Bloomberg Has Strong Democratic Support (Aug 31 2005 12:58 GMT) - New York City Democrats "are largely unimpressed with their field of mayoral candidates in the coming primary election, and nearly half of them believe that the Republican mayor, Michael R. Bloomberg, deserves re-election," according to the latest New York Times poll. In fact, if Bloomberg were running in the September 13 Democratic primary, half of all Democrats would vote for him -- nearly double the support of Fernando Ferrer (D). |

Waterworld (Aug 31 2005 12:58 GMT) - I stayed out of the Katrina fray since the devastation received wall-to-wall coverage that left my stomach in knots. Diane & family are OK, Kate's keeping everyone as up-to-date as possible & Matt is compiling the rest of the information we need to know in a constantly updated post aptly called "Atlantis".Conditions are horrendous through-out the Gulf Coast, neighboring areas have been hit with extensive flooding, the infrastructure of New Orleans has pretty much collapsed and the water is rising.In addition to everything else these people have lost, they now face a lack of food, little if any sources for safe drinking water and water borne illnesses that can be deadly if left untreated. The hospitals are swamped - those that can operate are doing so under the harshest of conditions; |

NYCLU Releases RNC Protest Report (Aug 31 2005 12:56 GMT) - The NY Civil Liberties Union released their report of problems during the Republican National Convention yesterday and you can read it in its 65-page PDF glory here. The NYCLU has many recommendations, from starting an independent agency to oversee the planning and management of protests to not detaining arrestees (of minor offenses) for long periods of time. Basically, treat protests and demonstrations more like street fairs and outdoor concerts, because protesting the government is akin to jamming during a Dave Matthews concert! It's definitely an important document because it outlines the issues of the convention, but it will be a cold day in hell when the NYPD actually takes it seriously: Police Commissioner Ray Kelly pooh-poohed the report, saying the NYPD was "a model of expert planning, professionalism and restraint" and the report is "a collection of old, untrue assertions and uncorroborated, self-serving statements by individuals who were arrested in the course of the convention. |
