Ted, > Okay, dude, tell us how your going to create millions of jobs in the next six months. Repealing part of ObamaCare would be a good start. Might raise the deficit, but hey, in a way that's exactly what Krugman is arguing for. Tenchusatsu

Letting employers know what they're facing* so they can plan will help a lot. Get rid of the Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. *In terms of taxes and mandates regarding health costs and energy usage.

Ex-NJ lawmaker gets 5-year term for child porn Nov 4 11:21 AM US/Eastern By ANGELA DELLI SANTI Associated Press TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - A former state lawmaker who championed legislation fighting child pornography was sentenced Thursday to a five-year term for viewing nude images of underage girls. Neil Cohen will serve the term either in prison or a mental hospital. The state Corrections Department will decide which venue. He could become eligible for release and be placed under intense supervision in several months. Appearing pale and unsteady, Cohen did not speak during sentencing. His lawyer told the judge the former assemblyman has been suicidal and has several mental health issues, including chronic depression. He has been hospitalized for months, according to the lawyer, Mark Tuohey. Judge Gerald Council imposed sentence in Mercer County Superior Court. "This is a sad day," the judge said. "But for this incident, he had an unblemished record." Cohen pleaded guilty in April. He served 17 years in the state Legislature as a Democrat representing Union County. He resigned following his arrest in July 2008. The former lawmaker admitted viewing images of underaged girls on computers in his legislative office and law office. Anthony Picione, the deputy attorney general who prosecuted the case, said 34 images of girls in various stages of undress were found on the computers. He said authorities have been able to match some of the images to photos on the list of Missing and Exploited Children. The Attorney General's Office said in a press release that Cohen admitted printing copies of some images and placing the copies in the desk of a female receptionist in the legislative office. Cohen must register as a sex offender under Megan's Law, and he'll be barred from holding public office. He's a lawyer and will likely be disbarred. Copyright 2010 The Associated Press.
