A little off track, but I can't help it...

''I wasn't looking to move out West,'' said Matthews, 49. But she wanted a job that would put her policy experience to practical use. ''I didn't see any other opportunities in New York state.''

Bush blamed; women, gays, minorities 100% of victims. Racism, sexism, homophobia and white evil suspected.

Coming soon to your state - NY attitude, NY liberal RAT politics, NY problems. California used to elect Republican governors, then the population doubled (mainly by migration) and we got the Gay Bay as a result. BOHICA!

(At the prevailing wage, of course.)
