HACKENSACK — Two items presumed stolen from the USS Ling submarine almost 30 years ago have been returned to the New Jersey Naval Museum after turning up on eBay for five days.  A brass wheel and an aluminum compartment checkoff list, both missing from the Ling since the early 1980s, were returned to the museum by the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office on Monday. The relics were presented during a special ceremony with more than two dozen members of the United States Submarine Veterans of World War II. The Ling was a 1940s-era Balao-class submarine. "I never thought I'd have an...

When Carly Fiorina launched her campaign for U.S. Senate late last year, she wanted little to do with Sarah Palin. "I've never met her," Fiorina replied when asked about the former Alaska governor's leadership skills. "Next question." And Meg Whitman, the front-running GOP candidate for California governor, probably wasn't planning to ask Dick Cheney or Newt Gingrich to endorse her when she launched her ubiquitous ad campaign last fall. But as the races for governor and senator go down to the wire before the June 8 primary, big name Republicans are jumping into the fray with endorsements — 11th-hour nods...

Posted by her Republican opponent for nomination to the GOP ticket for the governorship of California, Steve Poizner, a political advertisement notes fellow Republican Meg Whitman's efforts to rid Ebay of gun sales and paintings billed as genuine works by famous artists. However, notes the ad, she created a separate division that sells only pornography. The ad also notes the millionaire's involvement in the disgraced Goldman Sachs trading company and concludes "Meg Whitman: Bad judgement. Wrong Values." Polls show that Whitman currently enjoys at 49 to 32 percent approval rating over Poizner. She recently garnered an endorsement from former Vice...

Tallahassee, Florida — The Florida GOP says they're planning to dump a portrait of the formerly Republican Governor Charlie Crist on eBay. But the one that went up for sale on April 30 isn't theirs. The Florida GOP cut ties with Crist last week after he announced he's going to run for Senate as an independent. They're removed his signature from their letterhead. And they announced they'll be selling a $7500 portrait of him on eBay.

It's one thing to call a guy the new Benedict Arnold. But things are really crossing the line when you try to sell them on eBay. The state Republican Party, clearly still upset at Gov. Charlie Crist about the whole independent thinking decision, is reportedly ready to auction off anything related to Crist found in the state headquarters. That includes a handsome oil painting of the once beloved governor that once greeted visitors when they walked in the door. The $7,500 portrait was paid for by party money and since Crist is a Republican no more, they figured they might...
