Staten Island also known as the "Outer Borough" has long been treated as a step-child in some quarters. These folks have been deprived of Congressional representation for over 100 days since their most recent Rep. resigned in disgrace. The election for a replacement will be May 5th and the contestants have had some raucous debates. But one thing they appear to agree on is wasteful spending in Washington. An
example of such was the National Institute of Health spending $387M on a study of the effect of Swedish massages on rabbits. This eyebrow raiser was headlined by Sen. Coburn (R) Okla. in his "wastebook". But the story doesn't end there. The rabbits were euthanized. But what a way to die - in the arms of a Swedish masseuse!.
