Courtesy of a video posted online by New York Now (see the 4:47 mark), I finally received the context from the picture of Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who voted against same-sex-marriage, holding up a glossy photo of Lady Gaga with a telephone on her […]
The most important lesson to take from the events of the last twenty-four hours is that passage of legislation legalizing same-sex marriage will not lead to moral decay and the destabilization of all we hold dear in our society.
You’re thinking of hockey.
Last night, after the Boston Bruins won game seven of the NHL […]
What made me proud to be a constituent of State Senator Roy McDonald wasn’t his public proclamation that he would be the 31st confirmed vote for gay marriage on the floor of the Senate. Rather, it was the fallout and what he […]

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but the world is ending this Saturday.
It’s true! According to the internet and various bumper stickers, this coming Saturday – May 21st, 2011 – is Judgement Day. Why? Because.
Like Christmas or an ex-girlfriend I see when I’m out in Albany and try to avoid, this one snuck […]
