campaigning. The race for celebrity endorsements between the Illinois Senator and the New York Senator got a little interesting this week, courtesy of record producer David Geffen.Geffen says;"Not since the Vietnam War has there been this level of disappointment in the behavior of America throughout the world, and I don't think that another incredibly polarizing figure, no matter how smart she is and no matter how ambitious she is -- and God knows, is there anybody more ambitious than Hillary Clinton? -- can bring the country together."I love it.

R.I.P. Bigotry and Homophobia 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Can't say I'll shed a tear over it.Bigotry
and Homophobia
, all that gay-bashing that makes me sick to my stomach, is probably the unnoticed casualty of the 2006 elections.For years under Republican rule, Gay and Lesbian Americans fell victim to Christian fundamentalist pandering and social conservative that ran rampant among the elected officials who needed the ignorant to vote for them. With Democrats in power, LGBT Americans can finally live without fear and live openly among everyone else.Sure bigotry and homophobia still exist, but if you've noticed the brouhaha that erupted over the recent anti-gay remarks made by Isaiah Washington and Tim Hardaway, the rejection of the gay marriage ban in Arizona (and near rejections in Colorado and South Dakota), and the recent legalization of civil unions in New Jersey (which was popularly supported), LGBT rights are beginning to seem perfectly normal and accepted.Having said that, I'm not a big fan of Hate Crime legislation. If someone kil
NY-13: Cusick For Staten Island? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Even with last year's Democratic landslide, there was still one Republican standing in the House from New York City.Rep. Vito Fossella, a Republican who represents New York's 13th district, including StatenIsland
and a small piece of Southwestern Brooklyn won reelection against a low-profile Democrat 57%-43%. Fossella represents a seat that is politically equally divided, and has been represented by a Republican for more than two decades, but Democrats have the district on their radar.Rep. Anthony Weiner from Brooklyn and Queens (my congressman) recently pointed out a potential opponent for Fossella in 2008 while speaking to a Democratic club in Staten Island
;"It would be great to have Mike fighting for us in Congress instead of Vito Fossella," Weiner told the crowd, which included Cusick.He is speaking of New York State Assemblyman Mike Cusick (D-Staten Island), who represents a huge swath of the middle of the island, including some of the island's (and New York City's) fastest g
Children Should Not Be Kept Ignorant 1970-01-01 00:59:59 A federal judge in Boston has dismissed a suit by two families who wanted to stop a Massachusetts town and its public school system from teaching their children about gay marriage, court documents show. Oh God forbid we teach our children about gay relationships, God forbid they should become accepting of homosexuality, God forbid we don't keep reality from them so we can teach them the hatred and bigotry that we believe.I am so sick of people saying if we teach our children to accept homosexuality, then they will try it and become gay. Can we be anymore ignorant. Oh, and don't argue with me that to teach our children about homosexuality violates your religious beliefs. Religion doesn't teach ignorance, if you disagree with what the schools are teaching your kids, you have every right to teach them your ideas in the comfort of your own home. If they don't side with you, that's their prerogative, not the school's fault and not society's fault.Our government (through which our sch Read more:Children

The Nassau GOP Pipe Dream 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Mondello is staying put. The man who has led the once powerful Nassau
Republicans right off a cliff is going to continue to drag the party down until they, I don't know, end up like the Brooklyn Republicans.you would think after loosing;-Control of the County Legislature-the County Executive race...twice-two Congressional seats-the District Attorney's race-two State Assembly seats-a State Senate seatin just the past 10 years, it's probably time for new leadership for the party, but not for the Republicans. I guess when you have full power in the place for over 50 years and then suddenly loose, you refuse to accept you actually lost it.The loss of the 7th State Senate seat was the last straw for the Nassau GOP. They've held all the State Senate seats in Nassau County for over 30 years, to lose one, especially in a special election, is just dreadful for them.Oh well, let's see how easy it's going to be for Mondello to fundraise and support candidates with the Nassau GOP almost brok Read more:Dream
Do They Even Need Lieberman Anymore? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 To be honest, I never really like Joe Lieberman
, even back in 2000. There was something about this guy that bugged me. Now I know what it is, the hypocrisy. Lieberman loves to call himself "the great independent" and he loves to argue how we should work in a "bipartisan" way. Meanwhile when a bipartisan resolution to oppose the troops escalation came to the floor, he voted against it. Lieberman says he "won't switch to the GOP" and will continue to caucus with the Democrats. Of course, cause if he doesn't, all the other Democrats will be united and half the Senate will vote the way the people want.Lieberman attacks the Democrats for wanting to "score partisan points" by opposing the President's plan, yet he caucuses with them. Now, yes, the Democrats do score partisan points initially and possibly long-term thanks to popular opinion, but remember why the Democrats won in 2006. They won because they were opposed to Bush, they won because the voters wanted someone to put pressure on t
The Amazing Disappearing New York State GOP 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Is the New York Republican Party even relevant anymore?A question that needs to be asked. We all know that the New York GOP is reeling. The party last all four major statewide races in landslides in 2006 (even won where the Democrat was sinking in scandal). They lost three House seats and nearly lost three more. They lost three State
Assembly seats, where they were already a super minority, and lost a State Senate seat in Westchester. They narrowly kept a Queen State Senate seat where Republican Serphin Maltese, in office since 1986, won by a mere 783 votes (and that with the Democratic party in the area endorsing him.) The icing on the cake of death was this month's special election on Long Island for a State Senate seat where a Democrat won a Republican's seat.Can it get any worse for the New York GOP? Well, they still control the State Senate, by a narrow margin. Two more seats will tie the chamber 31-31 with Democratic Lieutennant Governor David Paterson breaking the tie, effecti Read more:Amazing

Taking Back The Wheel 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Now I understand the powers of a Commander-in-Chief and I respect them. However, when it becomes increasingly clear the Commander-in-Chief is commanding our military right off a cliff, then it's time for someone to do something about it.I do not think our founding fathers believed in allowing our President complete unrestricted control of the military to use it whenever he wants, wherever he wants, without a check from one of the other two branches of government. That's why I am really happy to see that the Democrats are planning to revoke the vague authority given to the President in 2002, which he used to invade Iraq and replace it with a more specific mission.This is what the 2002 resolution stated;That measure authorized the president to use the armed forces "as hedetermines to be necessary and appropriate ... to defend the defend the nationalsecurity of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq"So pretty much the President can keep us in this war until HE dee Read more:Taking
We Want To Win 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The long-term impact of the Tinseltown tussle between the Clinton and Obama campaigns is no big deal, but it showcases a big issue in the primary campaign.At issue: Can Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-New York, or Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, be elected president? Ah, there's that 800 pound gorilla in the room. It isn't bad enough that we're talking about the first woman and the first African-American (not, as I said earlier, should that be an issue), but also we have Hillary's waffling and baggage, Obama's inexperience and the fact that both of them are U.S. Senators and the Senate isn't necessarily the best springboard to the Presidency.Democrats like both Clinton and Obama, but the question is "can they win?" Democrats want a winner. They're tired of loosing. They're on an adrenaline rush after the 2006 elections and they want to take back all levels of the government. Democrats don't want another Scalia or Alito on the Supreme Court, they don't want anymore of the failing neoco

They Don't Deserve This! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 This is how we treat our returning heroes.Shame on the Pentagon, Shame on the government, Shame on all of us. This story has been bothering me for days and I've been waiting to read more about it before I say it...shame, and all Secretary Gates can say is that it's "unacceptable?"This is WALTER REED! This is the top of the notch place where our heroes are supposed to come home and recooperate...worse yet, these are our heroes who were injured, how lost limbs and nearly lost lives for their country, and we send them to THIS place?Our heroes deserve better. They do not deserve second best, they do not deserve shoddy conditions or bueaucratic red tape. This happens under an administration who believes it is "supporting the troops"Like it isn't bad enough already that we've sent them into a war for false reasons and are keeping them there "as long as it takes" to acheive some sort of "victory." It's not bad enough that we sent them there with half-assed equiptment and not well protect
The Gay Purge MUST Stop 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Today, I can across an e-mail sent by the so-called American Family Association, you know, the group that fights to protect families, so long as they are white, middle/upper-class, married, male, female, two children, two cars, living in a house families.The e-mail was sent to oppose to upcoming gay rights fight that is looming on Capitol Hill. Specifically against the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and hate crimes legislation. This appeared in the e-mail:"Employers will be forced to hire homosexuals.""Landlords will be forced to rent to homosexuals."It is sick and disgusting that we still live in a country where ANYONE would think this is OK. If somebody said "Employers should not be forced to hire African-Americans or women" we'd be disgusted, why is this any different.The AFA and other social conservatives are looking to purge America of homosexuals, it's that simple. They are out to persecute LGBT Americans. Just last week in Detroit, a very BLUE city, a 72 year old man was be Read more:Purge
At Least They're Working 2007-02-28 02:58:02 Nobody knows what to do with Iraq...even the Democrats. They don't want to stay, they don't want to go, their hands are tied and there's only so much they can do to bring this administration back to earth.Sure they're divided, I'm happy they're divided and following the Democratic leadership blindly (as the Republicans had done.) Anyway, Congress isn't doing anything, they're working;"We have got to finish this bill," Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said as he opened the Senate session. He read parts of a letter from relatives of people killed in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks asking the Senate to consider the legislation "without complications regarding Iraq."Senator Reid is talking about the bill to implement the 9/11 recommendations and tighten homeland security rules. Quite frankly, with how important Iraq is, the Democrats are not going to bring the war to end two months after taking office. I'm kind of certain it is going to take much of their two year term and
You're Really Not THAT Special 2007-02-27 18:58:37 Finally, a study has proven what I've been saying for years...We're making our children to self-centered and narcissistic."We need to stop endlessly repeating 'You're special' and having children repeat that back," said the study's lead author, Professor Jean Twenge of San Diego State University. "Kids are self-centered enough already."This whole concept of telling kids endlessly that their special and there's no one like them has good intentions written all of it, but as a child myself in the early 1990's, even I realized it was a little bit over the top.It's great that parents want to increase their child's self-confidence, but there's a thin line between teaching our kids self-confidence and then teaching them they're perfect, special and that people should worship them.It is when they hit college, the truth begins to clash with that they've been taught for years. They're not so special or so perfect after all, but they fight, because they believe they deserve everythi Read more:Special

Don't Punish New Orleans 2007-03-01 23:43:00 Amidst all the brouhaha about the appointment of the corrupt piece of garbage Congressman William Jefferson (D-Louisiana) to the Homeland Security committee, there is something everyone is forgetting...his constituents.Yes, Jefferson has been dogged by scandal, he is corrupt, he is the worst possible type of politicians, but something has happened since Pelosi stripped him off the Ways and Means Committee...an election happened.And it wasn't as if Jefferson wasn't targeted. Another Democrat, Karen Carter, ran against Jefferson and got support from a large number of Democrats around the country. (I rooted for Cater to defeat Jefferson.) However, the people of New Orleans
, for some ungodly reason, reelected the jerk.Pelosi put him on the Homeland Security committee to serve the people of New Orleans, 43% of whom did not vote for Jefferson.
