woman living with them who turned out to be a bag lady they brought up in suburban 1960s northern westchester for cover. our kindergarten teachers in the town i grew up on the hudson turn out to be gay. since they retired they ran up their rainbow jolly roger flag and nobody seemed to care. gay adoption, gay parenting, i don't think the research is in firm enough yet. that's not to say that i think kids should spend time in foster care or go without parenting. but the point -- i think michael should read the section closer. my opinion is the research is not as complete it's needs to be and the stories that have one written about gay parenting and gay adoption are just doggerral, the two magazine stories in particular that were almost impossible to get through, and i think reflected the confusion that the issue generates itself. so, anyway, that's what i have to say for now. >> are we trying to finish this whole event by 8:00? okay. i should answer your question first. actually, they didn't review my first book. so there's exhibit a out the window. >> called for keller -- >> i did do that. yea

this is westchester.'re saying these particular prosecutors are very savvy about cyber bullying? >> absolutely. it's one of the best units in the country. >> this list seems to include students from a number of schools. does this maybe perhaps indicate it was not just one person but perhaps more than one person? >> well, it starts with one and everybody joins in. that's the problem. p bystanders are now called active bystanders. they become cyber bullies by adding new names. more names were put on the facebook page than were on bbm. >> what do you think would be the right punishment given that you are a victim in this and your sister as well? >> i'm not sure what would be the right punishment. i hope they get the worst. because there are a lot of girls going through it now and they are still in school. it's worse when you have to be in school with them. it's like coming home and you have to deal with it. i think they should be punished to a certain level. i saw online people committing suicide for being c

from cbs-2 in jork jay dell is live at the scene near the bronx/westchester border.ing to you, betty. the new york city fire department tells us this bus crashed just before 6:00 a.m. in the southbound lanes of i-95. appears to be a one-vehicle accident. as you say, at least 13 fatalities. and several other passengers who were injured. when we pulled up on the scene there were several dozen fire trucks that were already here. we spoke to a chief who tells us that his teams at that moment were still trying to pull people out of the bus. everyone has been rescued from the bus as far as we can tell. traffic still closed in the southbound lanes of i-95. the investigation continues into exactly what happened. back to you. >> all right, jay, thank you for that. >>> in other news, president obama says the u.s. and its allies are quote, tightening the noose on libyan leader moammar gadhafi. mr. obama is not ruling out possible military action against gadhafi and that includes establishing a no-fly zone. arab leaders are meeting in egypt to discuss what to do about gadhafi wh

host: michael is in westchester county, new york. you and the tea party and of right wing conservatives are a bunch of wackos. take the last year's budget, run it through october 1. take citizens united and to start a public funding system so that everyone can get elected. you are going to send this country back into bankruptcy. host: did you get tea party support? guest: in oklahoma, there was a function key party, but they focused on issues. there were no tea party candidates. host: did you get support from those who were in favor of the two-party movement? guest: sure. but like i said, there was no endorsement, so i cannot tell you how they voted in the end. host: are you going to join the team party? guest: no, that is not something i want to do. host: david in smithfield, georgia. caller: i keep on hearing about tightening the belt, but nobody talks about the companies in america tightening their belts. if we went back to a flat tax, no tax break, no tax shelters, everyone pays 10%, that would help our economy, the american fami

otherwise i am from westchester which is outside the borough to prove they're not from the five boroughs because what would they want to be which means they could afford to live in manhattan. so you are from iowa. i leave in the morning. i live in ottawa. there's something to that culture about how you are naturally place that i think makes you a very worthwhile first choice although i will continue the conversation to your question. twitter, facebook, bloggers, video. turnaround at the cameras. mentioned twitter today and personal doing your own radio show. the only way to move a message in this world is to move the message. there's nothing else -- you no longer have the luxury of excuse. if you can say to me you are not capable the younger generation will say why should i bother and you get four more years of obama. the days of not being able to move a messaging utilize technology are over. grandparents need to say how to use facebook and they will look at you like you are crazy and ask what are you going to be on facebook and you are going to say to them because i have to move the mes

i visit the food banks in westchester county, n.y., and the numbers have just increased dramatically, not just the people who are out of work, but people who have low-paying jobs and cannot afford to feed their family. that is why i and working so hard in the congress to focus on jobs, jobs, jobs. to me, this is what our primary responsibility is it. when the unemployment rate keeps climbing, we have to focus on jobs. i agree with you that putting people to work is uppermost and is why i support the programs of the small business administration. in my community, i have seen jobs in the biotech field, going from 400 to about 1600. another company that installs solar panels went to half a dozen people to over 100 people because of support from some of the small business administration programs. so, we have to focus like a laser beam on creating jobs. again, we do not live in isolation. what happens overseas affects us. china, for example, is taking our jobs, is frankly exporting more than we are exporting. this affects us. i mentioned the avian flu. people fly. they travel around the wo
