Atlantic City mayor drops out of sight
Under federal investigation for embellishing his Army service in Vietnam, a groggy-sounding Mayor Robert Levy called in sick at City Hall, climbed into his city-issued Dodge Durango and seemingly dropped off the face of the Earth.
So, that was pretty entertaining. Apparently this guy called in sick and hasn't been heard of since. But the truly interesting part of this story is that the main reason he did it was because he was under investigation for lying about his service. And then the story continues into probably the most awesome part:
The mystery and the gathering scandal over Levy's military record have worried civic leaders in this seaside casino resort, which has a long history of corruption, with four of the last eight mayors busted on graft charges and one-third of last year's nine-member City Council in prison or under house arrest.
Half of the past mayor's and a third of the most recent city councilmen have been in trouble with the law. Hell, that makes Huckabee look like a saint.
Seriously, I am one for supporting democracy and all, but how many times do you strike out before just say, alright, that's enough?
Stumble It!

I wrote a lovely and (in my mind) clever comment yesterday and now its not there! What of that?
At any rate, the gyst of it was: All your posts in the month of October start with an 'O', but you didn't do it for September. I could chalk up this lapse to the fact that it was your first week in blogging, and otherwise, good attention to detail!
Yours Sincerely,
Susan
