Can Someone Explain This?

As I went into Lord & Taylor, I had to wonder how many of these things will sell. Then again, I have always been surprised that someone would open a women's clothing store called "Dress Barn". But really - what woman wants to wear anything that brings to mind cows?

Tell Cindy Her 15 Minutes are up.

Regardless of what the MSM want.

Know The Enemy

Let me know if you hear Sean Penn, Madonna, Gallagher, Carrot Top Charlie Sheen , Ted Kennedy or any other liberal speak out against how the terrorists behave.

Do They Sell Tinfoil hats in Utah?

This guy thinks the Towers were "blowed up" on 9/11.

Reap What You Sow

Well, the results are in and the "taxpayer revolt" claimed the careers of most of the legislature. Now we have a Dem (registered as GOP) as CE, another as Comptroller and 12-3 Dem edge in the legislature. We have a Dem Mayor, Comptroller and 9 Dem Councilmembers (0 GOP).

If things get better, I will switch to Dem.

If things get worse, I sure hope the voters in this area will wake up.

Fernanades II

Sadly for them, our gain is Fresno's loss.

Stone Tablets from "La Nez"

Barbra Streisand Thanks Babs. I am glad you are keeping yourself busy with efforts other than paining us with another one of you cimatic masterpieces! How is Dr. Welby's assistant, by the way?

The Best News to Hit Buffalo In a Long, Long Time

Donna Fernades has decided to return to Buffalo and the Zoo. She has been the one bright star in our firmanenet since she arrive 5 years ago. She took over a zoo with a board that thought it would be a good idea to gut a cultural mecca by taking the zoo and moving it to reclaimed toxic land along the Buffalo River, and she brought them along to see a vision of an improved zoo in its historic location.

I have never seen a person who has more people claiming to be the President of her fan club (including my bride). Countless people have spoken of her and included, almost as a throwaway line, "if only we could get her to run for x". He rbrand of collaboration, leadership and stewardship should be a model for the community.

Welcome back Donna!!

Disappointment

Byron Brown won in a landslide yesterday, and to me it is just another in a long line of missed opportunities for this city. It was a missed opportunity for Republicans to have a solid candidate who for some reason was kept in a bottle for four months focused on winning the Conservative primary because of some 20th century mentality that this would "give Democrats some place to vote for him". The truth is that line cost him the election (opportunity cost). By focusing on that they missed the chance to introduce him to voters as a real choice for change. Instead, they passed, and Brown was able to successfully introduce him as one of the Giambra crowd. The Conservative line netted him fewer votes than Einach or Flynn got. Thank God for the control Board.

Chamber of the Tonawandas

Well you never know where true leadership will come from. The Chamber of the Tonawandas has stepped up and asked for the obvious - that the state relicensing result in cheaper electricity rates for the region. It has always been a joke that we have a neighbor producing some of the highest number of killowat hours, and yet we have the second highest electricity rates in the country.
Where can I sign up for an amicus brief? Bravo Tonawanda! It is great to see real business leadership in this community.

Felons in Buffalo

Not to be outdone by Iowathere are those in Buffalo who would like to see felons be able to vote while still on parole. Any party that gets on board (self serving as they all are) clearly thinks that the felons will most likely be voting for their candidates. Isn't that a bit telling?

Separated at Birth? Nice Pants Brian!

Power Play Scam

The power authroity is taking tens of millions of doallars in profits fromn this area. Instead of patronage and pork boondoggles the money should be distributed to residents and business owners in the form of lower rates. Period.

If You Can't get regular Americans to vote for your candidates....

The left would like to stand up for all of the poor murderers, rapists, arsonists and embezzlers so that they can help us choose our elected leaders. Please . . .

Putting the Lie to the "Big Lie"

Wall Street Journal takes on the Dems for their tinfoil hat view about "lies" prior to the war with Iraq.

Will Chirac See the Light?

All of France's involvement in the graft and corruption of the Oil-For - Food programdidn't seem to prepare Chirac for the post 9-11 world.

Is the Wind out of Their Sails?

It is interesting to see that the confirmation of Judge Alito is almost two weeks away, and yet some of the MSM libs like Eleanor Clift are already backing off the Alito battle. Clift, while echoing the standard "Bush Lied" BS is trying to keep her powder dry given the awaited retirement of John Paul Stevens.

She is right on some of her points, but I don't think she or her ilk are going to have any more luck when the Stevens vacancy occurs, perhaps as soon as this summer.

The President now be at a low point in terms of his popularity, but that has much more to do with the drumbeat in the MSM about Iraq as well as non-stories like Libby, oil profits, etc. He is still spot-on when it comes to issues relating to SCOTUS vacancies.

Control Board Whiffs

The control board missed the chance to cause change last night. It is hard to believe that people aren't rising up against the sham of the legislature ducking their responsibility until after the election.
