BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU DEPT:
"Tax deadbeats are finding someone actually reads their MySpace and Facebook postings: the taxman. State revenue agents have begun nabbing scofflaws by mining information posted on social-networking Web sites, from relocation announcements to professional profiles to financial boasts."
Another reason why conservatives want to keep government limited in scope...
IS THE GOP DEAD? DEPT:
Nope--in New Jersey, Republican gubernatorial Chris Christie continues to lead Dem incumbent Jon Corzine pretty big.
By the way, other polls note that Corzine job approval rating in NJ is 35%; disapproval, 65%. Good luck with that, Mr. Corzine.
BASEBALL DIARY: the Tigers lose to the Angels yesterday 4-2, but still take the series, 2 victories to one. Edwin Jackson didn't pitch that badly; but give credit to the Angels' Joe Saunders, who pitched a bit better.
Meanwhile the Yankees yesterday again schooled young Rangers' pitcher Derek Holland, beating him 9-2. Andy Pettite of the Yankees again showed why he's now third all-time on the Yankee win list.
And the Cubs got some hitting from Milton Bradley and blasted the Nationals, 9-4. But what they really need to salvage this season is to win 9 or 10 in a row, and soon. Yesterday's win was only one.
