Hating That Other BP...
Never send Brian Higgins to do the free market’s job.  Bass Pro will now never officially appear in Buffalo despite, or perhaps because of, his efforts.  Why weren’t they impressed by his congressional-level pleading? With that mystery looming, he’s employing his best strategy under the circumstances,...
NY-27: Roberto Gets Tea Party Endorsemen...
Just in from the Roberto campaign yesterday… The local Tea Party movement has endorsed Leonard Roberto for U.S. Congress in the 27th District-NY. The group Tea New York, which is comprised of a coalition of Western New York tea party organizations, is opposed to higher taxes and seeks to achieve...
NY-27: Roberto Calls Higgins Bass Pro De...
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 said that “Higgins surely knows that the $35...
NY-27: Roberto Urges Against New “...
We all remember how successful Obama’s stimulus was in keep ing the unemployment rate below 8 percent right? Well, with a record of failure like that, one can’t imagine why we should spend more taxpayer dollars for another $50 billion stimulus. Well, that’s what Obama wants… Leonard...
NY-27: Roberto’s Campaign Boosted ...
With two key endorsements in the past week, Leonard Roberto’s campaign got the boost it needs to go against Brian Higgins in the 27th congressional district. Last week he was endorsed by the Erie County Conservative Party and he now has the backing of the Erie County Republican Party. Sure the...
The Most Competitive Democraties Ever...
Expanding the Best Picture Oscar field to 10 entrants may water down the field.  But some competitions feature a plethora of worthwhile candidates.  Take trying to pick the Best New York State Democrat.  The academy that’s in charge of issuing the Democraties ™ would have to permit a similarly...
Having Fun Making Fun of Artvoice...
The Artvoice Dilemma comes down to whether it’s worth pointing out any random article’s problems.  It’s usually best to avoid the chore of reading an issue, much less critiquing its contents.  But sometimes they churn out something so egregious that it deserves a shredding.  For...
Brian Higgins Talks Obamacare With Artvo...
So, I picked up a copy of Artvoice yesterday to find their cover story this week is an interview with Brian Higgins about the public option. Are we supposed to be impressed that Brian Higgins spoke about this issue with a left/wing publication that is as likely to factcheck Higgins as they are likely...
Sabres Need to Win Games, Not Votes...
Can we watch hockey without getting a political lecture?  Please?  Apparently, the answer is “Nope” regardless of how poorly the two subjects go together.  The Buffalo Sabres aired a packaged segment during the first intermission of Saturday’s game based upon the suspicious notion...
Hope for Non-NY 23 Conservatives...
Imagine if the National Republican Congressional Committee had supported Doug Hoffman from the start.  Instead of throwing money at a left-winger who remained on the ballot after she quit and repaid the organization by endorsing her erstwhile Democratic foe, Hoffman would be running for re-election...
Backing Down from the War We Can’t Los...
The Commander-in-chief’s Nobel Peace Prize aside, there’s a war to win.  Regrettably, some of our representatives aren’t eager to back the crucial effort in Afghanistan at a critical time.  General Stanley McChrystal’s call for 40,000 more troops is being met with opposition...
Buffalo News Endorses Cuomo To Replace H...
While I think an endorsement of anyone is premature at this point, I am pleased they didn’t jump on the Caroline Kennedy train. The Western New York heart may say Brian Higgins. But the head says Andrew M. Cuomo. It will be more than a month before Gov. David A. Paterson announces his choice...
Congressman Higgins, Tear Down The Skywa...
Brian Higgins, according to Buffalo Rising, say eliminating the Skyway “makes sense” financially. On the basis of a newly-released New York State Department of Transportation study, Congressman Brian Higgins said, “This report, completed in October of this year, confirms what many in this...
Read My Lips: No More Kennedys...
Caroline Kennedy is reportedly interested in Hillary Clinton’s Senate seat. Caroline Kennedy — daughter of a slain president, niece of senators, and zealous guardian of her own privacy — is interested in the Senate seat once held by her uncle, her cousin says. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he...
Hillary Gets The Nod...
Comrade Obama has named more people to serve in his regime. As widely expected, he tapped Hillary Clinton to be his Secretary of State. I have been skeptical that this was actually going to happen. I don’t see it as a wise move for Hillary if she still has presidential ambitions. So, now speculation...
Clinton, Higgins, and The U.S. Senate.. ...
Buffalo Pundit still enthusiastically supports the idea that should Hillary become the next secretary of state (which I still have doubts over) that Brian Higgins would be the best choice if Governor Paterson chooses to throw a bone to Western New York with his appointment. Buffalo Pundit offers this...
