Politics and other nightmares

The therapy defense

Oh, please:

Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer has gone into therapy in the wake of the hooker scandal that swept him out of office, a Spitzer insider told The Post yesterday.

As part of the therapy, Spitzer will explore whether he has an addiction to sex, the source said.

Right idea, wrong reason

I wonder what Birch Bayh, who has been trying to eliminate the Electoral College for decades, will think of his son's sudden affection for the institution?

A bold approach

A suggestion for an innovative approach to urban blight in Indianapolis:

Gas attack

Indiana, having solved all other crime problems, has let its attorney general, Steve Carter, assume the duties of gasoline czar. If you think you are being overcharged for gas, just turn the dealer in. Not everyone is impressed:

Rock on

A good offense

Another language pet peeve:

The Clintons are barnstorming Indiana, with six stops today and Thursday in a push to win this state's May 6 primary election.

Batter up!

I hate to tell you this, but I'm in the first group:

The Internal Revenue Service outlined Monday how your Social Security number will determine when you probably will get your economic stimulus check this spring or summer.

The IRS said it plans to deliver 130 million checks between May 2 and July 11 based on the last two digits of the recipient's Social Security number.

For the children

It's silly season in Carmel:

The Carmel City Council considers a controversial resolution Monday night supporting a child-safe community standard for the city. The resolution would ask businesses to put away anything from magazine covers to lingerie out of the view of children. Proponents say it would make the city more wholesome, but critics charge it legislates morality.
