Boston set an all-time snowfall record and flirted with another mark: most snark in a single winter. The latest storm in an epic winter edged the total just over the 9-foot mark. Sunday's storm dropped 2.9 inches at Logan International Airport, pushing the seasonal accumulation to 108.6 inches and surpassing the previous record of 107.6 set in 1995-96. Forecasters said Monday the city could get more later in the week — a bleak outlook for Bostonians who've had more than enough.

Speaking to the Brooklyn South Conservative Club last night, Mr. Donovan promised he would not be like other politicians if elected to represent all of Staten Island and southern Brooklyn. “I think people go down there, they get Washington-ized, they forget that three-quarters of a million people sent them down there to represent them. That’s why they call it the House of Representatives: you are a representative of the people in your community and I will make you proud,” he said. “I will never embarrass you. I’ve run four times, I’ve been vetted up and down, there’s nothing in my background that’s going to embarrass you. And I am too old to know how to put a naked photograph of myself on the Internet.”

Only 13 of the people are still getting Social Security benefits, the report said. But for others, their Social Security numbers are still active, so a number could be used to report wages, open bank accounts, obtain credit cards or claim fraudulent tax refunds. "That is a real problem," said Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis. "When you have a fake Social Security number, that's what allows you to fraudulently do all kinds things, claim things like the earned income tax credit or other tax benefits."

Our government's deliberative and premeditated killings – and the many more civilian deaths from the strikes—raise profound legal and ethical questions that ought to be the subject of public debate. The Obama administration has made numerous promises of greater transparency and oversight on drones. In his 2013 State of the Union address, President Obama pledged to make lethal targeting "more transparent to the American people and the world" because "in our democracy, no one should just take my word for it that we're doing things the right way." But the administration has failed to follow through on these commitments to openness, and it is continuing to withhold basic information.
