The return of George Costanza. Why counting votes isn’t as easy as 1, 2, 3 | The Empire empire.wnyc.org
(And it’s not just a matter of physical resemblance; as the dissembling illustrated in the link shows quite clearly.
Once, while on the payroll of Senate Minority Leader Marty Connor, Richman shirk a day's work to serve as doorman at a VIP Party at the Democratic State Convention and, forgetting who paid his salary, told Connor he was not on the guest list and blocked him from entering.
Richman returned to his place of work to find he had none; his personal possessions were packed into a box outside his office door. Not missing a beat, he moved the box back into his lair and, in true Costanza fashion, pretended he was still employed for the next two weeks.
This is a man born to work at the Board of Elections while pretending to be a marine biologist.)
Can anyone explain to me why we need to save OTB?
I understand saving the jobs (although far more useful people are set to be laid off), but can we at least re-assign these folks to same place where they might do something useful? New York City OTB rescue bill may have the votes to pass, Senate Dems say www.nydailynews.com
Uninformed Comment of the Day:
"…we've already set a precedent with the Monserrate expulsion that if you commit a criminal assault, even a misdemeanor, you have forfeited the seat by your own conduct."
Actually, Parker was not convicted of Assault; he was acquitted of the assualt counts. the albany project:: Senator Kevin Parker Found Guilty of Misdemeanor Criminal Mischief 209.98.77.34
Sampson created his own problem here. Last year, before the expulsion vote, he proposed a compromise to let Monserrate keep his seat, pending his appeal.
By advocating that expulsion hinge solely on the matter of whether Monserrate misdemeanor conviction was sustained, Sampson elevated the importance of the conviction itself, even though the Monserrate Report made clear the conviction was not the reason they were recommending expulsion.
As such, Sampson advocated making conviction for a misdemeanor the dispositive question. Even more absurdly, Parker voted for the Sampson Compromise. I happen to believe the Senate should have expelled Parker a long time ago, on the basis of his official misconduct, and that this conviction does not add anything to the case for expulsion (nor would a total acquittal have subtracted from it). But I can’t help thinking that Sampson’s prior position (and Parker’s) has boxed him into a corner. Sampson: ‘No Comparison’ Between Parker And Monserrate www.capitaltonight.com

Don't get me wrong, I think the billboard preaching atheism is idiocy which totally misreads its audience by forfeiting the most appealing aspect of the product it's supposed to be selling. The best thing about atheists is that they don't preach! The best thing about them is that they leave us TF alone! Their billboard is just stoopid!
That being said, this screed by Bill Donohue, accusing atheists of hatemongering for arguing for their beliefs, manages to do the seemingly impossible and make the billboard look smart by comparison.
