The Press, Obama and control
I read this very interesting assesment of Obama and the press in of all places Vanity Fair from Michael Wolf…
They have been handed a most remarkable historical moment—in which they get to remake the media in their own image. They have the power and they are the subject. These people in this White House are in greater control of the media than any administration before them.
You have to look at what is happening in the media today…the entire industry is being reshaped right before our eyes…Wolfe correctly notes that with virtually all other traditional press either failing or in limbo, the celebrity press is on the rise…makes you wonder if we are seeing the beginning of end of serious journalism in the mainstream media.
The White House definitely knows what it is doing…but thank rOD for Helen Thomas.

Old County Hall and Kevin Hardwick Part II
Disclaimer: I am working on Kevin’s campaign…
With anything I do in helping out here in WNY, I help people or causes I believe in…I help because I want see things change.
The Erie County Legislature is a mirror of the politcal dysfunction we see throughout New York…a place where politics is first and people like me are last.
I believe the good doctor will bring a no nonsense and common sense approach to legislative branch of Erie County.
The sad reality of the legislature is that the Dem majority is legislating with the intent of getting Chris Collins out of office in 2011…their decisions are based on this premise…their decisions aren’t based on what is wrong or right for Erie County, but what is politically expedient for the Dems. Where has that got us over the years?
Kevin’s proposal in the video above works towards the goal of making the legislature less political in the way it does business…we need more of that here in WNY.

Traveling Vietnam War Memorial at Knox Farm State Park
I went and visited the American Veterans Traveling Tribute at Knox Farm State Park last night.
I have seen the replica Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall before when it has passed through WNY…it is a unique experience…the setting at Knox Farm for it was perfect…it is tough to describe the feelings as you look at the wall…there is such a sense of the gravity of the Vietnam War…just being there and remembering/honoring the lost souls is very emotional. It is important that we never forget those who gave their lives for our country…their deaths symbolize everything that is wrong and right about America…their sacrifice, their family’s sacrifice and pain is something profound that we as a nation share.
Knox Farm…it was my first time there…if you have never been, put it on your hit list of WNY places you should check out…amazing place.

Two for McAdoo
Cool video of the Aud and the Buffalo Braves…
With the Aud disappearing right before our eyes, I can’t help but to search for Aud gems on the intertubes.
I am not a big NBA fan, but if we still had a team, I have no doubt I would be.
Wouldn’t it be cool if we could get the Braves…I mean…the Clippers to play a couple of games a year in da B-lo wearing Buffalo Braves garb?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Michael Jackson…
I was out and about when my son called to say that he heard Michael Jackson was dead…very hard to believe at first and even now…he was always larger than life and in death will probably be as well.
Get set for the MSM (mainstream media) onslaught…it has already started.
His bizarre transformation over the last twenty years is is at the forefront of what I remember of him.
Michael Jackson is an iconic American figure…up there with Elvis and Sinatra.
His death is something one never never expects.
