...good thing, too, because toward the end of the day, a real-life election worker took the witness stand. Nassau County election supervisor Shirley King sat down to defend her decision to certify the initial machine vote versus the mandated hand recount. Dignified and soft-spoken, King gritted her teeth toward the end of her testimony, telling a Democratic lawyer: "I sent the first numbers because the second numbers were wrong. I'd be very happy to recount the ballots - and I've offered to do so - just to prove the first numbers were right anyway...

...this September was a promising start to shaping a policy for the federal government that is thoughtful, comprehensive and holistic in its support of our nation's young people. The bill, which is widely supported by youth development groups, social service providers and community-based organizations would add some teeth to Congressional rhetoric about valuing future generations. In fact, it would appropriate $5.75 billion dollars over the next five years to the development and execution of more effective programs in the areas of substance abuse, depression, teen apathy, eating disorders, youth violence and a whole host of other concerns that...
