- The Democratic and Republican candidates just finished having another round of debates. From what I have heard and noticed, Clinton did well and Obama was not that impressive. Also, Edwards really separated himself from the two of them. On the Republican side, people liked McCain's firmness and straight talk, but don't like his views on immigration. Also, Romney was very impressive, and Giuliani was pretty good as well.
- On Monday, State Senator Lou DeLuca, pleaded guilty for misdemeanor threatening cause, which had James Galante involved in it. You can read the article here from the News-Times.
- Yesterday, former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, Scooter Libby, pleaded guilty for lying about a CIA leak investigation, and is facing two and a half years behind bars. He is currently trying to delay going to prison. Will the President pardon him?
- Last night, the Common Council passed the parade ordinance by a 11-8 vote. All six Democrats voted against it, along with Republicans Jane Diggs (7th Ward) and Mary Saracino (At-Large). Here is the article from the News-Times.
- The State Legislative Session ends tonight at midnight. As of right now, no budget has been put in place. According to Speaker Amann (yes--that is him on his motorcycle) there will be a special session. Why can't they do what they have to do in the time that they are given?
That about wraps it up. It sure has been a crazy political week!

They do their job with legislation. They, however, are only half of the the solution to the budget so half of the blame falls on the governor.
The Democrats are the ones that run the show and they get most of the blame.
