NEW YORK (Reuters) – The sole Republican candidate for New York attorney general says he does not want to be the next “sheriff of Wall Street” and would give up the national prominence the job offers in favor of tackling political corruption in the capital.
Dan Donovan, 53, a career prosecutor in New York City’s borough of Staten Island, told Reuters on Wednesday he was prompted to run after endless corruption scandals in Albany.
Donovan said he is not running to catapult his career by capturing a post made nationally famous when Democrats Eliot Spitzer and Andrew Cuomo used the job to prosecute securities fraud, insider trading and other Wall Street abuses.
Spitzer, who earned the nickname “sheriff of Wall Street,” became governor in 2006 but resigned after 14 months amid a prostitution scandal. Cuomo is now running for New York governor and expected to be elected in November.

Nassau District Attorney Kathleen Rice gave no direct answer in a public radio debate in Manhattan Wednesday when challenged by a Democratic rival to disclose the law she could have used to prosecute former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer for patronizing a prostitute in Washington, D.C.
Rice is the only one of the five Democrats vying for attorney general who says she would have charged Spitzer.

…  Now, Sarah’s no studied satirist like Lewis Carroll, but she really stands out as a self-parody of the mimsy and  slithy right-wing ideology that has taken over the once honorable GOP  in 21st Century America, with all its frumious reactionary negativity.  Not even Lewis Carroll could do a better job of lampooning today’s Republican Party. 
             The GOP’s recent adherence to that ideology, with its blind faith in the “free market” put imto practice by deregulation of industry and finance, has proven once again to be the political and economic equivalent of the Bellman rigidly following the Naval Code as described by Carroll, which resulted in the ship sailing backward with nobody able to control the rudder.  So, while Ms. Palin’s  call for American Muslims to  “refudiate” the planned cultural center amid the saloons and strip clubs surrounding the former WTC site is clearly a long stretch from Shakespeare,  it is a perfectly appropriate  example of the portmanteau nonsense words deployed by Lewis Carroll in his 19th-Century satirical works.

Since late last week, the UK has been convulsed by a press scandal broken, for once, by a U.S. newspaper. The New York Times reported in its magazine last Wednesday that starting in 2005, The News of the World, a British tabloid, hacked into the voicemail accounts of various British worthies, including the princes William and Harry. That disclosure, in itself, was not a scoop; the British public has known about the digital break-ins since shortly after they occurred, as the News and other tabloids went on a bender at the time promoting stolen bits of royal gossip (some of which related to a visit Harry had taken to a strip club, prompting a rival rag, The Sun, to publish the inevitable headline, “Harry buried Face in Margo’s Mega-Boobs. Stripper Jiggled … Prince Giggled”). In fact, it’s been a good three years already since two News of the World employees, royal editor Clive Goodman and Glenn Mulcaire, an investigator, were jailed after pleading guilty in the affair.

Goodell later suspended Stallworth for an entire season. Stallworth’s suspension was a hotly debated topic. Some thought it wasn’t enough, others thought it was too much. Regardless of where people stood in the debate, Goodell did not arrive at the decision without hearing what plenty of people had to say.
One of Goodell’s first orders of business as commissioner was to deal with player conduct. His test case was Adam “Pacman” Jones, a recalcitrant player who was in the middle of an incident in a Las Vegas strip club that left one man paralyzed after being shot during NBA All-Star weekend.
That incident, complete with Jones “making it rain” with cash at a strip club, encapsulated the essence of athletes gone wild. The image was damaging throughout the NFL, particularly to the majority of players who felt they were living respectable lives.

NEW YORK (AP) — The woman whose groom was killed by police in a barrage of 50 bullets on his wedding day is running for City Council, saying it’s her turn to stand up for the community that supported her.
The fiancee of Sean Bell, who was unarmed when he was fatally gunned down four years ago as he left a bachelor party at a topless bar, is planning to run in a special election for the Queens seat this fall.
Nicole Paultre Bell is one of 10 candidates for the Nov. 2 election who filed paperwork with the city Campaign Finance Board for a Tuesday deadline.
Bell, who had her name legally changed after her fiance was killed, announced her campaign in an interview with the Daily News.

London (VBS.TV) — The North West seaside town of Blackpool was once the No.1 holiday destination for working-class British families. In the 1960s it would attract 17 million of them a year, until cheap, all-inclusive holidays to Spain cut their business in half. They called it “The Las Vegas Of The North” because of its bright lights and reputation for bawdy thrills.
These days the town makes most of its money from old people and “stag and hen” nights — drunken pre-nuptial parties with half-naked gangs of drunken lads and lasses falling in and out of strip clubs, sex shops, bars and brothels.

Baptist John Leland takes tolerance even further: “The liberty I contend for is more than toleration. The very idea of toleration is despicable; it supposes that some have a pre-eminence above the rest to grant indulgence, whereas all should be equally free, Jews, Turks, Pagans and Christians.”
Toleration is only the beginning. It is, in essence, a weak word that implies an absolute surety in our own faith and a rather cold disdain for others. What we need is not just tolerance, but respect and understanding.
The best way to promote understanding is to build the New York mosque. Mosques have existed in the neighborhood since the 1970’s, and the building where Rauf is proposing the new community center is already being used as a prayer hall. The “Hallowed Ground” of the neighborhood is also home to a strip club that does not seem to offend anyone’s sensibilities. The proposed building cannot even be seen from Ground Zero; the view is obstructed by a post office.

was a word that had come into fashion meaning exaggerated masculinity,
but it came to be used to refer to any man who was just a man.
The thing is it didn’t end, because it can’t. Machismo/manhood went into exile
in Tony Soprano’s New Jersey. And what masterful troupe acting came from that.
But the only ones allowed then the free and noble play of honor, love, family,
sin, commitment and responsibility were fictitious New Jersey gangsters.
Now it comes out of the Bada Bing! strip club and back into the light. Anyone
with the psychologist’s bent — like that behavioral type at Sterling Cooper Draper
Pryce who looks like Dr. Joyce Brothers — might do a “psychological types”
study on this new phase, because it brings a new paradigm and a vast change of
temperament is at hand.
