Corruption at its best.

New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer has recently been liked to a high-priced prostitution ring. This is such a hit the New Yorkers, because Spitzer is known as the squeaky clean Governor that fought hard against crime and wall street corruption. His wife stood by his side at a press conference today, where he said that he did wrong and apologized to the people and his family. He never fully disclosed his involvement in the ring, saying he would not take questions. Fellow politicians are calling for his resignation, but it is thought that he is not planning on resigning, at least yet. 

It was reported that he booked Feb. 13th with a prostitute named "Kristin". He was paying to send her from NY to DC on train, and all of her costs while there. Her booking fee is $4,300. The club is name the Emperors Club, and they have prostitutes under different diamond categories. A 3 diamond girl costs $1,000 and hr, a 7 diamond girl would cost $3,100 and hr, and the highest paying could be $5,500 and hr.

Random violence



Work hard, study hard, be good hearted, good comes to you. You succeed in society and go to Heaven. That is the ideals of Protestants, and to me, is just common sense. You work hard, you succeed. That isn't true so much anymore. Innocent people are getting gunned down on a daily basis now. I come home from school today and see that to college students were shot to death in the East Coast. The Police aren't sure if the shootings are related, and now to young women, educating themselves to better the world, are dead. Eve Carson, pictured to the left, was the student body president at UNC. Lauren Burke, not pictured, was at student at Auburn University. I have to be honest, my head turns everything I hear something when I walk on the street. My eyes and ears are open constantly, wondering if I will make it home. The world is a different place then when my father was my age. But I am determined to not let it affect me. I promise I will succeed and better myself and others.
