In the children’s section though? Woman Fired For Reporting Sex In Library It’s sad to see folks fired for doing their job. Hope the poor thing had a savings plan. According to KOB 4: A now-former assistant librarian claims the mayor fired her after she witnessed two town employees having sex in the children’s section of the Estancia Public Library. “Right in the middle of the library, in front of God and everybody,” attorney Joseph CampBell said. He’s representing Jaime Kurz who was terminated last week. CampBell said Kurz arrived at the library just before it opened on August 20th. He said she heard noises, set down her bags, and quickly discovered the employees having sexual intercourse. Later that day, he said Kurz contacted Julie Carter, who was the town clerk at the time, to report what she witnessed. CampBell said Carter then contacted Mayor Sylvia Chavez. In early October, CampBell said Kurz wrote a letter to the mayor requesting time off to avoid a “hostile work situation.” The mayor signed the letter, he said. A few days later, CampBell said Kurz and Carter both learned that they would lose their jobs. The town terminated Carter’s employment two weeks ago. “They’re two outsiders, non-locals,” he said. “You know, they stumbled upon and kicked up a hornets nest.” This is what she gets for her hard work. KOB Eyewitness News 4 attempted to contact Mayor Chavez in-person on Friday, but learned that she was out of town. In a phone conversation with Catherine Robinson, the city’s attorney, Robinson said Kurz and Carter were not terminated for reporting the alleged sex act, but said she could not elaborate since it was a personnel matter. Robinson confirmed that the sex allegations were addressed and dealt with after they were reported. A KOB Eyewitness News 4 crew found one of the accused employees at work on Friday. In a letter from Mayor Chavez to Kurz dated October 10th, Mayor Chavez told Kurz that she was being terminated for failing to turn over keys to the library when asked and for failing to meet with the mayor to discuss the hostile work claims. CampBell said the city’s arguments don’t hold water. “Yeah, it’s like a sieve,” he said. Although Kurz and Carter were at-will employees, meaning they could be terminated for no reason at any time, CampBell said they fall in a protected class under the Whistleblower Protection Act since they reported misconduct or inappropriate behavior. CampBell said he plans to file a lawsuit against the city in the next several months on Kurz’s behalf. Gary Mitchell, the attorney for Julie Carter, also said he’d do the same. The kids will be back in the children’s section touching those books. Eww. Shutterstock
Oh, you thought that skripper jawn was the only hoe on Cory’s stroll? Newark Mayor Cory Booker Solicits Women On Twitter Via NYPost Corey Booker has an impressive flock of sexy babes he chats with online — and even asks some of them for their private phone numbers. One of Booker’s pretty Twitter pals is a topless pin-up New Jersey gal whom he talked body tattoos with — hers — at two campaign stops. Others are sexy damsels in distress who ask Booker for help, and he responds by either requesting their phone number or privately giving them his. “When we did the ‘Run with Cory’ at Asbury Park, I tweeted a picture that showed us waiting for him,” said shapely model Courtney Wood, 32, a Bradley Beach local and self-described pin-up, to The Post on Thursday. The single Booker, 44, excitedly tweeted in response, “Almost there!’’ while en route to the Aug 30 event. Hold tight ladies, Cory is “coming”… The previous month, Booker got a tweet from a sultry woman in a bikini complaining police hadn’t shown up at her home after she called them. Booker replied, “I DM’ed u number, please text me.” DM is short for direct message. Another buxom woman with a Twitter profile photo of her in a cropped top asked Booker for help when her landlord shut off her water. Booker responded to the woman — who refers to herself as “the First Lady of Newark’’ with the twitter handle @Nwkz1stlady — “Check ur direct messages.” Then, Cory was all up in this PYT’s Twitter DM’s The candidate also asked for the cellphone number of pretty, young constituent Kelli Sanchez, who tweeted him, “Definitely signed up for voter reg at bridgewater mall for Cory Booker & no ones here. Fabulous.” “Kelli, DM me your cell #,” Booker tweeted back to the 24-year-old. Homie wastes NO time beating around the bush… He played the knight in shining armor for an engaged campaign volunteer, too. She tweeted to him that no one had answered her noise complaint, and Booker responded, “I sent u my cell #. Text me. “I’ll try 2 handle your noise complaint even if I have to come there myself & talk 2 ur neighbors,” he added. Oh, Cory, you sly devil… Image via Splash
Newark, N.J., Mayor and U.S. Senate candidate Cory Booker has been Tweeting up a storm with a Portland, Oregon stripper, according to a new report. Cory Booker Tweets With Stripper Lynsie Lee Booker and Lynsie Lee have carried on a “relationship” for some time. He once Tweeted her, “The East Coast loves you, and by the East Coast, I mean me.” Lee Tweeted to Booker: “If you’re POTUS I call dibs on First Lady.” Booker is a rising star in the Democratic party. His Senate campaign is being backed by Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Jerry Weintraub, among others. The 44-year-old media darling has already been talked about as a Democratic presidential candidate in the 2016 election or further down the road. He is also a longtime bachelor, making his Tweets with Lee … slightly less bad? Not only is he single, this is not exactly Anthony Weiner type stuff. Still, the fact that his Twitter pal Lynsie Lee posts lots of topless and bikini photos of herself online likely does not help his image … right? The idea of a single politician on a national scale – let alone one who cavorts with strippers – is not without precedent, but is certainly uncommon. America has not had a bachelor president since Bill Clinton James Buchanan. James Tyler, Woodrow Wilson and Grover Cleveland married while in office. How will this impact Booker? You be the judge.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg probably wishes he could take this comment back. In a recent interview, Bloomberg stated that mayoral candidate and NYC Public Advocate Bill de Blasio’s campaign is “racist.”… Continue

Consequences and repercussions… Actress Who Sent Ricin Letter To President Obama Facing 15 Year In Prison With Indictment Via ABCNews An actress who appeared on “The Walking Dead” has been indicted for allegedly sending poison-laced letters to President Obama, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and a gun control lobbyist in Washington, D.C. Shannon Guess Richardson, a 35-year-old from Boston, Texas, was charged with three counts including making “threats against the President of the United States.” The letters, one of which was first seen on ABC News, contained anti-gun control messages and threatening language. According to the indictment, the note to President Obama read in part: “You will have to kill me and my family before you get my guns. Anyone wants to come to my house will get shot in the face… I will take care of this myself and make sure you wont be runnin this country in the ground any further. What’s in this letter is nothing compared to what ive got in store for you mr president [sic].” The letters were laced with the poison ricin, but the U.S. Postal Service said it was in such low quantities that it did not pose a health threat. Other than the gun control lobbyist, none of the intended recipients came in contact with the letters. Not only did this dirty beyotch attempt to kill Barry-O, but she tried to throw her husband under the bus in the process! Richardson originally called the FBI after the letters were discovered and claimed her husband, Nathaniel Richardson, was the one that sent the letters, according to court documents. Later, authorities said it looked like Shannon had framed her husband. In an interview with ABC News’ “Good Morning America,” Nathaniel Richardson said it was “heartbreaking” to learn what his wife allegedly did. “The way I look at it, being angry is a waste of energy,” Nathaniel Richardson told ABC News. “She has done this to herself. She has destroyed my reputation and my life but there’s a way up from this and if I sit here and focus on anger, I can’t focus on getting on with my life.” If convicted, Shannon Richardson faces up to 15 years in federal prison, five for each charge, according to prosecutors. We hope she’s sentenced to every hour of that 15 years. Continue reading →

Bachelorette Desiree Hartsock is looking for a man who’s there for all the right reasons. Will she find him among the men remaining in the competition? Maybe. What she’ll definitely find is a group of guys willing to embarrass themselves in a Mr. America pageant in attempt to win her over and prove their eternal, undying love. At least until the next bachelor is chosen. (You can go ahead and check out The Bachelorette spoilers to see who she chooses. We don’t mind.) Let’s go ahead and break down this week’s antics with our THG +/- recap! Chris Harrison arrives at Casa de Testosterone to tell the remaining 13 men they all need to pack their bags. They’re headed to Atlantic City! Plus 4 . At the condo in Atlantic City, Brad gets the first one-on-one date. He, like Ben, has a son. But he’s not a douchebag using his kid as leverage like Ben, so there’s that. Plus 2 . The guys are all concerned that Brad is too reserved for Des, that he won’t be able to cut loose and show her his fun side. They have no idea! He’s relaxed and comfortable and there’s chocolate! Plus 5 for chocolate! Zak can look down from the guys’ hotel room and see Des and Brad on their date. So he stands at the window and watches them like a crazy person. Minus 5 . Down on the beach, someone has built an epic sand castle for the two to share some champagne and snacks. Des asks Brad what kind of girl he usually dates and he says he doesn’t really have a “type.” He’s looking for someone who’s a nice person and who will be a good mom for his son. Conversation kind of halts at that point. At dinner, Des asks him if he has any pet peeves. He doesn’t like it when people can’t ever be serious. Since she’s such a goofball, this is probably goodbye to him. If he doesn’t get the rose, it’s curtains for Brad. This dinner conversation is so painfully awkward. Horrifying to watch kind of painful. Minus 7 . While Brad and Des are scaling a light house, the other guys are taking bets on whether or not Brad’s coming back to the hotel at the end of the date. They say no. And they are right. Desiree doesn’t give Brad a rose. There are man tears. He’s not an unattractive crier, so he has that going for him. Now that Desiree has sent Brad packing, it’s time for the group date. The only guy not in attendance on this date is James who will get the next one-on-one date by default. Desiree’s fun event for their group date? A pageant. The Bachelorette’s Mr. America pageant. Plus 20 . Michael often dreamed of becoming Mr. America as a young kid. Of course he did. Minus 4 . Christopher Dean, world-famous pageant coach, is here to help them. I think he might be 12, so I’m not exactly sure how he got world-famous at this. Juan Pablo knows how to throw a baton. Plus 4. Chris rocks some incredibly sparkly, incredibly high heels. Plus 8 . Mikey’s disappointed that the bathing suit he’s been assigned for the swimsuit portion of the competition is bigger than the one he originally planned to wear. Minus 3 . Not only will the guys be performing for Desiree and Chris, they’ll be performing for a full audience inside the Boardwalk Hall. Fabulous! Plus 4 . Brooks is super nervous. It’s cute. Kasey’s up first. Ms. America asks him if he’s a giver or a taker in relationships. He says he’s a giver. He likes to show love and affection and if both people give in a relationship, the relationship works. Plus 5. Zak says that he would rather be fire than water. Brooks wants to be a lion. Chris flubs his answer, maybe on purpose. Juan Pablo reveals that he has a daughter and wants his woman to be a good dancer. Mikey thinks that women only see men for their bodies. But they cry inside, too. BWAHAHAHA. And now for the talent portion of the night. Kasey pretends to tap dance while Mikey, who’s sensitive inside, strips. Brooks sings a terrible song and smashes his ukulele. Ben ribbon dances and Drew recites Shakespeare. Chris hula hoops in his high heels and Bryden pelvic thrusts in the mayor’s face. Minus 15. Zak steals the show by writing and performing an original song. Plus 10 . During the swim suit competition, Mikey bounces his pecs and Brooks makes her laugh. Plus 4 . The second runner up for the competition is Brooks! Zak W. gets first runner up! Kasey steals the show and wins the crown and bursts into faux-man tears! Plus 10 . The group date continues around Desiree’s rooftop pool. She makes a toast to the fun day they’ve all had and hopes that will continue. Chris gets the first private time with her and reveals that he writes poetry. So does Desiree. After he reads her one of his poems, she pulls him in for a kiss. Plus 4 . None of the guys are fans of him, especially Bryden. Ben keeps saying he’s here to meet an amazing woman and not make friends. He doesn’t know who’s had one on one time with Desiree because he’s not the kind of guy who wants to see what’s going on. But he wants to show what’s going on. He steals Des away for alone time and then parks the two of them right in front of all the other guys. Minus 12 . When Zak’s turn with Desiree comes, he finishes the song he used during the talent portion of the pageant. It works and he gets the rose. Plus 8 . James is ready for his one-on-one date with Desiree. When she walks in to pick him up, Ben jumps up to hug her. Minus 3 . Instead of an “over the top and extravagant” date, they’re going on a helicopter ride with a Red Cross member to see the Jersey Shore to see the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. James and Desiree are overcome with emotion. After their helicopter ride, they go on a walking tour of the area and learn about the recovery efforts in place to help rebuild the shore. They talk to a couple who lost their home in the storm. Jan and Manny have been married for 38 years and spent their anniversary in a Red Cross shelter. Desiree and James decide to give up their date that evening and send Jan and Manny to Atlantic City to celebrate their life together. Plus 30 . James and Desiree find a local place and have pizza and beer while Jan and Manny experience the fairy tale dining of the usual date. Desiree talks about her parents and how Jan and Manny remind her of them. James feels the same way. And because he feels the same way, he decides to be honest with her about his past. He cheated on his last girlfriend after 5.5 years together. Minus 25 . But he was 18 and a freshman in college. Which means he started dating that girl when he was 13? 12 and a half? He’s ready to make a commitment now though and knows that he would never cheat again. Desiree is quite disappointed by his revelation. Back at the fairy tale date, someone presents Jan and Manny with a recreation and restoration of their wedding photos, which was one of the few things they were able to take when them when they left their home. It’s sweet and now they have those pictures to share with their grandchildren. Plus 10 . James and Desiree eventually make their way back to Jan and Manny and the four of them share a glass of wine and some champagne. Manny tells Desiree that she and James would make a great match. But she hasn’t given him the rose just yet. Darius Rucker makes a surprise appearance to give a private concert for Jan and Manny. Desiree and James sit around the table and she says she’s glad she shared that experience with him. Then she gives him the rose for being so honest. Plus 8 . Jan and Manny take off and Desiree and James stay to dance to Darius. He says he didn’t expect to meet such a beautiful person by coming there and they kiss a lot. Awwww. Now that the dates are over, it’s time for another cocktail party and rose ceremony. Bryden’s not sure if he’s feeling it and isn’t sure he can accept a rose if Desiree offers one. Uh oh. Michael gets the first alone time with her and presents her with a “gesture,” which is an acrostic poem. Which isn’t really a poem at all. Minus 5 . He ends his poem with his own initial, G, instead of hers. And then he kisses her. Bryden tells the other guys that he’s not sure he’s okay with the way things are going. Brooks seems okay with Bryden taking himself out of the competition. Chris gets the second private meeting with her and after a quick joke about being in the friend zone, she kisses him. Plus 3. Lots of kissing. Lots and lots of kissing. Bryden finally gets his moment with Desiree and talks about a million miles an hour. He thinks they’re behind where he wants to be and wonders if she sees any potential in the two of them. She tells him to focus on what he knows and not what he may perceive, which is apparently that Des isn’t that into him. Bryden still isn’t sure what he’ll do. He doesn’t have much longer to debate, however, because it’s time for another rose ceremony. Joining James and Zak W. and living to see another date are: Chris Brooks Juan Pablo Drew Michael Ben Kasey Bryden Mikey T. It’s the end of the journey for Zack. But hey, he can add “Competitor in Mr. America pageant” to his resume, so there’s that. EPISODE TOTAL: +60 SEASON TOTAL: +207
