Empire State Gamed
Up yours, Schenectady.  You’re being taken to school, Cortland.  And say our name, Yonkers.  The Empire State Games finished Sunday, and I’m proud to report that the Western region either topped the medal count or at least finished in like...

NY-27: Roberto Calls Higgins Bass Pro Deadline Disingenuous
Brian Higgins recent posturing over the Bass Pro deadline might have been good political theater, but his Republican opponent is not letting him get away with it. In a recent press release Lenny Roberto called Higgins’ deadline disingenuous. Roberto...

Rangel Will Face Trial
It is so nice to write those words. A Democrat being held accountable for his illegal and/or unethical behavior just seems to be such a rare thing thing in recent years. Rep. Charles Rangel was slapped yesterday with charges of serious ethics violations...

A-144: A Chance To Oust Sam Hoyt?
Sam Hoyt has survived a pretty nasty election year scandal, so clearly, party loyalty makes his job quite safe. But this year’s election is shaping out to at least be interesting enough that Hoyt might have some vulnerability. For one thing,...

I’m Mad as Hell too, Carl…
But I am not going to vote for you. No offense, but I can’t join my fellow Western New York Republicans and conservatives in supporting your gubernatorial bid. Perhaps I’d feel differently if you had a chance of winning. But let’s face...

I Don’t Think He Knows What “Victim” Means
I must offer apologies to Muzzammil Hassan.  Who knew that the man who allegedly cut off his wife’s head in a Muslim honor killing was a victim?  I never would have savaged him had I known; my guilt serves as punishment for my closed-mindedness. But...

Not Paying, Still Taxing...

Not Paying, Still Taxing
One of the pleasant things about the Sunday Buffalo News is perusing everything other than the news part.  Actually, that should read “the only pleasant thing.”  I’ve always maintained that the useless rag’s executives should offer to deliver...

recent from Federal Government Disclosed for Business Disclosed for Business
The internet works perfectly fine without regulation.  Naturally, Chuck Schumer wants to ruin it.  To him, nothing works without him.  In turn, he’s out to hassle bloggers along with ad time buyers.  He can’t be endorsing his recent pet bill just to get on television, although sure he could.

recent from Interviews The Buffalo Bean Interviews Rick Lazio The Buffalo Bean Interviews Rick Lazio
I had the opportunity to sit down with Rick Lazio while he was in town yesterday. I’d never met him before. I wasn’t a New York resident during his unsuccessful Senate bid, so this was not only my first time meeting him, but my first real opportunity to assess him as a candidate that I might...
