Doggone It

Lots of public figures getting into trouble these days with ex-New York governor, Eliot Spitzer being the most famous. The revelation of an illegal tryst led to his resigning from office, and thrust Lieutenant Governor Paterson into the limelight. Already grabbing center stage as the first blind black governor, Paterson went for full disclosure on inauguration day and confessed to adultery - both his and his wife's!

You'd think the swinging politicians would likely come from California, but if the "threesome" story announced last week of ex-New Jersey Governor McGreevy is true, the action is on the East coast. I wonder if these people are all seeing the same marriage counselor?

In an odd story, a California public librarian was fired for ratting out a man who used the library computer to browse child porn sites. The woman was concerned the man was a threat to the children who frequented the library (they still exist?), and called the police to have him arrested. Her boss fired her for violating the patron's right to free speech.

I just want you to know I didn't make up the story of a former prostitution ring prosecutor paying $4,000 to a hooker. I also didn't make up the story of a lieutenant governor admitting to extra-marital escapades on the day he took over for the guy who got booted for chasing illegal booty. I wish I had thought up the story of the governor who went from straight to gay, but in-between tried to figure out what he was by having his chauffeur poon both him and his wife. I'd like not to believe a child porn addict has the right to sit next to my grandson in a public library looking at pencil dicks online, but it's true as well.

Finally, today in Bridgeport, CT a policeman was fired for stealing hot dogs from a vendor. Yikes, another public servant gone bad! If stealing weren't enough, he also tried to intimidate the witness who turned him in. I've got to make a trip down to Snappy Dogs in Bridgeport. Those must be some really good dogs.
