It was some night Thursday night, hundreds of miles apart. The President picked up from his Inaugural "slow dance" with the first lady……..while in Charleston, Newt actually did a decent job of flipping the "open marriage" story 48 hours before residents of South Carolina vote.

New York City Actuary Robert North Should Be Fired, and Fired Now
|Since I’m not from the political world, for me the questions are about what, not who. I generally discuss policy issues and trends in government and society at large, and seldom mention individual politicians. This keeps me out of the various flame wars, and away from the personal enmity, that characterizes both the political tribe and the internet. And I haven’t called for retribution against any individuals, with the possible exception of not voting for them.
Until now.

THE FINGER: NOT A NEW YORK ORIGINAL
|New Yorkers love to give the finger; especially drivers on its roadways. If while driving, you swerve sharply to avoid hitting someone suddenly stopping in front of you; you can expect the person driving in the other lane (the one you swerved in front of), to give you the finger (the middle-finger to be exact). If you are in the subway jostling for position on a crowded train-platform, don’t expect that when you accidentally bump someone, you will not get yourself “a finger”.

Just for laughs, a reprint of the entirety of David Storobin's political campaign contribution for his entire lifetime.
Fun fact: the first and (so far) the largest by far went to the 2009 Comptroller campaign of (you’ll wet your pants laughing):
With Convention Center, maybe Cuomo is on to something? Restoring glory days to New York
|Residents of New York State have always taken pride in their history. The glory days of being America's leader of many industries.
And some of us say Bravo to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for daring to return to those glory days.

State Senate candidate Storobin has proved himself so beyond the Pale (and I don't mean "of Settlement") that I almost ignored this story for fear that pointing out he said despicable things about Obama might help him.

ANON: The most obvious example of dishonest propaganda that people give is cutting up quotes to leave the wrong impression. If you ask people to give an example of dishonest propaganda, that's the example they will always give.
