Not the way I heard it. The Illuminati had to sacrifice him and a number of
other humans to gain energy for the procedure they're planning for Aug.
11-13 to open the Earth's 3rd eye. The method used was the Rapture, which
took place that night and took a large number of bodies, the vast majority
of whom were not celebrities. That'd mean that the body found today is an
impostor.

The Republican party in NYS has been calling Mrs. Clinton a 'carpetbagger'
because she does not live in NYS and so should not run for Senate from here.
Buckley too, I presume... Anyway, I'm sure Rudy has about as much knowledge of
the state of New York as Mrs. Clinton does. It's a non-issue basically because
anyone living north of the Bronx can easily consider Rudy to be a carpetbagger
himself since he's probably never been there either.
There will be issues as the campaign season develops and residency is not one of
them. Unless you want to make residency the price for employment for NYC cops!
For what it's worth, Buckley lived in CT but worked in NY for years
before his election.
> Anyway, I'm sure Rudy has about as much knowledge of the state of

That's silly. The mayor knows NYC well, obviously. Even if Giuliani
doesn't know a *single thing* about upstate NY (something I find
dubious, as even the most diehard NYCers--like me--know places like
Niagara Falls, etc.), isn't that a considerable advantage to someone
who has *never* lived in NYC, let alone the state, like Mrs. Clinton?

A non sequitur. The question of whether NYC cops should be NYC
residents is irrelevant to the discussion of whether it's proper--not
legal, but proper--for Mrs. Clinton to run for the Senate in NY.

Well, as someone who grew up in upstate New York, I have to
say that it's a huge uphill climb for somebody from "The City"
to convince the rest of the state they know or care about anything
outside the NYC area. In NYC, "upstate" seems to refer to anything
north of Yankee Stadium. And I say this as somebody who has a lot
of fondness for NYC, heck I have family there.
At the end of "Tootsie", we see a New Yorker's vision of what
it means to play in upstate theater: opening in Syracuse means
you are in the "Theater in a Barn".
Ed Koch was the last NYC resident I saw make a run for governor
before I left. In Syracuse, based on some misstatement he made
in an interview, the front-page of the Herald Journal featured
his picture with the caption "Hiya, hick!" every day throughout
the campaign. Of course, the editors missed the point that
such a hick-town stunt would just reinforce the stereotype, but
anyway he was slaughtered in the elections.
If anything, an out-of-stater has a better chance upstate
than a city resident does.

JFK JR. was murdered because he was a Democratic asset. It isn't
difficult to arrange an accident if you are a psycho spook. JFK is
certainly not the only one who has had a plane crash because he
furthered the interests of the Democratic Party. There was at least
one other Clinton fundraiser, besides Ron Brown, who had a
mysterious plane crash. The vast right wing conspiracy went too far
on this one:

Koch was never the Democratic nominee for Governor in 1982; he lost to
Mario Cuomo (whom he had defeated in the mayoral primaries in 1977).
Considering Cuomo--who, of course, served as governor for 12 years)
was every much a NYCer as Koch, I suspect the latter's origins were
rather unimportant in the long run.

Yes, I thought of Cuomo as a counter-example, but he was
Lieutenant Governor, which gave him that incumbent head
start thing.

Speak for yourself.
Koch was very much associated with NYC, as a very visible
personality-cult mayor. He was very strongly associated
with that "sneering at the hicks" thing that upstaters love
to hate in downstaters. Cuomo probably held NYC office at
some time, but few upstaters would have known or cared. What
they knew about him was the fact that he was already serving
statewide office. Da Mayor of Da City, walking daily down his
streets waving to the TV cameras, asking "How'm I doin'?"
is going to be perceived very differently from some city
prosecutor or councilman.
As I said, one comment (I think in Playboy) using the
word "hick" was enough to garner Koch angry headlines
for months.

that their opponent is a serial felon with no experience in government

Yaaawwwwwwnnnnn.....
And, I used to mow Al D'Amato's lawn on a town salary along with every other
elected Town of Hempstead official who got their lawn mowed, or driveway plowed
while the common man had to do their own. If it's mud you'd like to sling around
for a while then you're part of the problem with the American political system.
However, if you'd like to talk about gov't expenditures, health care, highways,
noise pollution, money for teachers and education and other issues that MATTER
then we can most certainly play.
Today in NYS the opposition to Mrs. Clinton (who is not yet officially a
candidate) chafe at the bit of the shit trough they have created and have
already brought the campaign into the gutter. I'm not surprised - saddened, but
not surprised.
As an American citizen I reject completely personal attacks on people who run
for office and the mudslingers who are responsible for them.

Her lack of experience at government and her utter contempt for the
law are both perfectly legitimate issue for public debate. The legs
thing was a joke.
If she actually had any positions, we could discuss those, but she
doesn't, so I guess we can discuss her lack of positions.

>> Many cities could be like that if they annexed enough of their

>What do you mean?
Towns in New England have expanded so that in at least some of the N.E.
states, every point in the state is within exactly one town. Like the way
counties tile a state. So some of those states have eliminated all official
functions of counties.
A New England town typically consists of the village which it started as,
plus other villages and rural areas it has incorporated. Other nearby
states are close to (or, for all I know, in) this condition too: few (or no)
parts of the state are not in a township, which is erected around a town.
It's not unusual for cities to expand too. You didn't think New York
City started out with 5 boroughs (each of them an entire county), did you?
Is that why Pittsburg, Maine (or NH) is one of the largest towns in the
country? I always wondered about that....
