Well, Nick, if you were laughing at Schumer yesterday, you certainly had to continue to laugh today. Teddy Kennedy’s idle threats to have votes again and again to subpoena William Rusher’s papers at the Library of Congress and Specter’s response was classic. I don’t know how Specter kept from getting up and smacking him upside the head Homey the Clown-style throughout that exchange. I would have. heh. Seriously, though, it was nice to see the RINO senator stand up to... Read More→

With Governor Pataki’s reign over New York coming to end, he has shown that he wants to go out with a bang. His most recent plan is to throw his support behind tuition tax breaks for parents who choose to send their children to private school. As you can imagine the left has already rallied behind the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) Randi Weingarten who has come out swinging against the plan. The lefts complaint is that the Governor’s plan for tax credits is really just another way to... Read More→

[I think I wrote too much in the response area earlier and it never published...the window froze...so here are my thoughts....] I don’t know….being the TV junkie that I am, I like the fact that I have a bundled basic package with the option to add any of the premium channels at an extra cost. Yes, there are a lot of unnecessary channels — most of which I don’t watch — but on the other hand, there are many channels that I’ve discovered because they’re there... Read More→

An argument is fast approaching in Congress about what to do with cable and satellite television pricing. As eloquently described in the Christian Science Monitor, there are two schools of thought: whether paying for TV channels should be like shopping at the supermarket, where customers choose the products they purchase, or like buying a newspaper, which comes packaged with the same sports, business, and comics sections regardless of whether readers want them all. And since we’re all slaves... Read More→

Listening to Senator Schumer attack Judge Alito, I have to laugh. Does anyone really take anything Democrats say during this hearing serious? You have to be from another planet to look at these hearings and not think that the questioning of Judge Alito is nothing more then a left-wing attack. I would give Schumer some credit for champion the concerns of the left against a conservative judge if he showed those same concerns for the conservative New Yorkers who didn’t vote for him who feel with... Read More→

The New York Sun is reporting today that the City Council’s new speaker Christine Quinn is serious about having active debate return to the council in regards to new legislation. Her comments are a result of all 206 bills that were brought to floor since 2001 being passed and only 5 being passed without veto proof margins. Though on the surface debate sounds good, the reason there’s no debate is because the whole council belongs to the same political thought. What is this council under Quinn... Read More→

I missed most of the steam coming out of Chuckie Cheese Schumer’s blowhole; I’m trying to eat (and enjoy) my lunch. But, did I just hear him make a baseball analogy?? Um, excuse me, that was the analogy-du-jour beaten to death during the Roberts hearings. Dude, this is a whole different ballgame! Live in the now, man!! Please, tell me the over-crunchiness of my bagel prevented me from hearing correctly. At least tell me the Clever Senator From NY was making a soccer or other sport... Read More→

Who needs Richard Dawson when we’ve got Joe “Guy Smiley” Biden??  Read More →

I’ve turned off the heater under my desk because there’s more than enough hot air coming out of the hearing coverage on CNN. (yes, still stuck w/ CNN , and only CNN, at work.) Sen. Kennedy just said, “Judge Alioto”. My personal take so far — I had the volume on during the beginning of the hearing, while Judge Alito was introducing his family, and I couldn’t help but think that any minute Richard Dawson was going to appear to start The Family Feud. “Richard,... Read More→
