Ordinarily, I leave the Wes Clark updates to BuffaloPundit but, I just had to mention Wes’s appearance on Bill O’Reilly’s nightly screamfest. O’Reilly had him on to discuss the alleged Marine Corps murders at Haditha in Iraq and Rep. John Murtha’s comments on the situation. Clark handled himself with dignity and class and [...]
Before Hillary came on stage to accept the democratic nomination for US Senate, the crowd was shown an 18 minute biopic. It’s starts off with some lip biting sentimentality from Bill and pictures of everyone that hates her. It blossoms into how much she has done for New York pre and post 9/11 [...]
Government functions best when it is transparent, accessible, and fosters participation. Opening up the power of the network and bridging the digital divide expands access and creates a better world.
The network also provides a means of communication that is above the filter of the mainstream media. How many local news [...]
I specifically came to the convention today in order to hear Hillary’s nomination and acceptance speech. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to do that…I actually have a real job that requires me to work once in a while.
Unfortunately, the Hevesi speech and the extended nominations and introductions ate into my time.
Keep listening to the [...]
Charlie Schumer takes the podium and immediately raises an inflatable Stanley Cup to rile up the crowd…shoutout to Danny Briere.
He’s got his pro-Buffalo hat on. Shoutouts to Charlie The Butcher, Ulrich’s, the Buffalo Italian Festival, and Redlinski’s.
In case you were wondering, Charlie thinks Len Lenihan is the bees knees.
He’s determined to take [...]
There are 2,400 employees in the New York State Comptroller’s office. All of them competent, without agenda, and non-political. Or at least that’s what he says…
I was wrong, Alan is actually more boring than Byron Brown. He’s giving us the exciting details of what a Comptroller actually does…it’s hard work, if you [...]
Yes, that’s the song used during Hevesi’s introduction.
I was hoping for “Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta”
Starting off with a Sabres shoutout. Thanking Shelly Silver, Byron Brown, Christine Quinn…it’s a shame he didn’t thank the SEIU hack who provided a second for his nomination. I love politics.
Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples is up.
It appears her role was one of simply providing the introduction to Mayor Byron Brown.
A quick shoutout to the Sabres…then the official nomination of Alan “Adult Supervision” Hevesias New York State Comptroller.
They couldn’t have found a more perfect speaker to introduce NY’s chief accountant. Byron is putting the [...]
Up next is State Senator David Valesky from the 49th State Senate district. It’s also a return to the typical pablum…I’m already missing my new bestest buddy, Rep. Meeks.
HOW LONG!@??!?!!
Dynamic Dave’s agenda? Describing how Eliot Spitzer and David Patterson will work to lower power costs for businesses in New York as well as [...]
The day began with a rousing anti-Bush speech from Jerry Nadler.
Congressman Gregory Meeks is up next…reaching a preacher’s tone. It would appear that Rep. Meeks spent some time at the Rev. Jesse Jackson Oratory Institute. The theme is that a good and better morning is on the horizon…
A traditional Democratic platform. Caring [...]
