Hazardous to your future

I'm talking about the weather and social networks, AKA Weinerville.
The heatwave is keeping me indoors.  On enviroflash you can find air quality reports and pretty much the entire northeast has a warning for certain people.  The certain people are of course those with asthma.  Not a lot of walking going on, but the heatwave will break tonight with thunderstorms.

About the temptation for some people to expose themselves on the internet.
Anthony Weiner, has been front page news, late night comic fodder, and a disgraced public figure.  He's not the first and he won't be the last.  Public exhibition is not uncommon. I've been on a subway when guys have exposed themselves, and was only made aware of those incidents because the women made an issue of it.  They probably made an issue of it because the subway was crowded with men and women and therefore they felt safe.  There are two kinds of public exhibition.  One is a crime and punishable as indecent exposure because "it is done in a threatening manner".  The other exposure when viewed as non-threatening and done to arouse or shock is called exhibitionism. The medical label of the compulsion to exhibit oneself is called Apodysophilia.  The difference between the two sounds clear, right, but who's determining if there is a threat.
In 1907 Annette Kellerman was arrested in Boston for wearing a one piece bathing suit.
In 2003, a 21 year old woman was arrested for appearing naked on the internet.
In 2005, 6 men were arrested and convicted in Chicago for nudity while participating in the "world naked bike ride".  Sentences ranged from fines to 3 months probation.  Once convicted you must register as a sex offender, forever, and some public areas are closed to you.  That "stunt" may have ruined their lives.
Then there are the sex tapes of celebrities on the internet, which quickly go on sale.  Not public indecency?
So the story:
Well, Anthony Weiner was possibly going to be the next mayor of New York City.  In 1991 at the age of 27 he was the youngest person to sit on the New York City Council.  When Schumer became Senator, Weiner who worked as an aide to Schumer ran for Schumer's congressional seat in 1999 and won.  He has won reelection consistently with large margins.  He is one of the few people in government who believe Medicare should be the National Health Care.  He has a reputation for working long hours and working his staff, ergo 3 chiefs of staff in 18 months.  Right now he's probably the loneliest man on the planet.  I appreciate the hard work he's done, in congress, and I hope he gets help.
There will be no pictures from me today.
