A-144: A Chance To Oust Sam Hoyt?...
Sam Hoyt has survived a pretty nasty election year scandal, so clearly, party loyalty makes his job quite safe. But this year’s election is shaping out to at least be interesting enough that Hoyt might have some vulnerability. For one thing, there’s Joe Golombek, who is not only facing Hoyt...

Time to unite.
The former Congressman Rick A. Lazio emerged as the Republican Party’s preferred candidate for governor at an often raucous convention in Manhattan on Wednesday, dealing a fatal blow to the efforts of Steve Levy,the Suffolk County executive, to become the nominee of a party he joined...
Cuomo Finally Announces Gubernatorial Bi...
The first thing I’d like to say is “It’s about time.”
Solidly leading all match-ups, the race is his to lose. And, call me crazy, he could still lose it. If you think it’s impossible, just ask Martha Coakley.
The biggest problem for the Republican candidates and for Steve...
Will Chuck Schumer Condemn Obama’s...
Okay, we all know he won’t, but our senior Senator was highly critical of recess appointments when President George W. Bush made such an appointment to put William Pryor on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in 2004, Schumer’s had the following reaction:

NY GOP Chairman Ed Cox may be trying to handpick the party’s gubernatorial nominee, but a new Marist Poll shows that Empire State Republicans are thinking for themselves.
Looking ahead to the election for Governor, If the Republican primary for Governor were held today, who would you vote for...
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,”...
Was Massa Ousted Over Health Care?...
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.

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. ...
