Paula Bohovesky, 16, is pictured here in an undated photo. (Bohovesky family photo) New York state lawmakers are calling on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to block the release of a man convicted in the 1980 murder of a 16-year-old girl in a crime so depraved it stunned law enforcement and shook a close-knit community to its core. Paula Bohovesky, an aspiring actress and high school honor student, was beaten, sexually assaulted and stabbed to death as she walked home from a local library in the quiet hamlet of Pearl River, N.Y., a village 40 miles north of New York City. A jury convicted Richard LaBarbera and Robert McCain of second-degree murder in 1981, and the two men were sentenced to 25 years to life in prison – the toughest sentence possible at that time. On Wednesday, a parole board of Cuomo appointees informed Bohovesky’s family that LaBarbera will be released in July – a move that shocked victim advocates, state lawmakers and the girl’s mother, who said in a … [Read more...] about Calls mount for Cuomo to block imminent release of convicted child killer

So, the last time I wished Andy Rooney was still alive and available for a virtual interview, the year was 2012. Curiously, Clint Eastwood was interviewing an empty chair up on stage in front of a bunch enthusiastic elderly white folks (and research shows at least half of 'em were probably missing at least 50% of their teeth.) Today, that seems so "good ole days." Andy would have been 100-years old last month. And with the legendary curmudgeon unavailable, I went with a stated opinion from former President, George W. Bush. And even though Bush did invade the wrong sovereign nation, thought Malaria was a country, and almost helped the U.S. economy go el Busto; these days I'm guilty I didn't show the ole artist a little more love. President Bush has reflected "(He) hoped the ship (current state of the republic) would right itself" but indicated "he might not live to see the day."

My mom is the most selfless person I know. She would do anything for anyone or anything. She is always there for me when I need her and I hope to have the same relationships with my daughters too. We are constantly told that we look like sisters. At 15 it drove me nuts, but now I appreciate it being in my 30's!"
