Lorraine Brown’s company, DocX, forged over 1,000,000 mortgage documents. The maximum federal time she faces is five years. That works out to a little over 2.6 minutes in prison per document.
I don’t think it’s nearly enough.
‘A plurality of New Jersey Republicans think media bias is the most important issue facing their party today according to a poll released today.’
Unlike Paul Ryan, who explained Obama’s victory, saying, “He got more votes.”

Following newspaper investigations into failures at NY City’s Housing Authority (repairs weren’t getting done, and the Board members were getting generous perks), Mayor Bloomberg said he’d remove two of the Board members:

So did he follow through? Nope. He kept everyone and added two MORE people to the Board. Here’s a current screen cap of the NYCHA website:

“I know it’s really going to upset a lot of gay men—I’m sure hundreds of them are going to be jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge—but I ain’t available; I ain’t gay. Sorry.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) showed no sympathy for Mitt Romney on Sunday, blasting the 2012 GOP presidential candidate’s comment that President Barack Obama’s “gifts” to certain groups sealed his fate.
“We’re in a big hole,” said Graham in an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “We’re not getting out of it by comments like that. When you’re in a hole, stop digging. He keeps digging.”
You may have figured out that we’re not big Graham fans her at BiteMe Central, but even the senior senator from South Carolina can figure out which way the wind blows.

According to DNAinfo.com, the NYC Department of Buildings has slapped violations on homeowners of condemned homes in Breezy Point that were destroyed during Hurricane Sandy. One violation cited “failure to maintain” the building, and the ticket’s wording threatened “criminal prosecution” if the problem was not “immediately corrected.”
Which brings us to Mayor Bloomberg. Here’s our rating of his Sandy performance:
The Good: Bloomberg endorsed Obama because hizzoner saw that the President is better than Romney on global warming; and Bloomberg kept New Yorkers well informed about evacuation, transit, electric, emergency shelters, etc.
The Bad: He didn’t act quickly to get food and medicine to residents of the most hard-hit areas of the city. He declined to ask for National Guard help to prevent looting.
The Ugly: The mayor wants to rebuild the homes and businesses in the flooded neighborhoods. That’s a terrible idea — those places are just going to get flooded again and we’re going to have to pay to rebuild them time and time again.
Former NJ Governor, Republican Tom Kean, says the GOP has lost its way and is beholden to the wealthy. Kean thinks the party will keep losing elections until it recaptures the populist centrism of Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt, the two most successful Republican presidents in history. “You’re not going to put together a majority unless you change the party,” he says.

Dr. Scott DesJarlais asked his wife and mistress to get abortions (two for the wife); slept with coworkers and patients (he was prescribing Darvocet to one of them), and attempted suicide.
I may think he’s a dog, but the Republican leadership (bless their scurvy hearts) is sticking by him.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has been charging admission for years and it turns out they weren’t supposed to. Now someone has brought a class action suit to try to get the money back — for people who were wrongly charged at the door and for Met members who joined to save the admission fee that they shouldn’t have had to pay in the first place.
A personal note: The Bitemaster and Prof. Hound of Hell went to the Met a couple months ago. When we tried to go in without paying, we were turned back by an usher who directed us to the admission booth. There we were told we could go in free, but only after 5:00 pm (the galleries are cleared at 5:15 pm on Tuesdays through Thursdays).
And the Met website still says:
The Museum participates in several programs that include free admission for students. All New York City public school students, along with students from Bard Graduate Center, Barnard College, Columbia University, and the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University, may visit the Museum for free. Please check with your school administrator to see if your student ID allows free admission to the Museum.
If admission really is free, as Met spokesman Harold Holzer claims in the Post article, why would students need a student ID or special arrangements to get in free?
The day after the election, right-wingnut Ann Coulter lamented Romney’s presidential loss when she called into Laura Ingraham’s show. “I’m pretty pessimistic about the country,” Coulter said. She went on to say that Romney had run a “magnificent campaign . . . People are suffering. The country is in disarray. If Mitt Romney cannot win in this economy, then the tipping point has been reached. We have more takers than makers and it’s over. There is no hope,” later adding, “Mitt Romney was the president we needed right now, and I think it is so sad that we are going to be deprived of his brain power, of his skills in turning companies around, turning the Olympics around, his idea and his kindness for being able to push very conservative ideas on a country that no longer is interested in conservative ideas. It is interested in handouts.”
