Soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are coming home to find their veterans’ benefits fail to cover the rising cost of a college education, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer said this week.

File this under “Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then”. Schumer is a piece of crap, but he is getting on the right wagon this time.

Political motivation? Sure, but who cares why the whore from NY does something, as long as it works.

Spitzer Involved in Prostitution Ring

Last Update: 8:27 pm

NEW YORK (AP) - The New York Times is reporting that Gov. Eliot Spitzer has told senior advisers that he had been involved in a prostitution ring.

Spitzer is scheduled to make an announcement this afternoon. Spitzer officials wouldn’t immediately comment on the story.

The 48-year-old Spitzer is married and has three daughters. Details about the prostitution ring were not immediately clear.

But last week, federal prosecutors in Manhattan filed conspiracy charges against four people accusing them of running a prostitution ring that charged wealthy clients in Europe and the U.S. thousands of dollars for prostitutes.

The Web site of the Emperors Club VIP displays photographs of the prostitutes’ bodies, with their faces hidden, along with hourly rates depending on whether the prostitutes were rated with one diamond, the lowest ranking, or seven diamonds, the highest.

Prosecutors say the most highly ranked prostitutes cost…

The Real Barack Obama

Michelle Obama’s comment that, for the first time in her adult life, she feels proud of America helps crystallize who Barack Obama is.

To be sure, the wife of a candidate is perfectly free to have views that are distinct from her husband’s. But on a matter that is so fundamental to one’s being as love of country, it is difficult to imagine that Michelle Obama would publicly twice make such a statement suggesting disdain for America unless she felt it comported with her husband’s views.

Equally important, her statement aligns perfectly with the hate-America views of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama’s minister, friend, and sounding board for more than two decades. On the Sunday following 9/11, Wright characterized the terrorist attacks as a consequence of violent American policies. Four years later, Wright…

Hat tip: Herb, which sends along

Yes it is Bill. And to add insult to injury I took a little walk down by the River this morning. ( I followed you over the Walnut Street bridge ). On my walk I saw numerous ” Tags” along the newly added River walkways. On the Trees for God sakes. Obviously nothing is sacred. Up to and including a sign about picking up after your dog pulled from the ground and placed about 40 feet up in a tree along the pathway. Its amazing that these people have so much energy and agility but don’t seem to be able to get-a-job or graduate school. And just think , its us that will end

Elmira Man Arrested for Heritage Park Stabbing: “The suspect says he’s not guilty.”

And you know what? I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, until his trial is over. Then can we punish him if he is found guilty, you know, biblically?

THE NEW YORK TIMES SAYS RETURNING TROOPS ARE MURDERERS, but…: ”

THE NEW YORK TIMES SAYS RETURNING TROOPS ARE MURDERERS, but Marc Danziger checks the math.

Bruce Kesler has more. ‘The few stories the NYT’€™s presents, however colored for effect, are tragedies. But the greater tragedy is that we have to suffer the NYT’s agenda of defamation of another generation of veterans.’

Elmira man charged with animal cruelty

An Elmira man faces a felony charge of animal cruelty.

Ok, so a guy shoot sanother guy, and gets a slap on the  wrist, I mean, it was his first time trying to execute someone else, gotta give him some latitude, but stick a cat a few time s(Ok, 7 times) with a shiv, and you are going to jail, and not easy jail, federal pound you in the ass jail.

I kinda get it, the guys shooting each other are ow life pieces of filth, and cats, other than the occasional clawing, never really hurt anyone.  I guess m y idea of arming kids with BB guns to take care of the feral cat problem is officially dead now…

ACCORDING TO THE CLUB FOR GROWTH, stocks go up when Congress is out of session. Makes sense to me! The obvious policy lesson is that we should have them meet for no more than 60 days a year, and we can all get rich!

“MR. CLEAN:” “It’s difficult to believe the levels of incompetence coming out of New York Governor Eliot Spitzer’s office in his first year and to cap things off we now learn the computers in his office have been scrubbed free of possibly incriminating email files surrounding the dirty tricks campaign against State Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno. Can you imagine the howls coming from the mostly left-leaning New York media if a Republican did this? Yes, so can I.”

SPITZER cozies up to lobbyists.

You know it’s bad when even the people paid to like you, don’t.   Spitzer universally hated by 92% of NY’ers did fill all the seats at his fundraising dinner he held (At a cost of 25,000 / 50,000 and even 100,000 a plate)  But amazingly, those lobbyists did not want to meet and greet with the govenor, they skipped the flesh pressing, and concentrated on the aides.  I am waiting for the news story describing the cur dog walking across the street to avoid having to be petted by Spitzer.

WHo wants to bet me that he does get re-elected though?  I say he will.  I mean, NY re-elected Pataki for what, 23 terms?
