A few interested readers asked me about sending the respective campaigns the Gun Rights Political Questionnaire, to see if it could be useful in further defining the level of understanding and commitment the candidates have for the right to keep and bear arms.

Kerik is accused of secretly accepting more than $250,000 in renovations to his apartment from a construction firm with suspected mafia ties while he was Corrections Department commissioner under Giuliani.Facing 142 years and a $5M fine seems kind of harsh for "crimes" against the government, but then I have to remember that this guy made a lucrative "Only One" career for himself enforcing all kinds of things that shouldn't have been illegal in the first place.

Martin has once again been put on paid administrative leave after Kristopher Douglas accused the trooper of throwing him to the ground and beating him with a nightstick without any explanation.
