Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Governor David Paterson: ‘I Rest Assured I Did My Best’

Governor David Paterson: ‘I Rest Assured I Did My Best’Will Not Seek Election Bid By Eileen Casey
Albany – Democrat Governor David Paterson announced today that he will not seek election following his current term. Paterson assumed office from Eliot Spitzer in March 2008, following Spitzer’s resignation after a prostitution scandal.
Paterson’s administration and the governor himself has recently been plagued with controversy regarding a domestic abuse claim against one of his top aides.
The state’s first black governor and the second legally blind governor in the nation’s history, he acknowledged his own extramarital affairs and past drug use shortly after assuming office.
Paterson held a press conference today announcing his decision not to seek election after his current term expires. The surprising announcement dispelled Paterson’s previous declaration, made on February 9, that “The only way I’m not going to be governor next year is at the ballot box, and the only way that I’ll be leaving before is in a box.”

Manhattan Adult Entertainment: In NY, Paterson’s political support evaporates over latest scandal

In NY, Paterson’s political support evaporates over latest scandal by Joe Sudbay (DC) on 2/26/2010 08:23:00 AM What a mess in New York. And, I don’t mean the snow storm currently hitting the state. The last governor quit over a scandal involving a prostitute. The current governor is embroiled in a scandal over domestic violence and its cover up. Since this story broke on Wednesday night, the calls for Paterson to end his gubernatorial campaign are coming from those closest to him:A range of political allies and even some close friends urged Mr. Paterson privately and publicly to end his bid for election. They said his political standing had been irreparably damaged by revelations on Thursday that the State Police had contacted the woman pressing a domestic violence complaint against a close aide, and by the allegation that the governor had spoken with her a day before she was due back in court.While no prominent Democrat called for Mr. Paterson to resign, several said it wo …

Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Directors in focus: Darren Aronofsky

Pi also marked the beginning of the friendship between Aronofsky and British composer Clint Mansell. Aronofsky, impressed with Mansell’s work, hired him again to score the 2000 drug-addled feature Requiem for a Dream, chronicling the downward spiral of heroin abuse and prescription drugs. Mansell’s title score, “Lux Arterna”, is a piece of film music you’ve probably heard; it’s been used for countless trailers since its original use, most famously for The Lord of the Rings (which annoyingly often results in people attributing the music to the overrated fantasy trilogy…).
Requiem for a Dream is in many ways the natural evolution of a unique director; it’s broader in scope, more exciting and more refined. Like Pi, Requiem ends with some form of mutilation/abuse involving the protagonist. However, the former seems tame compared to the cripplingly depressing ending to Requiem, in which all the main characters are left in situations each more upsetting than the last; amputation, prostitution and old-age madness to name but a few.

Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Pack your dirty tricks & get the hell out

Despite Paterson’s plea for time, there are signs he is getting ready to go. He might even have a political death wish.
His decision to ask Attorney General Andrew Cuomo to investigate amounts to giving your enemy a knife, a rope and a gun.
Even more bizarre is that Paterson, except for the hookers, is repeating the pattern that brought Eliot Spitzer down.
No self-respecting novelist would dare concoct the similarities.
Spitzer also enlisted the State Police to play a political role, having it spy on a rival.
It was a dirty trick that ruined the careers of his crew when Cuomo, also asked by Spitzer to investigate, uncovered the plot.
Spitzer’s spiral ended only when he was identified as Client 9 in a prostitution scandal. It was almost two years ago when that story broke–also in the Times.
