Last night we watched the debate between County Executive candidates Barry Grossman (D) and Mike Kerner (R) on the television. I went into these debates without my mind made up. Normally if I don’t know who to vote for I write my own or wife’s name in, but I decided that this election was [...]]]></description>

The media has been mulling over the idea that President Obama might have an enemies list, a la Richard Millhouse Nixon. There are some things similar about the late, great President of Watergate fame, but I think a better fit is with the long deceased Texan, Lyndon Baines Johnson.
