First Big Snowstorm Of 2010 Hits QueensQueens NY / February 10, 2010. The first big snowstorm of 2010 arrived in Queens this morning. By the time of the early morning commute there was only an inch or two on the ground, so it was more a nuisance than a mess. But by the afternoon commute over four inches had accumulated and appeared to be destined to slow everything down. But the kids weren't complaining since they were let out of school. We found them sledding and some mischief makers were found making snowballs. Click here to read the rest of our report on the great Queens snowstorm of 2010. |

Supreme Court Re-writes ConstitutionGives Legal Entities Rights To Meddle In Electoral ProcessQueens / January 21, 2010. This is an opinion piece about the Supreme Court campaign finance ruling in favor of giving legal entities the right to spend unlimited sums of money in support of political candidates. Our opinion is that legal entities should not be allowed to spend any resource whatsoever in support of a political candidate. If the people governing a legal entity [regardless of whether it is a corporation or a labor union] want to donate money or resource to a candidate, let them do so as individuals. But disallow them from reaching into the pockets of their shareholders, employees or membership to further their own special interests. Let these people [shareholders, employees and members] speak for themselves. We compare this ruling to what happens in the book 'Animal Farm' written by author George Orwell in the middle of the 20th century, whereby some of the pigs in the book are made more equal than others. Our argument is that these people already have too much power vis a vis everyone else, and their unchecked influence will be harmful to the republic. We welcome readers to share their opinions at the end of the piece. Click here to read our opinion on the Supreme Court Campaign Finance Ruling. |
