mommy is teaching me about my body parts. right now, i am very fond of my toes. she is teaching me about my body parts so that in the event i am governor of a state (or otherwise entrusted by the public to provide leadership) i will know, for instance, where my pee-pee is AT ALL TIMES.
later my mommy is going to teach me about having priorities and a sense of responsibility. she is also going to teach me about humility and integrity. i’ll know all about these things so that, again, if i am in one of those leadership positions, i will know what decision to make when i am tempted to call an escort service and, perhaps, lose track of my aforementioned pee-pee.
shame, shame, shame.
and sad, sad, sad for his family and — in many ways — more importantly, for state of new york.

This is a refreshingly thoughtful blog and I hope it catches on with Poughkeepsie residents. We need alternatives to the Poughkeepsie Journal which ignores or distorts what does not fit its narrow picture of the world For example, why did it ignore the financial tangles of mayoral candidate Knapp and his wife’s electioneering role?

wow! what a tremendous compliment, but are you sure you meant to leave it on THIS blog?
we do try to pay attention to local affairs, but we are not watchdogs. maybe, though, we should be.
and, yes, the poor poughkeepsie journal … it is very, very, very much like a small-town high school paper. i blame a lot of it on the fact that it is simply one more small publication in the larger gannett empire, but i do believe they could be a lot less lax and a lot more hard-hitting and investigative in their local reporting.
