Non-News
In a sane world the new news about the NY governor past use of drug will be a non-event. But in reality where we demand our elected official to hold extreme puritan standards this non-news getting amazingly large coverage. We grant a lot of power for our politicians and than set some crazy standards to drive a way any sane person from participating in this crazy game. No wonder we don’t see any more statesmen like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson.
Better headline
This is funny:
To borrow from this Hit & Run comment, I nominate the following for tomorrow’s NY Post headline: “Prostitute Admits Link to Eliot Spitzer; Resigns From Escort Service in Disgrace”
What is interesting about the entire scandal is that Spitzers’ fall for his least offensive act. Although I will be glad if he will vanish, I prefer that it will be about his abuse of power, his authoritarian governing approach and the lack of understanding of the democratic process. Although, I guess, the reaction and the unavoidable fall is largely because of the former reasons.
Canvassing is working!
My wife just sent me the detailed results of the primaries in NY. Apparently canvassing had its results:
1. Ron Paul total NY was approximately 7%
2. Ron Paul Results in our Township (Clarkstown) - 5.9%
3. Ron Paul Results in our Precinct (022) - 15.9%!
It is nice to know that the efforts had some results.
