National Review: . . . and About Those Local New York Politics

The Ground Zero mosque has apparently split the Democratic gubernatorial ticket. Emily Miller of Human Events reports that Bob Duffy, Andrew Cuomo’s running-mate (for lieutenant governor) has come out against the project that Cuomo strongly supports. Duffy, who is mayor of Rochester, said that “the best resolution” to the emotional controversy is to make a “different decision” than building a mosque on the hallowed grounds of the 9/11 terrorist attack.

Rick Lazio’s campaign issued this statement: “Andrew Cuomo’s position is so far out of touch with the people of New York, it appears his running mate Bob Duffy had to pull away from him.”

Lazio has also called on Cuomo, who is currently the state’s attorney general, to investigate the opaque “Cordoba Initiative,” the entity behind the project. Cuomo — who seems to have a pretty low threshold for investigating business enterprises – has scoffed at Lazio’s suggestion, claiming there is no “criminal case” to investigate. Of course, the AG’s jurisdiction is not limited to criminalcases, and his office has jurisdiction to oversee non-profit organizations.

    Found your blog in the Google how to flatten abs directory, very nice job, thanks. My positive reinforcement is based on self expectations. I have goals and expectations like anyone else. These goals or expectations keep me focused, in the sense that if I don’t live up to them, there will be a greater consequence. So, I’ll do my best to keep up, that way I don’t have to suffer whatever the consequence is.

    While I really like it, I think there was an mistake close to the end of the first paragraph.
