Tickling kingpin Eric Massa is jobless, although he’s still affecting Democratic politics.  How should we remember the Southern Tier’s former federal conduit as he prematurely transitions back to private life?  The answer is “As a left-wing fanatic who also turned out to be a lowlife perv,”...

It’s nice to agree with your congressperson every so often.  Concurring with one’s representative makes one feel, well, represented.  That’s true even if accord happens for some as rarely as seemingly every area of the country except Buffalo gets walloped with Christmas-week snow.  Anything...

The best summary of the social disease factory called the Woodstock Festival was offered by The Who.  The unenthusiastic participants’ perfectly crude, decidedly and awesomely not safe for work reaction both during and after the squalid affair effectively summarizes the faux idyllic colossal mud bath. ...

This Sunday, I wlll be on “Hardline with Kevin Hardwick” on WBEN NewsRadio 930 from 10:30-11am. I will be in-studio discussing national, state and local election results. Buffalo Pundit was also invited but will be calling in. UPDATE, 11/9/08, 13:37 PM: Well, I am back home from WBEN’s...

With the election over, I thought I give my post-election thoughts on some local races I covered. NY-26: Chris Lee It was a good night for the voters of the 26th district. They saw through Alice Kryzan’s smear campaign and elected Chris Lee to represent them in Congress. The choice was clear: Send...

Got this email today from Chris Lee to his supporters: Dear Friend,  I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all you have done to support this campaign. Whether it was putting up a lawn sign, going door-to-door, participating in phone banks, coming out to our rallies, or investing in the...

in an otherwise sad election, it does give me great pleasure to see Chris Lee elected to Congress. Alice Kryzan’s smears didn’t work, and the voters of the 26th District have chosen someone who will look out for their best interests. I also feel honored to have been a part of the fight to...

WNYMedia is accusing the Chris Lee campaign of  “littering the district with illegal and grossly misleading flyers about Alice Kryzan.” I have contacted the Lee campaign, and have been told they “had no involvement in the flyers.”

I voted this morning before heading into work. There was no line at the time. They didn’t ask for my ID. I asked if they wanted to see it. They said no. I was very annoyed. Is it so hard to make sure someene is who they say they are? UPDATE: Heard the 11th hour DCCC radio ad smearing Chris Lee...

Official Buffalo Bean 2008 Prediction I should make a few points to explain certain selections: Nevada: I originally did not have Nevada to go for McCain, but my co-author Mark Noonan (who lives in the state) is confident it will. I will trust his opinion on that Colorado: I think there is a chance...

Chris Lee and Alice Kryzan are debating on WBEN right now. It seems to me that Alice only knows how to blame the Bush Administration for all the problems the country is dealing with now, but doesn’t have a single solution.  Listening to Alice talk she truly earns the nickname “Alice In Liberaland.”...

A new Siena poll shows some interesting shifts in some State Senate races. First, in the 58th Senate District Bill Stachowski has retaken the lead over Dennis Delano. Stachowski now has a 47-43 percent lead over Delano, after trailing 49-36 percent in the previous Siena poll in this district where Democrats...

For a while now I’ve heard rumors about Alice Kryzan’s legal career… Apparently she worked at quite a few law firms: Phillips Lytle, LLC Whiteman Osterman & Hanna Kryzan & Kolaga Buchanan-Ingersoll Harris Beach & Wilcox That is a lot firms to have worked over 26 years.....

I’ve just learned that Jon Powers will indeed remain on the WFP line on the ballot on Tuesday. A federal court ruled moments ago… This reverses the decision earlier today that gave Kryzan the WFP line…
