As if New York politics needed more drama, Politco reports that Rep. Eric Massa says that the White House and DEmocrat leaders in the House of Representative ousted him over his position on health care.
Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) says the House ethics committee is investigating him for inappropriate comments...

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...

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...

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...
Artvoice Misreads Scott Brown’s Vi...
Artvoice contributor Michael Liman had a piece in last week’s issue which foolishly argued that “[Scott Brown's] win wasn’t a referendum on healthcare reform or Obama.”
It is amusing that the left refuses to take any lessons from from Scott Brown’s victory two weeks ago....

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″...
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. ...

Not to pile on, but I’m with Matt. Critics should offer a deal to Chuck Schumer: we’ll stop harping on the nasty things he says as soon as he stops saying nasty things. Fresh off news regarding his catty betrayal of Hillary Clinton, he’s now aiming his crude phrasings at voters who...
Paterson Prefers State-Level Excess...
Fiscal responsibility doesn’t mean spending other people’s money before they get the chance. Regrettably, certain governors disagree. For one, New York executive David Paterson took a break from railing about pitfalls created by the state’s massive debt to point out how much cash same state...

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. ...

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...

New Jersey and New York are similar neighbors. For one, both are homes to NFL venues. Of course, the Garden State hosts two teams, even if they’re equipped with out-of-state license plates, while the Empire State has one, as long as the Bills count as a pro squad. The resemblance goes beyond...

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...

Ouch. This has to hurt.
Gov. Paterson’s lead over Attorney General Andrew Cuomo in a potential 2010 Democratic gubernatorial primary has dwindled from a whopping 23 points last month to just two, according to a poll released today.
For the first time since May, Cuomo has a better favorable rating...

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...
