Headlines, January 29

Must-read of the day: Governor Spitzer's Op-Ed in the Daily News.

The New York Times: the music industry has found a way to deal with one aspect of illegal music downloads – give it away to college students in connection with advertising. Makes sense, considering their high appeal to advertisers.

Also in the Times, the Prince of Wales comes to New York, plays basketball, and manages at some point to embarrass Bill Weld, a feat thought unmanageable previously.

And while you're on the Times web site, check out this article from the magazine on 'nutritionism', in-depth luxury journalism at its finest.

The Albany Project: Joe Bruno uses campaign funds for vacations. Kind of like Vito Fossella.

The Washington Post: 'Clinton draws mixed reviews in Iowa'.

A new project emanating from MyDD: The Real McCain.

And lastly, Newsday reports on Maureen O'Connell's extremist anti-choice record, points out that the NYS 'Right to Life' folks say they were best buddies for years, and that O'Connell hides the fact that she's a republican.

Spitzer wants fundamental

Spitzer wants fundamental change, he says, but does not, will not (does not even mention) take on the real estate industry. fundamental change in nyc and nys w/o taking on real estate if fundamentally flawed.

FOSSELLA/BRUNO

And Fossella is still sitting in Congress and expect Bruno to do the same. Nothing happens to these thieves but let you or I do something not even close to this but illegal and we'll be hauled into jail.

Only in New York

Mr. Harrison...is an attractive alternative to Mr. Fossella in his own right. Mr. Harrison has a presence in both sides of the district; he resides in Brooklyn, while his mother and sister live on Staten Island.

As chair of Community Board 10 in Brooklyn, he demonstrated leadership as he oversaw one of the city’s largest efforts to contain overdevelopment through rezoning. He has a good command of the issues, and a feel for the concerns of the district. Mr. Harrison surprised many with his passion and keen intelligence in a series of debates with Mr. Fossella. The distinctions could not be clearer. We endorse Mr. Harrison for Congress.
