The media doesn’t show much interest in the problem, however, and it remains to be seen whether relevant committees of Congress will have Fallon appear before them to discuss the matter. So far, at least, we’ve gotten much discussion of Ferraro, even more about Spitzer, but comparatively little about the truly important subject of a possible war with Iran*

I'm a 59 year old male who's decendency could best be described as "Heinz 57" with a heavy dose of German, Russian (mongolian?), French, and Cherokee (grandmother). I've spent the better part of my life stuggling to avoid the "hamster wheel of normalcy" and revel in showing people the funnier side of life while I share the secrets of their true potential.

Spitzer's Motives

As an author and "closet human behavioralist" I've been sharing info over the airwaves for the past decade using an interesting "system" that I won't go into any detail explaining at this time. Spitzer piqued my curiosity so I spent a few moments analyzing him and came up with some interesting factors. Emotionally, he's a narcissist, self focussed, vengeful, and quick to anger. This is a guy who likes to do things independantly and does have leadership capabilities if he can keep his negative aspects in balance. Intellectually, this guy doesn't like surprises, likes his T's crossed and his I's dotted...probably known for his stubborness and tenacity...."his way or the highway". On the positive side, his sense of structure provides a good base for building and organizing in a creative/innovative fashion. What I found interesting and telling is the "balance point" between his thoughts and feelings (what he does to feel most alive) has to do with "thrill seeking"....he likes to "live on the edge" and probably found that one-on-one relationships didn't provide the stimulus he needed. Considering the level of individuals he was trying to reign in regarding the banking fiasco, he was an accident waiting to happen.
