New York State Senate fact of the day: senators are assigned their own high-backed leather chair when elected and can buy them when they leave office for just $25 -- even if they resign before pleading guilty to corruption charges. That said, would you really want to sit in the Carl Kruger's chair? (Also: +1 to Jimmy Vielkind for that headline.) [TU CapCon]

I would totally sit in Carl Kruger's chair. I'm a cheap engineer sitting in a 30 year old broken chair in my cubicle working for the state. Maybe I could order a new chair ( i have never even asked), but don't want to be the princess with the only new chair on the entire floor.
