Keith Cozart, (born August 15, 1995) better known by his stage name Chief Keef, is an American rapper from Chicago, Illinois.[2] He has signed a major record deal with Interscope Records, and is the CEO of his own record label Glory Boys Entertainment.[3]
Contents |
Keith Cozart was born in Chicago, Illinois.[2] He attended T.g. Terry Elementary School and later W.H. Adamson High School on the city's South Side.[citation needed]
While under house arrest for a previous weapons charge, Cozart posted several videos to his YouTube account. The attention he received grew in the short time between the release of several mixtapes and several of music videos, including "Bang", "3Hunna" and "I Don't Like".[4] After two locally successful mixtapes, "I Don't Like" became a local hit in Chicago. It also caught fellow Chicago rapper Kanye West's attention, and West organized a remix of the song along with rappers Pusha T, Jadakiss and Big Sean.[5] Finally Rich, Keef's third mixtape, is set to be released sometime in 2012. Featured guests include rappers Waka Flocka Flame, Young Jeezy, Yo Gotti and fellow members of Glory Boyz Entertainment.[6] On July 7, 2012, it was announced that Chief Keef would be performing at the 2012 Lollapalooza music festival.[7]

In December 2011, Cozart was arrested on a weapons charge (aggravated unlawful use of a weapon) and put under house arrest at his grandmother's home.[8] On September 5, 2012, Chicago Police disclosed to the Sun Times that Cozart is being investigated for a possible connection in the shooting death of fellow rapper and Englewood resident, Joseph 'Lil JoJo' Coleman.[9]
In June 2012, Chicago rapper Rhymefest authored a blog post critical of Chief Keef's image and message, describing Cozart as a "bomb" and a "spokesman for the Prison Industrial Complex". The post was also critical of rappers Waka Flocka Flame and Rick Ross, citing similar reasons.[10]
In an August 2012 interview with Baltimore radio station 92Q Jams, Lupe Fiasco stated that Chief Keef "scares" him and went on to describe the other rapper as a "hoodlum" and representative of Chicago's "skyrocketing" murder rate.[11] Keef responded on September 5 with a tweet threatening Lupe Fiasco,[12] but then claimed that his account had been hacked and that the previous tweet was inauthentic.[13] On September 13, 2012, Fiasco released a video interview in which he made amends to Keef. [14]
On September 15, 2012, Cozart uploaded a photograph of himself receiving oral sex to the image sharing application Instagram. As a result, his account was subsequently banned for violating Instagram's terms of service.[15]

This was a great purchase and if it hadn't been for the many valuable reviews I may have missed out. I'm an interior designer and I know how hard it is to buy online, especially a purchase as large as this. So here are a few Q&As that might help you feel confident with your purchase. Q: Does it look cheap? A: Not at all. It definitely has a nice high-end look. In fact, it looks as if it came from C&B or PB. Q: Is this a good quality rug? A: YES! It is very well made. The backing is completely hidden, due to the ample amount of strands. Q: What is the texture like? A: It's a mix of both thin & medium 1.5 inch stands. Soft and very plush. Q: Is the color a true ivory? A: It was a tad bit darker than I expected. To me it's more of a light cream than an ivory, but it works. Q: What is the backing like? A: It's a quality non-skid backing. Q: What are the sides like? A: Each side is wrapped in a matching tightly woven thread and hidden under the overlap of rug strands. Q: Does it hold it's shape? A: Yes. I fluffed it straight out of the package and have walked/sat/laid on it and it still looks pretty good. Q: Does it clean easily? A: Too new to tell, but if you maintain it properly each week, it should last you a very long time. I hope these Q&As have helped. I purchased this rug for myself, but will definitely keep it in mind for a future design job. Best of luck and Happy Shopping!
Super thick and plush; beautiful ivory color - I could lay on this rug all day. I bought for bedroom - hardwood floors- so I could have something super soft to step on before I went to bed and in the am, and getting dressed, etc. It does not disappoint! I had considered duplicating in living room however this rug would not be practical in a high traffic area, but if it's in a room where people just lay on floor to watch tv, or play charades (ha) it would be awesome. Very thick and high pile, so would not clear doors. Again, it is perfect as a side-of-the-bed rug for your bare feet to feel and walk on, especially first thing in the am!
This rug was absolutely as-advertised and a great deal. It is soft, looks nice and basically does everything we want it to do. Our dog had a couple accidents on it and they came out easily. We looked at a few other rugs that were the same style and cost much more. Very glad we chose this one. dA care note -- Be careful when you vacuum it to use the high rug setting and not leave it in any one area.... my husband let our vacuum sit on the rug for a minute and it made the section it was sitting on look frizzy.
I love this rug! I have the ivory rug in the 8x10, 5'3x7'6, and the 3x5. It is very good quality and so soft and cushy on your toes. I haven't noticed any shedding or chemical smell. I think it looks great with my taupe walls and white painted trim.
Pleased with the area rug. I usually need to see it and feel it, but needed something for an apartment and didn't have time to brick and mortar shop. Quality, color, feel are what I hoped, so I'm happy.
The rug was perfect. I feel that the picture does not really help, it is more plush and the ivory is a little darker. It is really soft, just perfect!
Ordered this rug for a guest room. It is super soft and looks great!
Cozy, does not look cheap. I like it. Had a spot on the first rug that I received. Got in touch with overstock customer care and within two days I had a new rug that arrived at my house. Excellent experience.
What's not to love? Exceptional quality and amazing price!
soft, thick, comfortable...buy it and you will love it...

Lisa Kennedy Sheldon Appointed as New Editor of Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing
PITTSBURGH, PA (November 3, 2014) The Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) has announced the appointment of Lisa Kennedy Sheldon, PhD, APRN, BC, AOCNP® as editor of the Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing (CJON) effective June 1, 2015. Dr. Sheldon will serve as editor-elect under current editor Deborah K. Mayer, PhD, RN, AOCN®, FAAN, beginning January 2015. CJON, published bimonthly, is an official publication of ONS and is directed to the practicing nurse specializing in the care of patients with an actual or potential diagnosis of cancer.
Dr. Sheldon is an assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts-Boston and an oncology nurse practitioner in the Cancer Center at St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua, NH. Her program of research has focused on communication and psychosocial concerns of people living after a diagnosis of cancer. She served as a past associate editor for CJON.
"It has been my pleasure to be involved with CJON for almost 10 years as an author, peer reviewer, writing mentor, and an associate editor," said Sheldon. "Throughout my career, I have witnessed the impact of oncology nursing practice on the outcomes of people living after a diagnosis of cancer. I am honored to follow Deb Mayer as editor and continue the important mission of CJON, delivering the information oncology nurses need to deliver the best patient care."
On Sale Now: The Prince of Los Cocuyos by Richard Blanco
Richard Blanco, our closing speaker at INANE 2014, mentioned his forthcoming memoir several times during his presentation. It has been released today and is available in both hardback and e-book versions. From the publisher:
A poignant, hilarious, and inspiring memoir from the first Latino and openly gay inaugural poet, which explores his coming-of-age as the child of Cuban immigrants and his attempts to understand his place in America while grappling with his burgeoning artistic and sexual identities.
Richard Blanco's childhood and adolescence were experienced between two imaginary worlds: his parents' nostalgic world of 1950s Cuba and his imagined America, the country he saw on reruns of The Brady Bunchand Leave it to Beaver—an "exotic" life he yearned for as much as he yearned to see "la patria."
Navigating these worlds eventually led Blanco to question his cultural identity through words; in turn, his vision as a writer—as an artist—prompted the courage to accept himself as a gay man. In this moving, contemplative memoir, the 2013 inaugural poet traces his poignant, often hilarious, and quintessentially American coming-of-age and the people who influenced him.
A prismatic and lyrical narrative rich with the colors, sounds, smells, and textures of Miami, Richard Blanco's personal narrative is a resonant account of how he discovered his authentic self and ultimately, a deeper understanding of what it means to be American. His is a singular yet universal story that beautifully illuminates the experience of "becoming;" how we are shaped by experiences, memories, and our complex stories: the humor, love, yearning, and tenderness that define a life.
Advance praise for the book is extremely positive:
"A warm, emotionally intimate memoir." —Kirkus
"Blanco has a natural, unforced style that allows his characters' vibrancy and humor to shine through." —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
"Forged from truth and grace, Blanco has crafted a deeply compelling and moving memoir about place, self and family." —Augusten Burroughs, author of This Is How and Running With Scissors
"The Prince of Los Cocuyos had me laughing time and again with its warm, sweetly self-deprecating portrait of an immigrant family attempting to straddle Cuban traditions and American trends." —Andrew Solomon, author of Far From the Tree
"Thank you, Richard, for this. The Prince of los Cocuyos is revelation and homecoming." —Sandra Cisneros, author of The House on Mango Street
"I adored every minute spent with young 'Riqui' and his endearing extended family. And at the end-an ending so beautiful and throat-catching-I felt wonderfully drenched in love." —Monica Wood, author of When We Were the Kennedys
"Filled with colorful characters, often poignant and sometimes melancholy, Blanco's episodic memoir is a meditation on belonging, on self-acceptance, and on his family's almost mystical connection to Cuba." —Booklist
"Blanco's touching reminiscence has a deep emotional truth." —Bookpage

Sally Cohen appointed as Editor-in-Chief of Policy, Politics & Nursing Practice
We have just learned from David Keepnews (now former Editor-in-Chief) that effective July 1st, Sally Cohen has assumed the leadership of Policy, Politics & Nursing Practice. Here is the message that we received about this transition:
Dear Friends,
After serving as Editor-in-Chief of Policy, Politics, & Nursing Practice for almost 10 years, I have stepped down from that role. I am happy to announce that SAGE—with my strong support—has appointed Sally S. Cohen, PhD, RN, FAAN, as the journal's new Editor-in-Chief. I will continue to work closely with Sally in my new role as the journal's Consulting Editor.
Many of you know Sally, who has served as Deputy Editor since 2012. She is the Virginia P. Crenshaw Endowed Chair at the College of Nursing at the University of New Mexico, where she is also Director of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Nursing and Health Policy Collaborative. Sally was recently selected by the American Academy of Nursing, the American Nurses Association, and the American Nurses Foundation as Distinguished Scholar-in-Residence at the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies beginning September 1, 2014.
I cannot think of anyone more qualified than Sally to lead PPNP into the future. Sally brings unparalleled expertise in health policy and nursing, and a tested commitment to moving the journal forward. I look forward to continuing to work closely with her as she steps into her new role as PPNP Editor-in-Chief.
Over the past decade, I believe that the journal has continued to solidify its reputation as an important source of authoritative, high-quality and significant contributions to nursing and health policy—continuing the pioneering work of my predecessor, Carole Jennings, the journal's founding editor. I am very confident that Sally will carry this work forward effectively and energetically. I am excited about the future of the journal under Sally's leadership.
Please join me in welcoming Sally as Editor-in-Chief of PPNP.
With best wishes,
We wish David the very best as he moves to a new chapter! And congratulations to Sally as she assumes this important role!
Lillee Gelinas Appointed Editor-in-Chief
SILVER SPRING,MD– American Nurse Today, the official journal of the American Nurses Association (ANA), has announced Lillee Gelinas, MSN, RN, FAAN, has been appointed editor-in-chief effective June 1, 2014. Gelinas, a member of ANA and the Texas Nurses Association, has served on the journal's editorial board since its inception in 2006. American Nurse Today is a peer-reviewed journal owned and published by HealthCom Media.
Gelinas succeeds Pamela Cipriano, PhD,RN, NEA-BC, FAAN, who served as American Nurse Today editor-in-chief since its founding in 2006.
"We are excited to see Lillee assume this new role. She has demonstrated dedication and enthusiasm in her long service on the editorial board, and we are confident she will shape its future as editor-in-chief," said ANA President Karen A. Daley, PhD, RN, FAAN. "We also gratefully acknowledge Pam Cipriano for her leadership in helping to launch and establish American Nurse Today as a respected and valued journal."
ANA members receive a subscription to the award-winning journal as a benefit of membership.
"Lillee's amazing passion for nursing and her in-depth understanding of the profession will be a valuable asset as American Nurse Today continues its focus on delivering information that nurses can use in their practice," said Greg Osborne, HealthCom Media President. "Since her appointment to the editorial board in 2006, Lillee has contributed to shaping our award-winning editorial content. It is also very important to acknowledge Pam Cipriano, whose invaluable editorial leadership skills have helped establish American Nurse Today as the leading source of clinical and practical content in the nursing market."
"I am humbled and honored to accept this appointment with American Nurse Today," said Gelinas. "Pam Cipriano's shoes will be very hard to fill, but with a talented editorial board and an engaged audience, I'm very confident of a successful future. I firmly believe in the journal's role, which supports nursing practice through evidence-based, practical information, and the platform it provides to reinforce the fundamental role we as nurses play in transforming the health care system."
Gelinas continued, "Nurses are vital to the care provided today, are well-positioned to help patients navigate the shifts occurring in care delivery, and serve as the hearts and hands of our health care system.

Maybe I will learn something new here.
I honestly thought that all chemical reactions slowed down with a developer/film combination that required long development. Take, for example, D-23 with Tri-X at 68F: it takes 'forever' to achieve adequate contrast. So, I thought logically, that agitation with that combination should be about every two or three minutes, with a total development time of 20 to 30 minutes. Or take HC-110 using a rather active dilution of 'B', with Pan F: Maybe less than five minutes, total, would be adequate for such development (achieving same gamma), and, with that combination, agitation at least every 30 seconds would become mandatory for complete freedom from possible inconsistency.
kintatsu posits that separation between high and low values is decreased with less agitation. That is true in an absolute sense, of course, but not necessarily true in the two relative senses I pose above. With long, long development times I don't think that 'every 30 seconds' achieves any greater separation than with 'every two or three minutes'. Why? Because with slow development the developer reducing the highlight area remains just as strong as the developer reducing the less taxing shadow areas for a lot longer time. Thus, there is no exhausted developer to replace (yet). But with the fast development for Pan F and HC-110, the exhaustion takes place far more rapidly, thus agitaion must be far more frequent.
Regardless, maybe I am incorrect; your diverging viewpoints are certainly welcomed. Sometimes that which seems logical proves to be misguided when others offer better reasons. - David Lyga

Mikhail Lievovich Gebelev
Learn about sponsoring this memorial...
Oct. 15, 1905, Belarus
Aug. 15, 1942
Minsk City District, Belarus
Anti-Nazi Resistance leader, the tacit Resistance head in the ghetto of Minsk.
Having been born in the Jewish shtetl of Uzliany he later moved to the city of Minsk and worked there as clerk and public servant. After the Germans had invaded Soviet Union and occupied the city of Minsk he went into hidding, then met the most senior Resistance leader in Minsk
Isay Pavlovich Kazinetz
and was appointed by him the liason officer between the Communist resistors on the "Aryan" side of Minsk (lead by Kazinetz himself) and the ghetto fighters, whose leader was the Jewish Polish refugee Hersh Smoliar.
However Mikhail Gebelev soon emerged as tacit head of the ghetto resistors, because Mr. Smoliar turned out to be a honorable man- but also an absolutely non-charismatic one.
Mikhail Gebelev played a key role in Isay Kazinets� plan to stage the large-scale simultaneous uprisings of the Communist underground, ghetto resistors and Soviet War prisoners to drive the Germans out of Minsk and defend the liberated city until the Red Army units arrive, but the rebellion was foiled, because through treason and tortures the Gestapo crushed the Communist Resistance and put to death its leaders-including Kazinetz.
However the ghetto fighter organisation still remained largely intact -thanks to Gebelev's brilliant leadership and an active help of the ghetto council head Moshe Yoffe.
In the following weeks and months Mikhail Gebelev, backed by Smoliar and Yoffe, organized mass escapes of the ghetto prisoners to the forests outside Minsk, where they formed (or joined) partisan units to fight the German occupiers and local collaborators.
Gebelev himself was asked many times to flee as well, but he firmly replied "I am here in the line of duty !"
In August 1942 he was detained by the Belarusian collaborators, delivered to the gestapo, brutally tortured and hanged in the prison-without giving his captors any names or information.
A few months later the German occupiers "liquidated" the ghetto and murdered its remaining prisoners, icluding Moshe Yoffe and Mikhail Gebelev's 80-year-old father Liev.
Hersh Smoliar could miraculously escape in the very last moment and published in 1947 a book, where he described Gebelev's heroism (and downplayed his own), but only in 2005 the municipality of Minsk honored the fallen resistor and named after him a street in the former ghetto.

We spent the weekend at this amazing getaway! I can't speak highly enough about this location, property and the owners. As shown, the house is right on the beach with beautiful patio furniture and a great firepit (with loads of dry wood available). There is a BBQ with all the tools as well. The house is completely stocked with everything you could want. The kitchen is ready for any cook and there is even a Nepresso machine with lots of capsules! The linens and towels are like a fine hotel :) The owners put fresh flowers out and even provided a bottle of wine. There were lavender soaps, lotions and sprays to make it feel like your own home. Don't miss out on this spot - it is a slice of heaven!
We truley loved this home. We had one of the best
This started out as a simple trip to bring our daughter back to college near Seattle after her Christmas break with us in Utah. I had never been up to Washington and we thought this was a perfect time to rent a home and make a vacation out of it. This ended up being the perfect house. The beds are amazing! We could not remember the last time we had slept that well. All of our children ranging from 21-10 absolutely enjoyed every aspect of staying in this home. The kitchen floors resemble the solar system and this was great fun for my school aged kids. We all Loved the Jacuzzi and looking out over the water. (so relaxing) The sauna was a great treat also. Upstairs in the loft was a game room equipped with a poker table/ bumper pool. This supplied us with great evening fun. Something that was nice for my wife and I was that the master bedroom is semi detached from the house so if the kids stayed up late to watch movies we could not hear them unless we left the doors open. I could go on and on about how wonderful this house was and how it felt like a home. We hope to come back and stay here again. Amy and her husband were very easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed. The neighborhood was great and the house was even better than described. The time put in to building this house with all of its unique features is something we will remember for years to come.
Comfortable, clean, convenient, and beautiful
I stayed at the Gateway Inn while working in Bremerton for 6 weeks. It took me a while to decide in which property I wanted to stay, because the photos made each look so inviting. I decided on this unit because of the washer and dryer. Immediately, I was very happy with my choice. While the street can be busy, traffic noise was not an issue. The kitchen had all of the tools I needed to prepare my own meals. The unit had all of the comforts of home, and my stay was very relaxing. It is evident a lot of care and attention is given to these units.
All of the Gateway Inn units are in a very convenient location near downtown Bremerton, and are a great place to stay if you're working at one of the bases or staying for recreation in the Kitsap Peninsula. I found it the perfect place to start out a day's trip in the Olympic and Kitsap Peninsulas or to walk to the Bremerton Ferry terminal for a trip to Seattle.
Next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely look to return to the Gateway Inn!

(First let me say I am a little thin o=n this part of Windows. Thanks for your patience.)
My company buys a custom USB keyboard that has one extra key that sends the scancode for F16. Yes, F16 not shift- or alt- or ctrl-F-something else.
When I hook the keyboard to a standard Windows PC (Win-7), no key press is passed in if the F16 key is pressed. However, my iMac sees it just fine.
I experimented with hooking a Mac keyboard to the Win-7 machine. This keyboard has F1 to F19 implemented. All of those are passed in and recognized.
So, does Win7 recognize the Mac Keyboard as nonstandard and load a different driver? Does the default driver recognize that it's a Mac keyboard and turn on handling of F13-F19?
The target OS for this keyboard is Win XP. Is it possible to get the default driver to always turn on F13-f19 processing or to have the alt driver take over as the default driver?
Additional Info as Requested
Sorry, Windows Firefox won't let me post this as an Added Comment.
All this is from Win 7. My only copy of XP is in a VMWare workspace on a Mac.
What does Device Manager report as the driver for the Mac keyboard?
Reports Apple Keyboard using
Microsoft Driver: 6.1.7600.16385 (win7_rtm.090713-1255
**Device Driver Details**
Using a simple keystroke tool, we can capture F13 to F19.
Same for the custom keyboard except it is "unknown" manufacturer
sometimes listed as "standard keyboards", and the driver apparentgl.y
loads one less .sys file.
**Device Driver Details**
Same keystroke capture tool can't "hear" anything when our F16 key is pressed.
(The key has our company logo on it and it supposed to be something like a help key.)

Cut Him Loose
One of the nice things about watching the Republicans crash and burn is that we can learn from their mistakes rather than repeating them. It's a pity Tim Mahoney doesn't seem to have taken advantage of this opportunity:
"The Democrat who replaced disgraced Florida Rep. Mark Foley -- running on a pledge to restore dignity to the office -- now faces a jaw-dropping election-year sex scandal of his own. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is calling for an ethics committee probe into reports that Florida Rep. Tim Mahoney (D-Fla.) made a $121,000 payment to a former constituent caseworker on his staff with whom he reportedly had an affair. Mahoney, 52, reached a settlement with onetime campaign volunteer Patricia Allen after their relationship ended, according to a person close to the first-term congressman. Mahoney is scheduled to address the affair at a Florida news conference Tuesday -- with his wife, Terry, by his side, according to Democratic aides. The scandal could have repercussions far beyond the Sunshine State, where Mahoney ran under the slogan "Restoring America's values begins at home.""
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is calling for an ethics committee probe into reports that Florida Rep. Tim Mahoney (D-Fla.) made a $121,000 payment to a former constituent caseworker on his staff with whom he reportedly had an affair.
Mahoney, 52, reached a settlement with onetime campaign volunteer Patricia Allen after their relationship ended, according to a person close to the first-term congressman.
Mahoney is scheduled to address the affair at a Florida news conference Tuesday -- with his wife, Terry, by his side, according to Democratic aides.
The scandal could have repercussions far beyond the Sunshine State, where Mahoney ran under the slogan "Restoring America's values begins at home.""
It's not the affair that bothers me. (That, I think, is none of my business.) It's the fact that he had one with a staffer. That's abuse of power, and it's wrong.
It's not too late for Nancy Pelosi, though. Calling for a probe of Mahoney is a good start. But if, on looking into it, she finds that he has done this, she should do whatever she can to get him to resign before the election.
If Democrats want to show that they are different from Republicans, they have to do it when it's tough, not just when it's easy. If this report is accurate, cut him loose.
He's also very conservative and was likely to lose anyway. Might as well cut him loose now.
At least his problem is with an adult woman. That's a small improvement.
Well, yeah. But there's also this:
Why do they almost always insist on making their wives take part in the public humiliation, even above and beyond everyone already knowing about the indiscretion? The details in this guy's case are sleazy beyond belief - and he's gonna make his wife stand beside him in front of the cameras as he acknowledges what a sleaze he is? As if that makes him look less, rather than more, sleazy?
If there was abuse, Then cut him loose!
"Why do they almost always insist on making their wives take part in the public humiliation...?"
It's bizarre and somewhat cowardly. The wife is there as a shield, sort of like a kevlar vest on a battlefield. And like the vest, she isn't allowed to cry out in pain, either.
Make an example of the guy and dump him quick. Message to other Dems: "We don't do this, at least now while we're in office."
Yes, Hilzoy, you are 100% correct. It's not a personal privacy issue when it's a member of your staff. Affairs among adults are private issues until they cross clear ethical lines - people under your supervisory control, people getting counseling from you, people taking your class, etc. are all strictly off limits. Failure to understand this simple ethical rule is a deal breaker. Cut him loose and don't look back.
Calling for a probe of Mahoney is a good start. But if, on looking into it, she finds that he has done this, she should do whatever she can to get him to resign before the election.
Yeah, just like she's turned up the heat on William Jefferson! Go get him, girl! Or don't... what the hell.
Wow, something that Pelosi's not saying is off the table. I'm thrilled.
Please, do not bring along your wife to stand in front of the TV cameras after you've admitted to fucking another woman. Don't do it, I'm begging you. It's bad.
So, letsee... He had an affair. Stupid. He promised her a job, got her a job on his staff, and she resigned. Then he paid her off.
What I don't get is what the heck is happening here? Why did she need a settlement? Why'd he need to give one?
He's not lost his position anyhow, Democrats won't vote for someone who fibbed, generally, but sometimes we'll leave them as-is.
But I doubt we'd keep a guy who paid off someone... Then again, Edwards...
What's with the settlements? Are people who had affairs with married people supposed to get them? Why?
Sure makes sense.
Unless he used his position to force her into a relationship there's no abuse there (appearance of abuse notwithstanding).
This sounds like the same relationship that Bill Clinton had with Monica.
Not that the Democrats shouldn't drop him from the party anyway.
Cut this asshole loose. He had an affair, which is wrong - I don't give a crap, it's wrong if he is married. He had the affair with a SUBORDINATE, which is abuse of power. He had the affair and tried to cover it up, which shows guilty knowledge.
Get this asshole to quit today, and get in someone else.
Is there any proof that Mahoney actually had an affair?
Is there any proof that Mahoney actually had an affair? -- Leo, @ 22:34
Well, he didn't *deny* it, which would have been the first line of defense, had the rumour been no more than a rumour (or unprovable). And the fact that he's gonna address it publicly, with his wife at his side (the cad!), suggests it's more than just smoke. Read the TPM posting and then click on the last link contained within:
Wow. Everybody in this story sounds pretty reprehensible.
Mahoney, who is running as the "ethical" candidate, not only has multiple affairs, but has one with a subordinate whose job he threatens when she tries to end the affair.
The subordinate, a 50-year old woman who ought to know better, only wants to break off the affair with her married lover when she finds out about the other other women, then essentially blackmails him for cash payoffs and a job at his firm.
The wife is dumb, and I'm not sure what's worse-- her putting up with her husbands' multiple affairs or her performing the obligatory stand-by-her-man.
Are all politicians' lives soap operas? What the hell is wrong with these people?
Ditto for the idiot in Pennsylvania who reportedly directed a $9mil earmark to a company owned by his family. The company subsequently went bankrupt. He's up for the first serious Republican challenge in years. Good bye.
From the information presented, it sounds like a conflict of interest, not an abuse of power. The two are very distinct.
I agree, Hilzoy. We need to send a very clear message that Dems won't tolerate this mess. If Nancy wants to restore some of the lost opportunities of this session of Congress, she could start right here, right now and take a very hard stand against Mahoney.
I don't disagree with Republicans because they are Republicans. I disagree with Republicans because of what they do, and what they stand for. If the Dems go down this same path, I will disagree with them too and look elsewhere.
There should be no debate. Immediately relive him of any committee appointments, if any, and start the pressure on him to resign.
previously... Wow, something that Pelosi's not saying is off the table. I'm thrilled.
This a practice run-a learning curve ya know. Next we'll sort through the (big) box of stuff that got shuffled off the table.
"More and better Democrats" starts early, by making clear that if he doesn't resign, he's got no future in the caucus.
I hope the ex sees this and gets nervous as he runs for statewide office for the first time. I still have the emails sent to the paramour from the family computer
If you get married, no matter how fucked up it may end up, you almost always start off as best friends. I completely understand wives standing by their husbands, even when what is said completely invalidates the marriage. Friends are there, no matter what. I have sympathy for all involved, but most of all the wife and the children, if there are any.
On surface it's abuse of power and if it's abuse of power, it's wrong.
(addressing posters not Hilzoy) But jeebus, we're emotional and sexual animals. And sometimes we fuck when we shouldn't or fall for someone when we shouldn't. The facts as shown don't look good but we don't know the details of Mr. Mahoney's marriage and his relationship nor should we. And not knowing, I don't know how so many people can be so sanctimonious, can cast their stones so casually yet so vehemently.
Aren't we a little hard on people's human frailties?
Being elected to public office doesn't provide a magic cloak of imperviousness to the urges we all have, and that are most difficult to resist when we are working with the same people day after day.
I have never been married, but to tell the truth I don't know how *any* married people are able to stay faithful. When lust strikes, it's almost impossible to resist. And when it's over, there are almost always hard feelings.
So yeah, I cut the guy some slack.
And besides, since when have we Democrats aspired to be the party of sexual purity?
"Restoring America's values begins at home."
But ends at the office, apparently. The affair I don't care about - it's a private matter - but there has to be an investigation of why the former staffer got the $121K...Was it earned (legitimately) or was it a payoff?
Dems can afford to lose him, not exactly a tough decision in my view, besides, he's not exactly a stellar Democrat.
Who in the great beyond are these women who are so willing to have affairs with married men and then threaten to go public?
Do we imagine that this is all Mahoney's fault and that he promised the volunteer or whoever she was that he would leave his wife for her or something?
I just know that I don't feed raw chicken to my cats by hand. My cats love me, and I them, but that is a good way to get bitten.
@hilzoy: It's not the affair that bothers me. (That, I think, is none of my business.) It's the fact that he had one with a staffer. That's abuse of power, and it's wrong.
How many of your married/coupled friends met at work? How many weren't in the same exact job at the same exact level of seniority at the time? Are they all abusers and abused?
I am all for dealing harshly with a guy who would accede to some kind of quasi-extortive arrangement, and I think people are entitled to look unfavorably on adultery, so I have no sympathy for this guy. But the standard expressed above is the wrong way to look at the situation.
At the risk of sounding concern-trollish, there's something a bit odd about Democrats demanding that a politician resign for having an affair with a staffer. Short memories, and all.
To my mind, the same argument applies as during l'Affaire Lewinsky. Politicians are elected to a term of office. If wrongdoing that falls short of criminal conduct is exposed, the politician should be offically censured and may choose to resign, but is under no obligation to do so. It is up to the voters to determine whether an ethical lapse rises to the level of job termination.
alkali (as well as snicker-snack and Guy in Jersey) has the right take here. As I read once upon the cover of Vogue about 15 years ago, attributed to Jennifer Lopez: "You can't tell your heart who to love." There's been a disturbing anti-sex undercurrent in America these past few decades, attributable, if I may paint with a very broad brush, to a peculiar convergence of interest between social conservatism and feminism. (Talk about strange bedfellows!) This has led directly to all sorts of bizarre and unfollowable proscriptions around date rape (in school) and harassment (in work) that attempt to define out of existence the natural flirtations and sexual relationships that happen whenever people live and interact together.
I remember a few years ago I saw a French movie about a medical or nursing student who has an affair with her sexy, mysterious teacher. It was a thriller, so she suspected him of being a murderer, and that she was possibly his next victim, so when he got all creepy and stalkery she brought up the issue to some sort of administrative board. In their meeting there was nodding assent around the table as the chairman intoned what I can only presume is the French party line: "In any environment there will be... entanglements, and it is our duty only to make sure they do not adversely affect the other members of the community." In other words, people have all sorts of sex for all kinds of reasons, and it's really none of our business. And if anyone wants to claim abuse of power, then the burden of proof should really be on them, and the assumption should be of innocence (in the legal, not sexual, sense).

Bob Burnquist and the Toyota Prius MPV – Click above to watch video after the jump
Facebook is quickly becoming the auto industry's go-to resource for leaking news and information... unless you happen to make German sports cars. Toyota, however, does not make German sports cars, so it's all about the Facebook and has a page set up for its popular Prius hybrid. On said page, we came across this photo showing off the interior of "an upcoming addition to the Prius family."
The Toyota Prius finally appears ready to expand from a single model into a full lineup of vehicles. At the popular hybrid-electric car's 10th anniversary party this past weekend, Toyota showed off a billboard that teased a larger, more frugal kind of people carrier with the tagline, "The Prius family is getting a whole lot bigger," and it's thoughtfully included a photo of it on the Prius' Facebook page.
Even though we've been hearing various rumblings across the interwebs for quite some time now that Toyota was hard at work crafting a mini-minivan version of its popular Pruis hybrid hatchback, it always helps assuage the skeptics when spy shots start to show up. And that's exactly what we have here.
