Government Sen. Schumer‘s ’Three Branches’ of Government No Longer Includes Judiciary

While sitting in on CNN’s “State of the Union” this morning, New York’s Senator Chuck Schumer was ringing alarm bells on what he perceives as a GOP threat to shut down the government this Spring during the upcoming Debt Ceiling debate and the Congressional battle over various elements of government funding. This tactic was nothing new as both sides traditionally use extreme examples to make their point. What surprised me was Sen. Schumer’s explanation of the three branches of our American system of government.

As I have always understood it, and as outlined in the Constitution, we have a brilliantly balanced government that provides checks and balances between the three branches; Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. It is a very simple concept graphically displayed here from the website USA for Kids (a site managed by the U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong).

Dickey, Mets agree on two-year deal

The Mets avoided arbitration with knuckleballer R.A. Dickey by agreeing to terms on a two-year deal with a club option for a third year, according to a baseball source.

The agreement is pending a physical, which is expected to take place Monday in New York, according to Martino. The Mets have not confirmed the deal.

Dickey, 36, was a pleasant surprise with the Mets last season, going 11-9 with a 2.84 ERA in 26 starts and one relief appearance after being called up from Triple-A Buffalo to start on May 19. He also struck out 104 and walked 42 in 174 1/3 innings. He posted career bests in wins, starts, ERA, innings, strikeouts, complete games (two) and opponents' batting average (.251).
