There’s good news for anyone worried that sanctimonious disgrace Eliot Spitzer learned lessons and improved himself since he joined the Emperors Club: he hasn’t changed at all. Yep, he’s still as contemptible as ever.
I hate to even give attention to someone who most people hoped would enjoy...
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:
“The president is on shaky...

New York State has too many overpaid government workers. Also, New York State has too many government workers. Those are the pair of conclusions to take away from a disheartening study by a conservative group called the Empire Center for New York State Policy.
To summarize the Channel 2 story about...
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,”...

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...

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,...

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. ...
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...

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...

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. ...

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...
Chris Lee Fights Against Obamacare...
In less than a year, every member of the U.S House is up for reelection. That means, every member who voted for government-run health care has a chance to be voted out. Right now, however, I cannot stress the importance of supporting members of Congress who stood up for the taxpayers, and against the...

Can we watch hockey without getting a political lecture? Please? Apparently, the answer is “Nope” regardless of how poorly the two subjects go together. The Buffalo Sabres aired a packaged segment during the first intermission of Saturday’s game based upon the suspicious notion...

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...
