Spitzer, Prostitutes, Strippers & Rockets

Spitzer & Strippers
I refuse to acknowledge the man who was governer of New York as of tommorrow by his title first. Apparently Elliot Spitzer, the man who built his political carrer as a leader who will root out all corruption, LOVES him some prostitutes. There goes one of your super delegates who can vote any way they please Hillary.

Gov.Elliot Spitzer, who was considered an example of moral rectitude in the political world, apologized today after a report discovered him to be linked to a prostitution ring. At a televised news conference, before around 100 reporters, Spitzer did not deny the accusations, but refused to give further details on the matter. "Today, I want to briefly address a private matter," he said. "I have acted in a way that violates my obligations to my family and that violates my, or any, sense of right and wrong. I apologize first and most importantly to my family. I apologize to the public whom I promised better,” Spitzer said. "I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself," he added, referring to his well-known determination in eradicating all types of corruption. He said nothing about his political future and did not answer reporters’ questions about whether he would resign. The New York Times was the first to link Spitzer to the prostitution ring on Friday, one day after four people were arrested, as charged of helping run the ring.The Democrat was caught on a federal wiretap while arranging a meeting between himself and a prostitute in the call-girl business at a Washington Hotel. The governor was not charged, and he said he would retreat to his Upper East Side home, to spend some time trying to regain the trust of his family. The 48-year-old Democrat is married and the father of three teenage girls. Republicans immediately asked for his resignation. "He has to step down. No one will stand with him," said Rep. Peter King, a Republican from Long Island, according to the Associated Press. "I never try to take advantage or gloat over a personal tragedy. However, this is different. This is a guy who is so self-righteous, and so unforgiving." If Spitzer resigns, the one who will take his place is Lt.Gov. David Paterson, who will then become New York’s first black governor. Other politicians who were involved in sex scandals are Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana, Connecticut Gov. John Rowland and Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho. As an attorney general, Spitzer investigated several cases that involved prostitution rings. In 2004, he took part in an investigation of an escort service in New York City, which ended with the arrest of 18 people charged of promoting prostitution.(eFluxMedia 2008)

Poor lady, you can just see it on her face.

You should be honored that your wife is willing to stand bye you when she put her carrer on the back burner to support your carreer as first attorney general and then Governer.

This Entry is all about Obesity and Chuck Norris

The great city of Los Angeles has identified the link between, the obesity rate and the amount of public city parks. Maybe other cities would start to take notice, Houston are you listening?

LA study links child obesity to poverty, lack of parks

LOS ANGELES -- Health officials say affluent communities with public parks have the lowest rates of child obesity. By contrast, the new Los Angeles County Department of Public Health report shows there are more overweight kids in cities with larger numbers of low-income residents, such as Hawthorne, Lawndale, Carson and Gardena.The county's chief medical officer Dr. Jonathon Fielding says the study shows "poverty is one of the determinants of obesity."The county used information on obesity rates from the California Department of Education and compared it with unemployment rates, education levels and households incomes.The report also factored in amounts of park and recreation space.





"Fattening and obesity are caused by an imbalance-a disequilibrium-in the hormonal regulation of adipose tissue and fat metabolism. Fat synthesis and storage exceed the mobilization of fat from the adipose tissue and its subsequent oxidation. We become leaner when the hormonal regulation of the fat tissue reverses this balance". -Gary Taubes-
