Come On Yossele (Joe)

Sen. Lieberman bemoans the fact that if it were the other way around, the Democrats would be bemoaning the fact that Sen. McCain was too friendly with a terrorist. Aen. Lieberman, how about the Republican values theme? Can you imagine if a Clinton or another prominent Democrat was pregnant out-of-wedlock? What the Republicans would be carrying on. Sen. Lieberman, please do all of us a favor and leave the Democratic Party. Go and become a Republican with your new Republican friends. You probably deserve each other.

Circumventing The Law

Who said that Mayor Bloomberg isn't a politician? He is the best. With all his money, he is one heck of ashrewd politico. In 1993 and 1996 people voted for term limits. Why is he afraid to give people the right to modify the law? Is he afraid that the term limit law would be upheld in such a referendum? Shame on Ron Lauder. He was such a proponent for term limits and now says that in the case of Mayor Bloomberg, it's all right. We are starting a very dangerous precedent by allowing this mayor to run again in defiance of the term limit law. Let's also realize that another 4 years of Mayor Bloomberg means another 4 years of Joel Klein. We can't afford that. The only way to avoid this would be for either Mr. Bloomberg not to run or lose or Sen. Obama win the presidency. If Obama wins, he might have a position for Klein in the Justice Department. Another reason we can pray for an Obama victory.

Shaping Our Priorities

While students scramble for seats in the New York City school system and 1,400 teachers were unfairly excessed, all Chancellor Klein can talk about is that teachers shouldn't wear campaign buttons. Just as bad, Ms. Weingarten is able to answer him quickly on this matter, but the other 2 more pressing matters still goes ignored. This is wrong. Is it any wonder that our schools are in the condition they're in?
