Move On

Has MoveOn hit the tipping point?

County Executive Debate

Coming in to the home stretch, and nothing too dramatic yet, but I have to wonder if Clark paid for the ad by Pepco Energy that mocked business as usual...

Stay Tuned Sunday . . .

Looks like Hannity will make Sen. Craig look consistent..

Chris Collins Commercial

Boy, sure rises above the other two.

Poor in America

While this report does not ignore the fact that there are truly people in this country and in our area who suffer the hardships of true poverty, it does help give perspective to the press reports of increases in poverty in the area.

Keane Gets Desparate

You can tell that the Keane camp is nervous when they start outright lying about their opponent. This guy is just wrong for so many reasons . . .

GOP Consumes its Own

Well-placed GOP sources: Craig likely to quit soon - CNN.com Can anyone explain why a GOP Senator is forced to step down for playing footsie in a stall, while Barney Frank, whose prostitute boyfriend was on his gov't payroll continues to hold a leadership position?

Thompson to Tell Supporters He's In Today

SWEEP!

Curt who? And how much did they spend on "Dice K"?

Hypocrisy?

OK - So John Edwards will call on Americans to sacrifice their SUVs. I don't have an SUV, so I don't have a dog in this fight, but I have driven one in the past. My question though, is this the same John Edwards who has the 102 acre 29,000 square foot home?

What Was Up Last Night?

At first I thought it was just a result of the eclipse, but it turns out that Bill & Hillary were in town for a party. No word yet on the 200,000 new jobs for Upstate...

Where Was the Press Conference Held?

It's official: Erie Canal ends at Buffalo. Sam Hoyt got his first "meaningful" piece of legislation through both houses and signed into law. It would have been great to see them hold the press conference at the terminus of the canal, except for the fact that IT ISN"T THERE!

All Your Bases are Belong to Us

I rmember playing a similar game at Crystal Beach. My favorite quote has to do with the faulty instructions. Reminded me of this

APB!

Anyone know what the deal is with Raspberry Pop Tarts? Wegman's doesn't even have a space for them on the shelf anymore.

Privacy Concerns?

In both today's New York Times and today's Buffalo News decry the use of technology to fight crimes. To make their case, they cite privacy issues.

First of all, there is no "Right to Privacy" to be found anywhere in the Constitution that I have ever seen. Secondly, what presumption can I make about my privacy when I am walking out of a liquor store or into a sporting event?

While no one has seemed to notice, we already spend a fair amount of our day passing by cameras - at ATMs, in stores, even at the gas pump. You don't have to be a fan of "24" to know that there is no "privacy" in public.

On the other hand, if that technology can either help deter crime or help investigators put those responsible behind bars, isn't that a good thing?

Huh?

I am not sure I fully understand this legisaltion. In fact, I have not read the bill. But regardless of whether this bill becomes law you cannot change the facts that the Erie Canal does not extend to Buffalo, nor can you change the fact that it once did.

In a state that is bleeding population and hemorraghing jobs, is this what our state officials should be spending their time on?

Sanchez

Donn Esmonde has something that he abhors more than Bass ProDonn Esmonde: Punishment for Sanchez seems lacking. I am going to have to re-read it, but somewhere between the lines I think I found an argumnet for the death pernalty....
