[Washington Post] The son of D.C. Council member Marion The Bitch Set Me Up Barry ... the worst administrator, with the possible exception of Boss Tweed, ever elected to public office and then reelected and reelected when he got out of jail... No. That's not true. Boss Tweed wasn't elected to anything... (D Ward-8) was jugged Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! earlier this month in Hampton, Va., and charged with driving under the influence and possession of marijuana, according to police and court records.

Maryland / Virginia show the way on decriminalization. The laws are still on the books, but the penalties are only for the little people...

Only proving once again, the piesang doesn't fall too far from the tree.
[SPECTATOR.ORG] I know. I know. This puts me out of sync with the New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... and even the infallible New York Post, but if I were a citizen of New York and not just a monthly visitor I would be voting for John Catsimatidis, the jolly and jowly rumpled candidate whose name appears on both the Republican and Liberal lines. How he managed this I do not know. Maybe he is a Liberal of the old school, one of those who were not squeamish about being American and still believed in the country and the free-market system. Catsimatidis certainly does. He dropped out of college and became a billionaire. In so doing he benefited New York City with jobs, food, and philanthropy. While the rest of the fantasticoes running for high office in the Big Apple have enriched themselves for the most part from the public trough, Catsimatidis has enriched himself and the city the old-fashioned way through free enterprise and by paying taxes.
The others in the race for mayor are for the most part figures from a cheap novelist's fevered imagination. Foremost among them is Anthony Carlos Danger Weiner ...aka Hot Dog Tony, the remarkably offensive sex maniac six-term New York congressman who resigned in 2011, then decided everybody had forgotten by 2013, when he decided to run for mayor of New York City... , a man who left Congress after he was revealed to be an exhibitionist. He went into some kind of therapy. Declared for mayor. And then exposed himself again and again. He is still running and presumably still in therapy. Then there is Eliot Spitzer, the heir to a vast fortune who had to leave his position as the governor of New York because he was caught paying for high-class hookers from his bank account. He is running for comptroller and is frankly self-destructive. If he wins it will be a close thing whether he destroys himself again before he destroys the business climate of New York. Both Democrats and Republicans fear him and both are right to do so.
On the other hand there is Catsimatidis who every New Yorker would relish as a neighbor and who many New Yorkers actually have for a neighbor. At least they have someone who is a facsimile of Catsimatidis. He is as New York as you get. He dresses like New York, sounds like New York, and started his business in New York, which is now the Red Apple Group of grocery stores that has extended into the fuel business, the aircraft leasing business, and other enterprises, making him rich (132 on the Forbes list of wealthy Americans) and eager to give back in service to his city.

"When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe." - Thomas Jefferson
[NEWYORK.CBSLOCAL] Public Advocate Bill de Blasio is within just a few points of avoiding a runoff from a Democratic challenger for New York City mayor, according to the latest Quinnipiac University poll.
De Blasio is leading the Democratic pack with 36 percent of likely voters, near the 40 percent that would be needed to avoid a runoff. City Council Speaker Christine Quinn trails de Blasio with 21 percent, followed by 20 percent for former Comptroller Bill Thompson.
Former Rep. Anthony Carlos Danger Weiner ...aka Hot Dog Tony, the remarkably offensive sex maniac six-term New York congressman who resigned in 2011, then decided everybody had forgotten by 2013, when he decided to run for mayor of New York City... has the support of 8 percent of likely Democratic primary voters, followed by 6 percent for Comptroller John Liu. Former Councilman Sal Albanese logs just 1 percent. Eight percent remain undecided.
The poll reflects a dramatic jump for de Blasio from one conducted on Aug. 13, in which he had 30 percent, with 24 percent for Quinn and 22 percent for Thompson. Weiner had 10 percent in that poll, and Liu 6.

[Breitbart] Champ just effectively killed the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP). Your old Garand or carbine just picked up another $1000. to $1500. in resale value, that is if you can still sell it.

We need to make sure that people who came here illegally have a path to citizenship, she said, prompting applause from the audience of progressive activists.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
