Political IV: August 2009

http://politicaliv.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have". Monday, August 31, 2009. Hold Onto Your Wallets. There is no will in local governments to cut spending, so the projected pension increases that are being predicted are likely to cost you more in the form of property or sales tax. It is easier to take credit for things government spends money on than expend political capital and articulate spending cuts. New York state pension costs soar. Even before ...

Niagara Times: Phil Rumore is 100 Percent Correct

http://niagaratimes.blogspot.com/2012/03/phil-rumore-is-100-percent-correct.html

The purpose of this blog is to promote civil discourse on issues of concern in the Niagara region. March 8, 2012. Phil Rumore is 100 Percent Correct. Yes, you indeed read that headline correctly. While we here at Niagara Times are often viewed as right of center, we prefer to view ourselves are the voice of reason and common sense. Now, those aren't words that many would associate with Buffalo Teacher Union honcho Phil Rumore, probably one of the most despised men in WNY. Perhaps what we really need is a...

Niagara Times: Idiot? We spell it L-O-R-I-G-O...

http://niagaratimes.blogspot.com/2012/02/idiot-we-spell-it-l-o-r-i-g-o.html

The purpose of this blog is to promote civil discourse on issues of concern in the Niagara region. February 24, 2012. We spell it L-O-R-I-G-O. We have had any number of misgivings with legislative decisions made by Sen. Mark Grisanti. While we really never had really deep feelings about gay marriage, we had many qualms about the bill voted on by the State Legislature. Se a Democrat instead of Grisanti. Apparently, Ralph Lorigo desperately needed some newspaper headlines, to prove he’s still relevant.

Niagara Times: Canadian Bacon isn't Pork

http://niagaratimes.blogspot.com/2012/03/canadian-bacon-isnt-pork.html

The purpose of this blog is to promote civil discourse on issues of concern in the Niagara region. March 7, 2012. Canadian Bacon isn't Pork. While we’d love to chime in about Super Tuesday’s results (a less-than-impressive showing by the frontrunner—again) we’d be remiss if we didn’t focus, instead, on a questionable move by the Cuomo Administration right in our own backyard. The Buffalo News has reported that the Governor—whose is otherwise doing a decent job, in our view—has. Absent a push by the state.

The purpose of this blog is to promote civil discourse on issues of concern in the Niagara region. March 13, 2012. Niagara County Lawmaker to Washington: Can You Hear Me Now? First off, we would be remiss if we didn’t note. St Bonaventure’s NCAA bid. The scrappy little Catholic school certainly has brought distinction to itself this year, and has really been the best thing happening in New York State college basketball this side of Syracuse. Still, they’re representing WNY in. The problem is, no one is r...

Niagara Times: Pet Peeves of Political Punditry

The purpose of this blog is to promote civil discourse on issues of concern in the Niagara region. April 4, 2012. Pet Peeves of Political Punditry. I was reading the Buffalo News story today about Kathy Hochul's. Pivot" on Medicare compared to positions she took in the campaign. Look, if Kathy is smarter now than she was before when she was pandering on the Medicare issue during the campaign, great. But the language that is getting used in politics these days is one of my pet peeves. Such as:. 4) Transpa...

One day, a father rabbit and his son are in the forest having a lunch. A pigeon lands and asks for some food, at which point the father rabbit shoos the pigeon away and says “the pigeon is nothing more than a rat with wings.”. The pigeon had done many backroom deals with the rats and neither could be trusted. One of the hot issues at time involved anim...
