By now you have probably figured out that the big bombshell story about Governor Paterson was not much of a bombshell story. It certainly was nothing that would prompt Paterson’s resignation.
Rick Lazio has criticized the New York Times before for letting hype brew about the story without publishing...

New York State is attempting to simultaneously help the economy and environment. Yeah: they’ll do nothing for either. Enticed consumers spent the weekend racing about trying to grab government entitlements for those outfitting their kitchens and basements. They’re taking part in a transparently...

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...

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″...

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...

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...

Aged buildings look nice. Everyone prefers the warmth and character that radiates from old-timey brick facades, especially when compared to soulless concrete monstrosities. Take the Summit Building at 918-920 Main Street, which is a four-story red-bricked gem dating from 1891. For historical reference, the...

So, Buffalo Geek and I got into a mini debate on Twitter about torture, GITMO, and the Geneva Convention. He then ”challenged” me to a face-to-face debate.
I am all for meeting my political adversaries. I’ve had lunch with a few since I moved here, including two lunches with Buffalo...

In my opinion, he should have resigned three years ago:
