Seriously… The convention must be one huge love fest of how the state Democrats are the ones to change things. Translation…BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. Empty rhetoric fest…

New York and its subsidiaries ain’t never gonna change
People who think we can look to the Dems or Rebubs and magically elect change for New York are sadly mistaken. Whether we are talking about political leadership in Cheektowaga or Cayuga County or Albany, the political machines rule all…their sticky fingers reach from the tip of Long Island to the Youngstown. They are FAIL [...]

Paterson = Over
You have to wonder if Gov. Paterson ever wishes that Eliot Spitzer would have never been the f’n prostitute steamroller…he could have went about with his Lieutenant Governor gig having a grand time. Well, Paterson is having a grand time and so are we with him as the Governor of the most excellent state of [...]

Uncork New York
I’ve blogged about this before when the issue was raised awhile back. Grocery stores want to be able to sell wine at their stores in New York…simple solution…give them the ability to only sell wines from the state at their establishments. This would give the supermarkets what they want and give a bump to the [...]

Paterson schtick = FAIL
I know a lot of folks out there are praising and buying Gub Paterson’s stance on reforming New York govment and taking a hard line against Albany status quo, but… This guy has been part of the good fail ship Albany for far too long to take him seriously. It is a SCHTICK… Let’s see…the [...]

Ya know…

Come on…we live in a world with all kinds people…being gay and loving someone of the same sex isn’t a bad thing…being gay isn’t a bad thing…people who love each other should be allowed to get married regardless if they are the same sex or not. What are a lot of people scared of by [...]

And this surprises who?
(Harry Scull Jr. / Buffalo News with slight mod by me) A story headline from today’s Buffalo News…Surcharge for public safety goes elsewhere From the story: “Basically, they’re using that money as general revenue,” said Genesee County Sheriff Gary T. Maha, whose office oversees 911 operations. “We have not seen any of that money.” Though aggravating, [...]

State of Confusion
Dedicated to the joyous wonders of New York State…I am throroughly convinced that I will leave the planet long before any reasonable and dramatic reform comes to Albany. (The Kinks…very cool band)

Albany…
…is anyone really surprised by the dysfunction we have seen there over the last week??? The state needs to be reorganized from the top down…that ain’t gonna happen. So here all of us sit in the midst of all this crazy political mess with no option but going along for the ride o’fail.

Downsized…
I really liked what Buffalo Pundit wrote this morning about the downsizing issue and its approval in Evans and West Seneca. From him… So, the significance of this to Evans and West Seneca in particular is somewhat beside the point for me. The significance here is that the voters were able to decide, and decided against the status [...]

B. Tommy G. says adios to New York
Besides his recent Irresponsible New York love affair with Steve Pigeon, I’ve respected how B. Thomas Golisano has helped shed light on the myriad of problems which plague New York and how it is run while also sharing ideas on how to do things differently. A few days ago he announced he was officially becoming a [...]

Outraged…me too
From Albany’s Insanity… I will ask again… Are we outraged yet? While we have no choice but to pinch pennies, raises are held out from workers, taxes and fees are going up in over 100 different places and we are staring at 15 Billion in debt, the hypocrite governor hands out pay raises like we [...]
