I have some concern right now (in addition to the Victims of Sat’s shooting) for Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ).

Bill Clinton: I could see this level of anger rising
Bill Clinton, currently at a Refugee Camp in Haiti, gave his thoughts on the Tucson shooting to BBC’s Matthew Price, making the same Oklahoma City bombing comparison that so many others have made. On the 15th Anniversary of the Oklahoma City incident, in April, I wrote an essay in which I said I could see this level of anger rising as it did once before when I was elected, and that no one intends to do anything that encourages this sort of behaviour - and I think it's wrong for anyone to...

Payday with a new boss
ALBANY -- Larry Schwartz takes home more state money than Gov. Andrew Cuomo does. In fact, the former secretary to Gov. David Paterson -- now a "senior adviser" tasked with reforming the Budget process -- makes more than everyone else in the administration's inner circle. That's because Cuomo's order to reduce the new pay for incoming staff members by 5 percent did not apply to Schwartz or other holdovers from the Paterson administration. That means Schwartz retains his $178,000 Salary from his ...
