Higgins Speaks out on International Affairs

Brian Higgins whose previous experience in International Affairs was a combination of trips to the International house of Pancakes and once for Chinese food in Fort Erie, has spent a couple of days in Africa and the Middle East, and has an approach that will solve the problems there. Thank God. He has done so much for the City of Buffalo, and the State of New York. With his track record, put him in charge of Iraq, and people will be moving out in numbers similar to what he did for us here.

Eliot Camera Shy?

I have never seen camera within a mile of Spitzer that he hasn't run toward, but all of a sudden he is sending his "Spokesperson" (Compare the number of quotes attributed to her in 2005 and compare to his - like he needs a spokespserson) to talk about his defense of the State putting it to WNY commuters. I get "attorney client privelege", etc , but what is his stance as a candidate?

Eating Bugs will seem like nothing after this!

Paul Tokasz sticks it to the area one last time!!

In typical fashion, Tokasz works the system so that there is no opportunity for anyone but the handpicked party hacks to succeed him. IS THERE NO LIMIT TO THE CONTEMPT THIS GUY MUST HAVE FOR THE VOTERS?

Let's See How The Story Plays out

Yesterday, the story was This race has been seen as a referendum on both the Republican Congress and a Republican president whose popularity has been sinking, reports CBS News correspondent Jerry Bowen. Now that the election is over let's see if the report who won the referendum. Don't hold your breath.

Schumer & Clinton Stand Up For Identity Theft

Wile this legislation is part of the immigration debate it is also worded so that someone could collect Social Security by commiting identity theft. Even if they reworked the law to take identity theft out of it, how could anyone vote to table a bill like this?

Ronald Reagan on Immigration

This article is interesting. My take on this issue is that we should do the following in order:
1 - Secure our borders. Frankly I am less concerned about Schictel's migrants or the Irish bartenders but if they can get in, so can Al Quaida
2) Stop the laws that coddle lawbreakers. I believe we should provide free medical care for any illegals who are here and who need it, but all other benefits should be revoked. Send all of them home to their countries of origin.
3) Increase the number of H1-B visas granted - maybe double the number.
4) The immigrants (like my ancestors) who helped build this country had to work hard, and they had to assimilate to the American culture. Utility companies did not offer their instructions in any language other than English. We should do the same now.

BTW - the Canadian Border is just as porous as the Mexican border.

A Nice Story

We don't often get these kinds of stories from the downstream media.This story about a Mayor from Iraq is pretty moving.

Paging Milton Friedman

Whaddaya know - taxes were cut and yet tax revenues are up. Who'da thunk it? Tough news for the downstream media to incorporate into their zero-sum worldview, I am sure.

What is the president Thinking?

Here is, in my opinion, the biggest reason for the President's slip in the polls.

Steadfast

I thank God we have a President who is unmoved by polls. I disagree with him on some key issues, but I have a hard time reconciling this with this.

Lancaster schools get the most bang for the buck - Business First of Buffalo:

This research by Business First demonstrates that there is no simple cause-effect relationship between per pupil expenditures and results. It would be great if they included the Private Schools in these comparisons.

Leaks

Is it just me, or are there more leaks out of the Prosecutor's office than there were in the underlying case?

I always cry at weddings . . .

This story doesn't say whether Vice President Cheney was sitting on the Bride or Groom's side...

More Good Economic News

The legacy media have such a hard time reporting about the economic expansion.

Insulting?

I am not African-American, but if I were, I think I would be pretty insulted that a group of seemingly intelligent people are debating whether it is possible that African Americans would ever vote for the best candidate in a general election.
