Women in the NYS Assembly....at least the Democratic ones....want a ten point women's agenda, How about they start by not paying such fealty to a party that keeps electing office predators in the Lower House ?

Heavy snow, frigid temps bear down on Northeast
I knew it was cold this AM when I took Jet out and there was no poking around looking for 'the spot'. It was all done with alacrity and much appreciated.
This is dangerously cold weather, especially for those isolated, without heat or in other ways vulnerable. Be careful. Stay warm and dress properly.
Sub zero temps are lasting into Saturday and some accumulation of snow will occur.
This is obviously going to be a brisk winter....

Rob Ford files papers for mayoral re-election - Toronto - CBC News
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is running for reelection. The flamboyant and embattled mayor of Canada's largest city has filed necessary paperwork for next October's municipal elections. I believe such elections are non-partisan.
Mayor Ford says he is the best person for the job and that his personal problems were just that, personal, and that the people can decide.
They certainly can. The facts are out there and either you like him or you don't. If he can moderate his behavior and show the traits that first got him elected, he has a shot.
It will certainly make the campaign interesting to a world audience.

Edward Snowden, Whistle-Blower - NYTimes.com
One thing is sure about Edward Snowden. Opinions vary on what he did in leaking vast amounts of government secrets about various surveillance operations by the National Security Agency, the super secretive agency charged with collecting vast amounts of data in the name of identifying risks to the nation's security, particularly post-911.
Today's NYT says Mr. Snowden did a service, albeit without permission and should be cut a break. Others say he should be shot as a traitor.
It's certainly a complicated issue and surely many would feel while he shouldn't have betrayed the trust, it certainly was an eye opener to learn the extent of government snooping and frankly how easy it apparently is to pull this off. One guy, who was a contract employee with little time there.
One thing is for sure, people know what the NSA is, because they likely didn't before.
