In a huge article detailing the corruption and abuse of political power at the heart of the scandal that threatens to bring down the Governor of New York, something is missing. It is not a mistake. It is a damning truth that can only be missing in an article of this length if this fact was omitted deliberately with knowing intent.
Take a look at the article for yourself.
See: Questions of Influence in Abuse Case of Paterson Aide
Have you spotted it yet?
The body of the article, that is everything from the first word after the byline to the last word at the bottom consists of about 2,031 words.
What is missing?
Hint: What is the Governor's Political Party?
Out of 2,031 words about a horrific scandal that threatens to knock a sitting Governor out office, Democrat is not used in the article even once.
Clearly, the truth of Gov. David A. Paterson's Democrat Party affiliation is a fact so damning, that it needed to be left out.
In fact, the only Political Party mentioned in the whole of the 2,031 words used in the NYT article about a present day political scandal involving corruption and violence is . . . Republican.
Go Figure.

It is an unfortunate fact of life that there are people out there in the wilds of the Internet that think it cute to post racist and Nazi garbage on other peoples websites. Some of these thugs are even enabled by people who should know better. In my opinion, both the thugs and their enablers are worse than spammers.
I have recently made enemies with a particular group of these people who have done just that on another website. I don't intend to make it easy for them to do that to me.
In light of that, comment moderation will be used here on this humble and very obscure little blog.
I will check in several times each day to approve appropriate comments.
For the most part, I will allow just about any type of comment except for spam and Kilgorian excrement.
