David Patterson fell and it was at a record setting pace. If when he was sworn in he had focused less on stand up comedy and also on implying he was going to be on higher moral ground than Spitzer than it might not have been such a fall. Patterson is on higher moral ground than Spitzer but the letter in The New York Post sums it with irony and humor. It does feel like the fall of Rome or we are watching the makings of another HBO special series and there are far more steamy scandals that we do not know about until we see it remade on HBO or our great grand kids will be watching the behind scenes "things" we never knew about. Anyway, yes the new governor will be left in place and the State and City of New York are in bad shape despite way back when the mayor at some point saying the city budget was more than okay and remember city council voted themselves a raise...???? Hello?
The city is heading for dire straits and it is wrong to be making budget cuts especially to school programs. In fact I wish we could get more organized help to get more kids off the streets after school and with some in depth one on one mentoring where volunteers sit with them and go over home work. These kids need one on one individual attention and if it means corporations open up their conference rooms after school and sit with these kids going over home work -- something to get the support they need. Cuts are the last thing NYC needs. It is sad to see the work fare program cut from the Parks dept if that happens. Does the city have to be bailed out like Bear Stearns? How many more tragedies that look like terrorist attacks but are infrastructure or construction related can the city take and handle with budget cuts? The NYPD has under 40,000 police policing 8 million plus people and their starting salary is not a recruitment tool but the opposite. I am one of many that still wants our firehouses closed REOPENED! We don't want hospitals closed with the population only increasing and the calamities too.
I am very upset about many things but this letter in the NYPost made me laugh.
Women porn stars are carving out new grounds in terms of becoming entrepreneurs and in Jenna Jameson's case a media mogul.
I do believe the women in the porn business have suffered child abuse and are further exploited in the industry until some break through to this new level of power where they become multi-faceted business women.
The letter made me laugh and it is rife with irony because a porn star like Ron Jeremy would at least have been honest and it feels to me David Patterson was not. He was not prepared to be thrust in to the limelight and the scrutiny that comes with it.
