GOVERNMENT IN THE SUNSHINE... NOT

Submitted by ub on

Not even close to government in the sunshine. It was more like moonlight madness in Albany this week, where lawmakers are asking The Governor and members of The NY Legislature to lay off those all-nighters.

It turns out that on Wednesday night into the wee hours of Thursday, the lawmakers passed pension reductions, redistricting and casino gambling... All of this was worked out while most of us slept.

Have you ever experienced sleep deprivation? It's used to confuse people to get them to do make decisions under duress. When it’s 5a all you want to get home and go to sleep.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today urged the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) to reconsider its decision to launch a so-called “application satellite” next month and fully comply with relevant Security Council resolutions.

The DPRK reportedly announced today that it plans to carry out the launch in April to mark the 100th birthday of its late leader, Kim Il-sung.

“The Secretary-General urges the DPRK to reconsider its decision in line with its recent undertaking to refrain from long-range missile launches,” said a statement issued his spokesperson.

ASSORTED FAVORITE LOCATIONS

Orchard Beach
The Bronx's only beach is an engineering marvel. Covering a mile and 115 acres, it was originally conceived as the "Riviera of New York," and its promise is carried out in its promenade lined with shops, playgrounds, picnic areas, and more than two dozen sports courts. On hot days this beach draws tens of thousands of families, swimmers, athletes, and loungers. On cooler days, its shores make a perfect setting for peaceful strolls, and its basketball and volleyball courts and its playgrounds continue to welcome all of its neighbors. http://www.nycgovparks.org
