My heart goes out to Mayor Berry and challenger Pete Dinelli. The trend is now set by the media for the upcoming election coverage. It won't be about big ideas, future thinking, keeping the parks green, or fighting for the Duke City at the legislature. It will be about fringe groups filing ethics charges against everyone. It will be about yard signs being torn down. It will be about what kind of dogs the candidates have and how they are treated.
That is modern journalism today. There are few reporters and news directors that know the meaning of that word. Well, maybe they do. The just substitute the word 'ratings' for the word journalism. Pretty soon in the print media, if the Koch brothers have their way, it will mean neo conservative world view.
Speaking of which, I watched a documentary on former draft dodger and VP dick cheney. I think it is important that medical science get a hold of his brain to study it so some sort of gene therapy might be devised to prevent such a brain from ever existing again.

Cheney's brain could be aptly put with the collection that holds those of Idi Amin, Hitler, Stalin, and Kim Jog Il to name a few.
What is your take in Sam Bregman? Will he be good for the Democratic party? There is a lot of criticism about Sam not being female friendly and alienating female voters.
What, now only a woman can criticize a woman? That's crazy. Moreover, Sam is the State Party Chair, not a candidate for Governor. You generally want an attack dog in that position.
4/28....nice try. But ironicallly Martinez and her Repubs are the king of hating females. Look at all the bs R leaders have been caught on and Martinez DOES NOTHING.
I am not even slightly suggesting that only females can criticize females. I am stating that Democrats as a party should show that we welcome diversity - women, men, young, old, students, professionals. Sam should encourage female Democrats to come out and vote. I hope he will. As for the rest, I am in agreement that the time to play nice has come and gone.
