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 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...
Obama Gets Buffalo Wings...
That pretty much sums up his entire trip. At least from a national perspective. A quick perusal of online stories about Obama’s split-second trip to our miserable, dying city finds that the non-Buffalo media (and blogs) really dug the fact that Obama got buffalo wings in Buffalo. USA Today: Obama...
Places Obama Should Visit In Buffalo...
Okay, as details of Barack Obama’s visit have been revealed, one thing that is clear is that he will barely be here. From what I understand the amount of time between when Air Force One touchesdown at Buffalo-Niagara International Airport and when it departs is three hours. So, all that time, energy,...
Obama Visits Buffalo Next Week...
I bet the news of Obama’s pending visit to Buffalo got the folks at WNYMedia even more excited than when they all watched the horse video from Carl Paladino’s emails. President Barack Obama plans to visit Buffalo next Thursday as the next stop on his “Main Street tour” of American...
Smoke-Free, Stressed-Out Living...
You can’t smoke while at work, in restaurants, at bars, and, depending how stifling a particular community is, within the public portion of the outdoors.  But at least you can still light up at home. Or maybe not.  The public/private consortium of health bullies that is the Erie-Niagara Tobacco-Free...
Buy Your Own Art...
This year’s Hallwalls’ Artists & Models Affair might be fun or freaky.  It could be both, too, but it should be up to individuals to find out for themselves.  Admission to the undoubtedly provocative May 1 event is 15 bucks presale or a Jackson at the door.  Either way, taxpayers are also...
Bad Ideas, Worse Behavior: Spitzer’s B...
There’s good news for anyone worried that sanctimonious disgrace Eliot Spitzer learned lessons and improved himself since he joined the Emperors Club: he hasn’t changed at all.  Yep, he’s still as contemptible as ever. I hate to even give attention to someone who most people hoped would enjoy...
Carl Paladino Was Right about Obamacare...
Yes. I’ll say it. I know it’ll drive the Obamabots at WNYMedia nuts, but Carl Paladino was right in his comparison of Obamacare to 9/11. Carl P. Paladino won’t officially enter the Republican campaign for governor until April 5, but he’s already ignited controversy in New York...
Find the Ex-House Degenerate Work!...
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,”...
Plenty of Vacancies...
Downtown Buffalo’s most common sight might be plywood.  Regrettably, the vertically-placed sheets aren’t particularly appealing to shoppers, tourists, or potential apartment renters.  The boarding-up-unused-places industry may be booming, but numerous other aspects of the city’s economy grow...
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...
Turner Uncovers Our Secret: We’re Dumb...
Take off your Klan hoods and pay attention, my fellow conservatives: we’re in trouble.  To wit, Douglas Turner has found us out.  It’s hard to get through The Buffalo News copy-churner’s columns, as his output is as boring as it is unpleasant.  But disregard how he’s a student of the Rod...
Orchard Park Blows Smoke...
Liberals tolerate any lifestyle choice, unless that choice is smoking.  That little trail of fumes emanating from the lit end of a smooth, satisfying, delicious cigarette or rolled-up-phonebook-sized cigar frightens them far more than, say, radical Islam or unsustainable deficits. As evidence, the fun...
Welcome To Buffalo, A Miserable, Dying C...
Maybe that’s what the signs should say because once again, Buffalo has made Forbes’ Top Ten Most Miserable Cities list. Buffalo came in ranking at #8, unchanged from last year. Buffalo has also been ranked one of the fastest dying cities in the country, too. While I am sure some would argue...
Failing to Earn Credit...
The one thing that’s better than making money is being handed some.  That’s why anyone who doubts the Earned Income Tax Credit is the most wondrous gift our benevolent government has ever bestowed upon us should read The Buffalo News. In particular, their January 31 take on the subject, helpfully...
