“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. You somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary," said Jobs to the students at Stanford University

An Indy Party Fairy Tale at the Haggerty Trial Yesterday
Indy Party Vice Chair: Haggerty Chiseled Us Too (NYDN) * Connolly said he trusted Haggerty when he said the $1.1 million contributed to the Indy Party by the mayor and then given to the GOP consultant would actually be used for a ballot security operation.* Independence big $laps Haggerty (NYP) Manhattan prosecutors have frozen his party’s funds, but state Independence Party big Thomas Connolly still toed the DA’s line yesterday, telling jurors he would never have forwarded any of the mayor’s $1.1 million campaign donation to John Haggerty if he’d known the accused thieving consultant would use it to buy a house. Independence Party Vice Chairman Tom Connolly admitted he backdated a contract between the Indys and consultant John Haggerty to provide ballot security in 2009 using $1.1 million worth of Bloomberg’s cash.
Connelly just wrote these checks to Haggerty all by himself and didn't get the approval of party chairman Frank Mackay......give me a break.....and Sheeky didn't tell him that the money was for Haggerty.......give me a double break.....and the rules about housekeeping miney not being for candidates are confusing.......give me a triple break...they all are in this together and Mackay is hiding under his wife's skirt. Prosecutors have successfully sued the Independence Party to freeze the unspent portion of Bloomberg’s donation, arguing that the party knew or should have known about Haggerty’s scam.
