Tehran and Iran plan to drop a Book and "Mix CD" on Hostage Fiasco

From CNN we find out the true intentions of the standoff with the soldiers from Britain. Publishing fees and CD promotions. Now Bush as more reasons to attack. Not only are they trying to make nukes they are producing books and video that are bad quality. What more do we need to attack? We had a whole lot less for Iraq.

This article should explain:

Iran plans to release a book and CD detailing the arrest and detention of 15 British sailors and marines whom Tehran blames for illegally crossing into Iranian waters, an Iranian military spokesman said.

The book and compact disc are "being prepared and will soon be distributed," Gen. Ali-Reza Afshar said in a written statement.

The British personnel were seized on March 23 while patrolling the northern Persian Gulf for smugglers. They were granted amnesty last Thursday by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who said they were freed as an Easter gift and in respect for the recent anniversary of the Prophet Muhammed's birth.

While in custody, some of the captives confessed on video to straying into Iranian territorial waters. They recanted those confessions once they returned to Britain on Thursday.

In an interview published Monday, the only woman among the detained crew told Britain's Sun tabloid that she feared she was being measured for a coffin while in detention, according to Reuters. (Full story)

40th City Council Endorsement: The Voters and The Weatherman

With so many candidates in the race it makes it difficult to choose one.I am partial to some and thought about going the "Citizen Union" route but I have a better idea. I am proud to announce I have endorsed the voters of the 40th Council District and the Weatherman.

With a special election turnout will be low. This is disappointing with so much on the line in regards who wins this seat. The winner will be responsible for getting money from the City Council's huge budget(millions of pork) in this area. With 4 days to go not many people still do not know there is an election.

10 candidates fighting for 3000 votes is not how the future of the district should be decided. I hope with each candidates GOTV strategy as well as other venues to alert the voters yields higher turnout. We can not complain or blame the system if we do not participate in the system.

As for the Weatherman endorsement this was a tough one. I was leaning toward Mother Nature but its easier to blame the weatherman. As it stands its looks like at mid 30's day with no precipitation. This help with turnout. If we had anything like the last two days the winner may have had 74 votes total.

So lets make a s

Progressive Districts

Only in New York

With all the people AG Spitzer screwed in the business community - entire industries - can't you imagine a groundswell of folks out there eager to see him pay for his crimes?
