I'm surprised the Dem from Cape May county voted against it. Isn't there a significant gay population in Cape May?

I noticed this myself, Swish. Five, in total, didn't vote on the matter, including incoming Speaker Sweeney. Cowards! Beach probably didn't vote because Boss George forgot to tell him which way to vote.

For TV - I think you are correct that there is a relatively high gay population in Cape May.

I would welcome Harold Ford Jr. running against Gillibrand.

Ignorance showing here but why is it a big deal if Bloomberg supports Ford? Didn't Bloomberg barely win re-election?

When I made this two years ago I didn't know what it meant or why I made it. I think I do now.

I met Bloomberg today. Was at City Hall for a meeting with a deputy mayor's chief of staff, and this little dude in a green sweater and leather jacket came out, stuck out his hand and said, "Mike Bloomberg." first and presumably last time I've shook hands with a billionaire.

Oh yeah, that one too. I was thinking of the Richard Reid, although I guess it's possible he was over water on his way to Miami when he tried to ignite his adidas, so that makes it non-domestic.

I never really felt that Bush should apologize for it anyway.

Majority Leader Harry Reid, seeking to quell the uproar from a report in a new book that he called Barack Obama a "light-skinned" African-American who lacked a "Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one," is mounting a full-fledged damage control effort to save both his job and his political career.


This actually happened?
