The New York Senate is one of the most corrupt political bodies in the country and two major court decisions this week have begun what will hopefully become a trend in putting corrupt politicians in their place.

Lady GaGa is known for her crazy fashion sense, though she usually works it much better. This “toned down” version is not pretty. As a huge fan of Lady GaGa (both her music and her style), may I say that this outfit is not at all attractive? She may have had to ditch …continue reading
