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...

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,...
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:

There’s no law that everyone has to be equally miserable, although the present Congress might soon address that. Until then, Buffalo is nonetheless going with the flow down the drain instead of floating above the present nationwide depressing standard. G. Scott Thomas from Business First notes...

News flash: the economy still stinks. If you blame the government, you have shocking company in The Buffalo News, which ran a story Sunday on how the feds aren’t quite fixing everything or anything. Unfortunately, the paper claims that Washington is at fault for a curious reason, namely because...

Well, it was a pretty good Election Day… certainly better than last year. My apologies for the lateness of this reaction post. Circumstances beyond my control kept me from writing… anyway…
It was extraordinarily gratifying to see Jon Corzine lose in New Jersey. That alone made last...

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...

Having fewer bad congressional representatives isn’t worth it. And, while it’s nice to enjoy shorter waiting times at restaurants and cope with less traffic, it’s ultimately not fun to have a broke ghost town to yourself. The remaining residents of New York State are coping with...

Should we cheer when awful times don’t get worse? New York’s percentage of idle workers remained constant during the previous two months. Unfortunately, that means that the rate has stabilized in critical condition:

On the plus side, we are lower than the national average. But, 13,000 jobs have been lost in the past year. So glad that stimulus is working.
The Buffalo News does try to put some positive spin on the news, however.
A glimmer of hope could be found in the numbers released Thursday, however, as normal...
