“We believe … a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence,” David said. “We also find that allowing resistance unnecessarily escalates the level of violence and therefore the risk of injuries to all parties involved without preventing the arrest.” [...] 
Among New York State’s wealthiest donors to the Republican Party and right-wing programs, Paul Singer, a hedge fund manager and financiers Steven Cohen and Clifford Asness have been donating to a coalition of groups working for Marriage Equality in New York State. [See quote at the top of this page.] Even Michael Bloomberg has gotten in on the fun sending the Human Rights Campaign $5000 last year to help move the cause.

The Journal News reports that a disarmed drone missile on its way to a museum in West Virginia was stopped in Ossining by local police, no doubt out of jealousy. But the article also says it was picked up in Putnam Valley! If anyone knows what this is about, how a missile got to Putnam Valley and who had it please let me know.

The law says that a cop can pull you over if he sees you holding the phone in your hand. You don’t have to be texting: You could be holding it up to see who called. You could be taking it off the visor. You could be checking the time because, if your car is like mine when the radio is on the time is not. In other words, like so many other laws on the books passed because of political expediency, you’re guilty, Guilty GUILTY regardless of whether you’ve actually committed a crime or not.

Imagine the joy on the face of the Putnam County Legislature when their sales tax receipts have increased? Isn’t that worth something? [...]

[...] “In politics you need to step back and re-evaluate your position to serve your constituents effectively. I have the years of experience and know County Government inside out, but I also have the benefit of a respite and as a self employed businessman I know the struggle and pressure families in Putnam are feeling in order to make ends meet.” [...]
In a speech to the Ripon Society, Congresswoman Nan Hayworth said that the British system of national health care will not work here, “because the British are actually willing to sit patiently in line.” Her implication, I assume, means that we should pay whatever it takes to continue giving Americans instant gratification and that seems to be the basis for the Republican party’s take on all things American.
