    What is a good hotel near the sites in Washington DC?
    Question:
    I will be visiting Washington DC over Christmas (28th-30th) and want to see some of the major sites like the White House, Capitol Hill, Vietnam War Memorial, etc. Does anyone know of a good hotel that is central with parking. We're looking to pay up to $170 a night. Any advice on what to see over the 2 days i'll be there would be great.

    Answer:
    Christmas in Washington is really the best. I suggest staying in Old Town Alexandria. Old Town is a 5 minute cab ride from DCA and the hotels are right across the street from the King Street Metro. The rates during that time may be less than your budget too! I always recommend Tripadvisor.com and search on the Alexandria Forum and hotels for specifics. My family always stays at the Residence Inn on Duke Street. The hotel has parking, breakfast and snacks and is two blocks to Metro. If you can splurge and the price is right. I recommend the Hotel Monaco at 400 King Street, its a cool boutique hotel 4 blocks from the waterfront. During that time, our streets are festive with decorations, the restaurants are not so crowded and the shopping is great! Old Town is the best place to spring from to sightsee and the best place to decompress after walking all day. Since you are planning now. Suggest you contact your local representative in Congress to obtain passes to tour the White House NOW! It will be busy for the holiday and it's gorgeous when decorated. Be certain too to see the Pagent of Peace in front of the White House. There are free concerts at night and the famous Yule Log. We always cap off the night by going to the Hay Adams for hot chocolate with a little something extra ...wink wink! Go ice skating at Liberty Park across the street from the WH. Definitely your time is limited, so suggest getting the Tourmobile for one day to see EVERYTHING. Especially Arlington Cemetery during Xmas is particularly touching. Then slip into the museums to warm up between your sites! Hope this is helpful.

    Crack Squirrels...Myth or Fact???
    Question:
    I saw an article in a british newspaper about how squirrels are getting crack that was hidden inside nuts in people's yards (the article says the crack heads hid them there to keep anyone from finding them). The article says that this is a common problem in the New York's Central Park, Washington DC parks, etc. It also says the squirrels are getting more aggressive as the look for their next fix. What do YOU think? Myth or fact? Here's the website for the newspaper article: http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2005460823,00.html

    Answer:
    I think that's a myth, but it sure was funny to read. Oh no your right. There is a crack head squirrel coming for me now!!! Aaahhhh God Help Me !!!!! I don't have any crack please leave me alone!!!!! Aaahhhh

    Where Shall I live in Albany, NY??
    Question:
    Hello World, I’ll be moving to Albany, NY in a few weeks and am completely lost as to where to live. I live on the west coast now and have never been to Albany. I won’t even get the chance to check it out before I move. I pretty much have to pack my things and move out there. I’ve done a lot of research and found a general area which I think is suitable (Central Square, Washington Park, Lark St, Madison St…Area) but thought I would ask and hopefully someone out there can help me pin point a specific location. I’m right out of college and would love to be in the city more than in the suburb/family area. But I didn’t know how safe downtown Albany is to live. Where is the safest place for a young lady to live? I found a few apartments near Washington Park on State Street & Madison St. From what I’ve researched it sounds amazing there. I’m confused because I have found the same apartment amenities (1bd 1bath parking..etc) on the same street but completely different monthly rent amount. (From 600 to 1200!!) I was wondering if there is a safer part of Washington park, like is the north side better than the south? Why are the rents so different? What streets would be ideal for a post-college lady starting her career to live? I’m sorry for all the questions but I’m really confused :( Please help me pick the ideal living location. Thank you soooo much!!

    Answer:
    The (ABSOLUTE) BEST Place in Albany to Live For "Your Needs" Would Probably Be DOWNTOWN !

    Can you suggest a grassy area in Center City Philadelphia to let dogs out to relieve themselves?
    Question:
    We are visiting the Liberty Bell/Independence Mall area and leaving our 4 dogs in the car. The weather should not be extreme so they will be quite comfortable in the car. We'd like to have a central area to park and every two hours or so go and let them out to relieve themselves. For example, would we look out of place using Washington Square (6th & Walnut)? If there is a better place, that's a bit farther away, that would be ok too. Thanks for any insights.

    Answer:
    There is a small park very near the Independence Mall that you can walk your dogs to relieve themselves. Just remember to clean up after your pets is all.

    What Made Norman Hsu Run, and Where Did the Money Come From?
    Question:
    I’ve been doing a bit of online reading this afternoon and found a few articles that are fascinating. Both of them deal with Norman Hsu, a known political financial contributor. What Made Norman Hsu Run? He charmed friends, investors and politicians. But behind lurked failures, a kidnapping and lawsuits By IANTHE JEANNE DUGAN in New York, JONATHAN CHENG in Hong Kong and BRODY MULLINS in Washington September 8, 2007; Page A1 At a New York restaurant overlooking Central Park in April 2006, the governor of Pennsylvania sat down to dinner with about a dozen Democratic supporters. The 10-course meal in a private room at Per Se, including dishes like Nova Scotia Lobster Tail "Cuite Sous Vide," cost about $18,000, says a diner who was there. The host, Norman Hsu, was a businessman that the crowd admired but knew little about. In the past few weeks, much more has become known about Mr. Hsu: That he had filed for bankruptcy twice, including a time in 1990 when he said he had no income, no job, and little more than a Toyota 4-Runner and a jade ring. And that he was wanted by California authorities for grand theft charges to which he had pleaded no contest in 1992, then fled before facing sentencing. Mr. Hsu turned himself in on that matter a week ago, after news coverage of his past -- which began with a Wall Street Journal article about his unusual campaign giving -- had brought the conviction to light and led politicians to hand over some of his campaign donations to charity. Mr. Hsu posted a $2 million bond -- and then he vanished again. On Wednesday, when he was supposed to appear in court in California, he instead boarded Amtrak's eastbound California Zephyr near Oakland. Along the trip he fell, was taken to a hospital in Grand Junction, Colo., and arrested. On Friday, authorities were taking steps to send him to California. Mr. Hsu's lawyer issued a brief statement Friday afternoon saying that "the strain [Mr. Hsu] has been under during the last week has been enormous and, perhaps, unbearable. We will be getting him the best medical care available." As for the charges Mr. Hsu left behind, the lawyer, James Brosnahan, said: "The legal matter pending in San Mateo Superior Court will be handled in its proper course." Much about Mr. Hsu remains a mystery, most notably the source of the money for the donations that made him a favorite in Democratic circles. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB118920845515221199.html?mod=hpp _us_pageone Suspect Donations By Brody Mullins Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL 09/08/07 Donations from Norman Hsu and other Democratic campaign contributors whose pattern of donations correlates with his. http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/info-Hsu Donations0709-sort.html?s=0&ps=false&a=up If you read the first link, it brings up many questions. For instance, considering this man’s background, where did the money come from to make these huge donations? Any clues? Does anyone out there have any more information about this person?

    Answer:
    1. Fear of the Clintons. People who are mixed up in their dirty dealings and run the risk of dragging them into it often wind up on ice down in the county freezer. 2. China, most likely. Very, very illegal. Get the picture?

    What is the average price of food in New York City?
    Question:
    I am bringing two children 8 and 5 and I am only working with minimal funds. Does anyone know of any cheap places that have good food to eat in the city. Also if you could give me some cool ideas of where to go in New York that would be fun for the kids and me. We are going to see the Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero, Central Park, Ellis Island, George Washington Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge and Time Square, but what else can we do. I know New York is loaded with cool stuff, but I have never been. Thanks a bunch :)

    Answer:
    If you can handle fast food they have tons of it in NYC. McDonald's is probably the most popular restaurant among New Yorkers. However value meals are about $2 higher than in most cities. Skip the hot dog carts for the Papaya chains. They also sell pizza by the slices all over town for about $3-$4 a pop. The lower level of Grand Central has a food court with lots of good values. Some of New York's best food buys are found just west of Times Square in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood. Good meals in New York just run the gamete from $4-$400. The Staten Island Ferry is free and the Roosevelt Island Tram takes only $2.00 per ride and you can also ride it with unlimited ride metrocards.

    By BRETT J. BLACKLEDGE, ADAM GOLDMAN and MATT APUZZO, Associated Press Writers Brett J. Blackledge, Adam Goldman And Matt Apuzzo, Associated Press Writers 18 mins ago ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Gov. Sarah Palin charged the state for her children to travel with her, including to events where they were not invited, and later amended expense reports to specify that they were on official business. The charges included costs for hotel and commercial flights for three daughters to join Palin to watch their father in a snowmobile race, and a trip to New York, where the governor attended a five-hour conference and stayed with 17-year-old Bristol for five days and four nights in a luxury hotel. In all, Palin has charged the state $21,012 for her three daughters' 64 one-way and 12 round-trip commercial flights since she took office in December 2006. In some other cases, she has charged the state for hotel rooms for the girls. Alaska law does not specifically address expenses for a governor's children. The law allows for payment of expenses for anyone conducting official state business. As governor, Palin justified having the state pay for the travel of her daughters — Bristol, 17; Willow, 14; and Piper, 7 — by noting on travel forms that the girls had been invited to attend or participate in events on the governor's schedule. But some organizers of these events said they were surprised when the Palin children showed up uninvited, or said they agreed to a request by the governor to allow the children to attend. Several other organizers said the children merely accompanied their mother and did not participate. The trips enabled Palin, whose main state office is in the capital of Juneau, to spend more time with her children. "She said any event she can take her kids to is an event she tries to attend," said Jennifer McCarthy, who helped organize the June 2007 Family Day Celebration picnic in Ketchikan that Piper attended with her parents. State Finance Director Kim Garnero told The Associated Press she has not reviewed the Palins' travel expense forms, so she could not say whether the daughters' travel with their mother would meet the definition of official business. On Aug. 6, three weeks before Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain chose Palin his running mate, and after Alaska reporters asked for the records, Palin ordered changes to previously filed expense reports for her daughters' travel. In the amended reports, Palin added phrases such as "First Family attending" and "First Family invited" to explain the girls' attendance. "The governor said, 'I want the purpose and the reason for this travel to be clear,'" said Linda Perez, state director of administrative services. When Palin released her family's tax records as part of her vice presidential campaign, some tax experts questioned why she did not report the children's state travel reimbursements as income. The Palins released a review by a Washington attorney who said state law allows the children's travel expenses to be reimbursed and not taxed when they conduct official state business. Taylor Griffin, a McCain-Palin campaign spokesman, said Palin followed state policy allowing governors to charge for their children's travel. He said the governor's office has invitations requesting the family to attend some events, but he said he did not have them to provide. In October 2007, Palin brought daughter Bristol along on a trip to New York for a women's leadership conference. Plane tickets from Anchorage to La Guardia Airport for $1,385.11 were billed to the state, records show, and mother and daughter shared a room for four nights at the $707.29-per-night Essex House hotel, which overlooks Central Park. The event's organizers said Palin asked if she could bring her daughter. Alexis Gelber, who organized Newsweek's Third Annual Women & Leadership Conference, said she does not know how Bristol ended up attending. Gelber said invitees usually attend alone, but some ask if they can bring a relative or friend. Griffin, the campaign spokesman, said he believes someone with the event personally sent an e-mail to Bristol inviting her, but he did not have it to provide. Records show Palin also met with Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Goldman Sachs representatives and visited the New York Stock Exchange. In January, the governor, Willow and Piper showed up at the Alaska Symphony of Seafood Buffet, an Anchorage gala to announce winners of an earlier seafood competition. "She was just there," said James Browning, executive director of Alaska Fisheries Development Foundation, which runs the event. Griffin said the governor's office received an invitation that was not specifically addressed to anyone. When Palin amended her children's expense reports, she listed a role for the two girls at the function — "to draw two separate raffle tickets." In the original travel form, Palin listed a number of events that

    I don't live in Alaska, so you are wrong I did not pay for anything. If the citizens of Alaska disapprove, I am sure they will let her know.
