Huffington Post: Staten Island Borough President Urges Residents Not To Donate To Red Cross After Sandy Debacle

Posted: 02 Nov 2012 10:48 AM PDT

Staten Island officials are infuriated with what they see as a measly relief response after their borough was hit hard by Hurricane Sandy, and some are going so far as to call on residents to hold back donations to the American Red Cross.

During a press conference on Thursday, Borough President James Molinaro slammed the organization for not bringing enough supplies to the devastated area, where Sandy has claimed 19 lives, hundreds of homes and blocked dozens of streets, according to NBC.

"All these people making these big salaries should be out there on the front line, and I am disappointed," Molinaro said at the press conference, according to the news outlet. "And my advice to the people of Staten Island is: Do not donate to the American Red Cross. Let them get their money elsewhere.'"

Huffington Post: Zohar Arzi, Cab Driver, Heroically Reduces Taxi Fare Post-Hurricane Sandy

Posted: 02 Nov 2012 10:51 AM PDT

With stories of Hurricane Sandy scam artists popping up out of the woodwork, it's always nice to hear that there are some good people out there helping each other out.

Dr. Sujatha Balija, a London doctor, had come to the U.S. for the annual American Society for Clinical Pathology in Boston, the Boston Globe reports. But after taking a short trip to the Philadelphia area, Balija found herself stranded about 575 miles from from Boston when Hurricane Sandy hit. With trains, planes and buses not running, Balija had few choices on how to get to the Wednesday conference.

"I had no other options," she told the Globe, "So I booked a taxi."

Huffington Post: Ohio Republican Mailer Features Chinese Food Containers, Chopsticks To Tar Democrat

Posted: 02 Nov 2012 10:52 AM PDT

WASHINGTON -- Anti-China sentiment can be politically persuasive in the Midwest, which is still stinging from years of manufacturing jobs being outsourced. It's why President Barack Obama's super PAC spent the summer focusing on Mitt Romney's tenure at Bain Capital, accusing him specifically of being a pioneer in the field of outsourcing. It's why the Obama campaign soon followed suit. And it's why the Romney campaign, in the closing weeks, has launched surreptitious ads suggesting that, under the president's watch, America's auto companies are sending production to China.

Similar accusations have been leveled in down-ballot races as well. A Democratic source passed along shots of a flier allegedly being distributed by Rep. Jim Renacci's (R-Ohio) congressional campaign attacking Rep. Betty Sutton (D-Ohio) for using "our tax dollars to create jobs in China."

The standard-issue line of attack in Ohio does not stand out quite so much as the insensitivity of its packaging. Paid for by the Ohio Republican Party, the mailer includes shots of Chinese food containers with cash, chopsticks and stereotypical Chinese-style font.
