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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

We need government-funded trains to facilitate travel across the country. On top of that, their construction will spur financial recovery. That’s because it’s 1936. Regrettably, when it comes to fixing and administering the economy, we’re still coping with a Depression mentality; further,...

Can you prove what you’re selling is yours? Wait: why should you have to if you didn’t do anything wrong? You’re not on trial to establish the chain of ownership for any wristwatch or DVD player you put in hock. But you may get legally hassled anyway depending on where you are. To wit,...

Barack Obama wants something. Scott Brown doesn’t. Brown wins. Yes, last week’s special election provided the most awesome result of all time. But it could delightfully be topped. The one thing more fun for conservatives than the phrase “Republican Senator Number 41″...

Guess the Hate Crime isn’t a fun game. But it’s unfortunately being played in Erie County. Consider two recent infamous attacks within the jurisdiction. In both, it goes without saying that the victims deserve infinite sympathy while the perpetrators should face ample time in a cell...
Canadians Make Buffalo’s Health Care I...
It’s nice to see a local company innovate its way to success. It’s even nicer when they simultaneously prove the folly of looming, odious federal legislation. Specifically, a local health provider has benefited from noticing that Canada’s health care system is often only universal on paper. ...

City Hall can’t run the economy properly. City Hall can barely run City Hall. Buffalo has not quite been dragged into financial utopia by its government; that’s especially seen in the folly of redistributing our money among companies of the bureaucracy’s choosing. But at least one...

Back in October, several Buffalo area bloggers and websites were quick to label Chris Collins an anti-Semite for comments he made about Sheldon SIlver. WNYMedia and Artvoice in particular haven’t held back any punches against the Republican Erie County Executive.
So where are they now, after...

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...
Dinner Should be on the Hall...
The City of Buffalo would like you to dine out. Please. But kindly only do so at sanctioned eateries that the local government has blessed with cash. The Buffalo News recently highlighted the specific flaws of a loan program that removes “free” from markets:

Defend Tom Bauerle, not Kevin Jennings...
Local left-wing Obamabots have been moaning and groaning over things Tom Bauerle said on his radio show this week by comparing the 100 year-old pedophile who was freed this week to Obama’s ”Safe Schools” Czar, Kevin Jennings. Here are the objectionable comments (transcript via The...
