When it comes to the subject of marijuana, Barack Obama appears to talk out of both sides of his mouth. As a candidate, Obama intimated that he would respect state laws regarding medicinal marijuana and would not prosecute medicinal marijuana sales and use in states where it is legal. “It’s not a good use of our resources,” he said at the time. When Obama took office, the Justice Department released a memo that seemed to confirm that position. But in the years since Obama’s inauguration, his administration has shifted course. Now, Attorney General Eric Holder is vigorously prosecuting medicinal marijuana growers and sellers. (more)

Many of you may have read or heard the story of Philip Markoff, the “Craigslist Killer” who murdered Julissa Brissman and attacked three other working girls. Lifetime has made a killing (no pun intended) off its movie portrayal of Philip Markoff. Tellingly, the movie barely even mentioned the lives of the girls Markoff brutalized. (more)
Tuesday night was the premiere of the Lifetime movie “The Craigslist Killer.” According to its website and the previews I’ve seen on every station, “The Craigslist Killer follows the dark, mysterious life Philip Markoff conducted online while preparing for a promising future as a doctor and a life of happiness with his fiancée — beginning with his alleged April 14, 2009, first-degree murder of a masseuse who advertised her services on Craigslist.” (more)
Since last Monday’s New York gubernatorial debate, I’ve been disappointed to read that a few reporters said I was using “cheat sheets” during the debate. The New York Post said my remarks were “ghostwritten.” Former Mayor Ed Koch said my lines were written by my campaign advisor, “Roger What’s-his-name.” Sadly, these comments are both sexist and untrue.

News reports suggest that CNN may be planning to hire disgraced former New York governor Eliot Spitzer to replace the departing Campbell Brown. Should CNN now be called the Criminal News Network ?

Peter Elkind’s new book, “Rough Justice,” a chronicle of the fall and supposed resurrection of Eliot Spitzer, is a contorted piece of shit. Elkind joins the growing Upper East Side Liberal chorus that would have us forget Spitzer’s violation of various state and federal laws, his repeated lies about the abuse of power involved in using the state police to spy on his political opponents and his lies regarding the source of the funding of his first two campaigns for attorney general.
