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 [...]

Change we can barf about
I doesn’t take the political machines long to pick up on and start using key words to try to sell us dummies in the electorate on their bulls**t. Yesterday a interesting piece of mail made its way to the Byrd’s nest promoting this http://changealbanynow.com…as much as I think the great Alb of Ny needs change, [...]

Buffalo News: Kadet for comptroller
When I finally got a chance to read the Buffalo News today, I was surprised to see that they endorsed Phil Kadet over Mark Poloncarz for Erie County Comptroller.

Politics and the Buffalo Zoo…
Asses and Elephants were on hand today at the Zoo strutting their stuff! Both seemed well behaved…a nice contrast to what we usually see when they get together or run solo.

The good FAILship lollipop
Earlier today I read a post by Buffalo Pundit taking Chris Collins to task for his managerial ways. I responded there with this: We have a Dem controlled county legislature that virtually opposes anything he tries to do…not because they think he is wrong…but because they want the office of CE back under Dem control [...]

Pelosi tortured
Having solid intelligent conversation and debate over what constitutes torture and how people in the custody of any entity of the United States are treated is one thing, but as is the usual with our wonderful leaders in Washington, the debate isn’t really about torture…it turns into what is politically expedient for either the Democrats [...]

Buffalo Employment Protection Act
Sometimes I think there is no hope for our crazy little city by the lake…then there comes something from city hall that reminds me there is hope. From the Buffalo News… Claiming City Hall has become a thinly disguised political campaign headquarters for some factions, four Common Council members will unveil new legislation this week [...]

Thinking ahead to the primaries in 2012…
…I hope the primary season lasts about 1 month at max…either have a one day national primary or do what I read somewhere…have three primary dates…one for the Eastern States, one for the Central States and one for the Western States…my guess is that it will never happen…

Primarily Challenged
Remember this group? http://www.primarychallenge.org/ – – – – – – – They have faded into the background since their splash on the local political seen in 2005. The group is still active, but not really in the public’s eye anymore. If you recall, Primary Challenge (PC) had a whole stable of candidates for a variety of [...]

A field of PRESIDENTIAL dreams in Iowa today
If you caucus, they will come…sorry couldn’t help myself. The best breakdown of how the Iowa caucuses work comes from The Carpetbagger Report. From the post… With caucus day now upon us, and apologizing in advance for the length of these posts, I want to do three things: (1) provide a little explanation of what [...]
