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″...
A Massachusetts State of Mind...
Well everyone, for the past week or so, I have been fully absorbed in the U.S. Senate Special Election in Massachusetts, helping Scott Brown get elected. I devoted my blogging time to my Massachusetts blog, Hub Politics, which experienced a tremendous surge in traffic in the last weeks and days of Brown’s...

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...

While the media and left-wing bloggers are having a field day criticizing Chris Collins for his recent inappropriate comments, Chuck Schumer, who last year had to apologize for calling a flight attendant a “bitch” has put his foot in his mouth again for using a inappropriate and pornographic...

The best thing Albany and Washington can do for the economy is nothing. The worst is basically everything they’ve attempted over the past few decades. Guess which approach they’re planning to use as they inflict their newest scheme upon Buffalo? The city’s paper happily...
Fusion Voting: Still Stupid After All Th...
Whatever you want to call it: electoral fusion, fusion voting… no one can convince me that it is a good idea. Last week, we saw another example of how it actually causes more problems in the electoral processi

Paterson Plays Race Card...
It is really sad in politics when either a politician or a pundit resorts to blaming racism for their troubles, be it losing an argument, or as in Governor David Paterson’s case, fighting hard to save his career.
Gov. Paterson blamed a racist media Friday for trying to push him out of next year’s...
Feel Safer?...
Ahh yes… another “successful” gun buyback brings in 700 guns, and now, don’t you just feel so much safer walking the streets of the city? Maybe if you’re an anti-gun nut, you might feel good about yourself, but the people who live in the city don’t seem to be comforted.

I thought the worst was behind me when I left Massachusetts… but apparently New York is just as bad, if not worse, than the Bay State when it comes finding new ways to rob taxpayer.

I know I said I wouldn’t be blogging while I was visiting Boston, but I thought I would check in anyway since I can blog on my iPhone with a nifty WordPress application.
Anyway, one nice thing about Boston is that Starbucks is test marketing their new Clover-crafted small batch coffee here. That...

I still can’t help myself from perusing the nonsensical diatribe in Artvoice. And this week’s Earth Day edition (which bears no sign of being printed on recycled paper) features a real gem from Michael Niman, a recovering victim of Bush Derangement Syndrome.
Niman, who still thinks Al Gore...
