Or better yet, are they going to have giant jars around California where you have to pay a quarter to the "Cuss Jar" for everytime you say a bad word?

And for the first time in years, the Democrats are in charge. Though they just kicked one Democrat out of the Senate 'cause he was convicted of assault (Hiram Monserrate). Though he switched to the Republican Party right before his conviction to give the Republicans the majority so that they wouldn't have to pass a Gay Marriage Law, but then he went back to the Democrats again. Oh, and the entire state legislature went on strike this summer and refused to go to Albany for 2 months. They are useless and crazy. Not a good combination for a state government. It's so crazy that I forget to add them in to my posts because no one would believe me anyway...BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-20764960006093393072010-02-28T00:28:29.061-05:002010-02-28T00:28:29.061-05:00well Bev, I have to admit snow seems foreign to me...well Bev, I have to admit snow seems foreign to me right now although I spent a night in Medford, New jersey before my return to east Tennessee. We only had flurries here, but it still is too cold to golf.<br /><br />Patterson and Rangle, amusing though they might be sem to me to be the worst government has to offer. As for the Nets, the NBA seems to have an appeal anymore on par with the W.W.E. I am so glad you are there to report on it all cause it would drive me bonkers. Bless you!

I can't stand him as an announcer because he won't shut up -- he talks over all of his guests and he doesn't listen to a word they say. But he is a very smart guy.<br /><br />In terms of politics, he's generally a free market guy, but he is very pro-Big Business. I kind of doubt he would fit the Tea Party mold, but he would easily be an improvement over any Democrat. Honestly, he sounds about as far right as New York is ever likely to get.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-77145843661906610362010-02-27T22:35:04.242-05:002010-02-27T22:35:04.242-05:00Bev: Good Lord!

Adam Clayton Powell, the 3rd! Now that is truly "what goes around comes around"! Though I hear that ACP, the 3rd may have some ethics issues himself which may keep him from running.BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-21332267065096760832010-02-27T22:07:19.485-05:002010-02-27T22:07:19.485-05:00Well Bev, life in the big city!

It is possible that we could have snow sometime in March too. Yes warm clothes (coat, gloves, hat, and good boots) are a must. Now's a good time to get them. Lots of sales!<br /><br />Andrew - My understanding is that Patterson's long time assistant has a problem with women in the attempted rape department. There has been a big cover up and Patterson has been accused of personally calling on the victim to get her to drop charges. Patterson swears she called him for a deal. This isn't the first time for one of Patterson's appointees. He had another who couldn't pay his taxes because of some obsessive-compulsive disorder that kept him from filing. I'm not paranoid or anything, but I think it's funny how the press came out with this just at exactly the same time as he was announcing his campaign. Truly Obama did not want him to run. The press was actually calling for him to resign immediately. It was definitely "pile on Patterson" week.<br /><br />You're probably right about Rangel, but a girl can dream can't she?BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-32133547429982583812010-02-27T21:53:41.057-05:002010-02-27T21:53:41.057-05:00Bev: Your crooked politicians are a lot like our ...Bev: Your crooked politicians are a lot like our crooked politicians, but you just have so many more than we do. LOL<br /><br />I'm sorry to hear that Bernie Kerik was found guilty. He did a great service to the City of New York, but nobody is above the law, and even great men have flaws.<br /><br />At least Patterson got into the race, even if only for a few short days. Our resident cuckoo, Jerry Brown, is leading in all the polls for Governor of California, and he <i>still</i> hasn't formally announced that he's running.<br /><br />As for Rangel, the last time you had such a notorious crook, ethics-mangler and tax-dodger was Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. They censured him, removed him from office, and at the next election, his constituents re-elected him. New York City definitely does things in a big way.<br /><br />That picture was beautiful. I miss snow. We have to travel out of the Bay Area to see the real thing.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-83916892097143749672010-02-27T21:44:58.260-05:002010-02-27T21:44:58.260-05:00P.S.

He's been on the edge for so long now that the slightest new incident was going to topple him.<br /><br />I'm not entirely sure what he did -- something about naked people being slammed into mirrors is all I've heard, but it was only a matter of time.<br /><br />As for Rangel, I still think they're going to have to take him out of the House feet first. . . and even then, he'll probably hand the seat to a relative as his dying act.
