Occupy Albany has made a shocking, controversial, and altogether unfathomable demand: to take money out of politics.
Ridiculous! Ludicrous! Far too specific! This would undermine everything!
Personally, I think there should be MORE money in politics. In fact, I say do away with […]
I just read a Times Union piece by Cathleen Crowley about the canonization of Kateri, a 17th Century convert to Catholicism who is being put on the fast-track to Sainthood after an alleged miracle out West.
Kateri Tekakwitha was […]
Let me first make one thing clear: I disagreed, from the beginning, with Christopher Hitchens’ view on the War in Iraq. Firstly, there are the political concerns. For as much as we were culpable in our foreign policy blunders throughout the previous decades (cue that infamous photo of Rumsfeld gifting Hussein a rifle), we could […]
Myself, along with many others on Twitter, exploded in a barrage of jokes and puns upon learning of the death of North Korea’s despot and l’enfant terrible, Kim Jong-Il.
The country’s state media reported his death late Sunday night, citing “physical exhaustion during a train ride.” With the Kim Family Regime’s history of outrageous claims and […]

Joe Simon, born Hymie Simon, was […]
Just some of the stories today that impact your life:
The grand jury in Troy’s ballot fraud case is in its final stages. Applications for unemployment in the region have hit a three-year low. In […]
I’ve written in the past that Rick Perry was George W. Bush but without the charm or charisma. I was, admittedly, being far too kind to the man who has had more work done on his face than all four Presidents on Mount Rushmore combined. […]
I somehow missed this last Friday, but caught it when it was posted on Market Block Books’ blog.
Check out the bottom headline:
“It’s possible”
Now, the story itself is actually about Small Business Saturday, a promotion […]
One of the biggest issues I’ve always had with conspiracy theorists is that they get so wrapped up in the fantasy and paranoia it induces that it blinds them from seeing the real issues that they often skirt around. Mind you, not every conspiracy theory has its hidden merits, principal among them the ones involving […]
