Thought for the New Week:
“Matrimony loves company”
And that, my friends, may not be its sole resemblance to misery.
The Times: “In drafting a compromise, however, Senator Saland and other Republicans insisted on language that carves out exceptions for religious institutions and not-for-profit corporations affiliated with those religious entities….There was simply no need for these exemptions…"
Wrong. There was a need.
They were necessary to get the law passed.

The ultimate expression of the Albany mindset.
No one but a lunatic (Ruby Diaz) wanted an actual debate, because everyone had made up their minds.
The fight detailed in this article was between those who wanted to go thru the kabuki of explaining their votes during the roll call, and those who preferred the kabuki of making the 11 o'clock news.
True to form, Kevin Parker found this to be an important matter of principal, and had a hissy fit, actually trying to exit the chamber when Mr. DeMille wouldn't give him his close-up.
Parker says he was upset because of his burning need to explain to his constituents why he voted for the bill.
Yes, it's such a burning issue in his district that after he voted for it the last time, Parker faced a primary from a guy who held the same exact stance on the matter, and still managed to get only 72% of the vote.

“Here's the story,
Of a lovely lady,
Who was schtupping with a very pretty Mayor.
she looked down and felt some fearsome itching,
their were soft shell crablets,
…in her pubic hair.
Here's the story,
Of a Mayor named Lindsay,
Who was busy with five boros of his own.
It was four tough years, next stop the White House,
But he still had time to stop and bone” Flo's cootie call www.nypost.com

Despite the strong competition from Kevin Parker and Steve Schiffman, there can be only one “Boob of the Day.”
Most astonishing Bullshit:
" I have always maintained that if one dislikes my columns, then simply stop reading them. That’s a plain and simple human request. One doesn’t have to make a negative comment near each time down the floor. If I offend someone in my columns then they do have legal options for remedies."
Wrong Rock.
Not offering people non-judicial means to correct inaccurate and malicious slurs upon their reputation is unspeakable, especially since the standard for libeling an elected official makes it nearly impossible for them to use a legal remedy.
For months, we’ve watched Rock delighting in answering the pack of trolls who fill his comments section with idiotic insults.
He loves it.
But just once watch someone challenge his facts and analysis and he runs away like a scared little schoolgirl who just wet her panties.
A columnist who refuses to subject himself to the simple accuracy test of a comments section is like a eunuch at the orgy.
Rock Hackshaw is a pitiful pathetic simpering whimpering coward.
And Ben smith had better be concerned what allowing this to occur will do to his own reputation. CLOSING OFF MY COMMENTS-SECTION FROM FOOLS | Room Eight www.r8ny.com
