Deep Thoughts

Indifference
I don’t really give two shits whom Obama or McCain picks as a running mate.

Consider the Source(s)
I believe that the leaking of a barrage of alleged e-mails between Sam Hoyt and his former paramour(s) to embarrass Hoyt a few weeks before the election undoubtedly originates from City Hall.

When You’re a Jet, You’re a Jet all the Way
Hoyt’s “Sharks” to Brown’s “Jets” are hitting back, but for now it’s far below the radar. There are rumors being floated that if true would be, in many people’s opinion, far more scandalous than the revelation that Hoyt cheated on his wife.

Party of One
As I indicated yesterday, the State BOE now reports that Jack Davis has filed 890 pages and 6 volumes of petitions to get himself listed in November on the “Save Jobs and Farms” party ballot. I hope that each page was worth every penny.

Labels
Illuzzi is getting hammered right now on WBEN. I suspect that the fact that the News and TV media have referred to him as a “blogger” bothers him more than anything.

    McCain takes 5-point lead over Obama

    Poll: Republican seen as a stronger manager of the economy

    updated 8:31 a.m. ET, Wed., Aug. 20, 2008

    WASHINGTON – In a sharp turnaround, Republican John McCain has opened a 5-point lead on Democrat Barack Obama in the U.S. presidential race and is seen as a stronger manager of the economy, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.

    McCain leads Obama among likely U.S. voters by 46 percent to 41 percent, wiping out Obama’s solid 7-point advantage in July and taking his first lead in the monthly Reuters/Zogby poll.

    The reversal follows a month of attacks by McCain, who has questioned Obama’s experience, criticized his opposition to most new offshore oil drilling and mocked his overseas trip.

    I was going to vote for Powers in the primary but I think I will not after hearing about what a louse powers is on this site and also this afternoon on WHAM while I was out doing errands. He seems like the type of arrogant politician that we already have too many of.

    Seeing as how you wrote in the Niagara Falls “Reporter”:

    “As for me, this is the most fun I’ve had since I stopped selling crack, which is saying a lot”

    I would imagine you have quite the nose for the narcotics.

    Thanks for starring out the ‘a’.

    I mean, it isn’t the ATM joke that’s offensive, it’s the the actual word ‘ass’.

    wow…looks like somebody learned how to google on teh internets! over the past 31 years, i’ve published 5,000 articles, columns & short stories, made 16 albums and wrote three books (the third, “mob boss: a biography in blood” will be out on halloween!) and it’s taken 10 years for anybody in western new york to figure out i’ve said a lot of silly/funny/stupid things! pundit, put gold stars on all of their beetle browed foreheads!

    reminds me of the hayseeds who kept quoting lennon for saying the beatles were bigger than god, or rod (stewart) or whatever.

    @mike hudson, as long as they’re not fecophilic psychopaths, they’re better human beings than you.

    @ Hudson,
    Silly or funny?!?! Hardly. But I will grant you stupid…. as long as we can throw in hypocritical, dishonest and coarse. 31 years? This is just scratching the surface of your whacked-out editorializing and “commentary” from the last year or so. Given the endlessly whiny, self-absorbed punk-god pap – that you constantly need to assure everyone is actually stellar journalism – the irony of your own words really is completely lost on you, isn’t it?

    BTW… Parlato says that the tens of thousands of dollars of otherwise useless advertising that he has paid you for this year, for his barely coherent full page ads, has been worth the complete turn-around in coverage you have granted his tax-avoiding POS “tourist trap.”

    http://www.niagarafallsreporter.com/column330.html

    …and way too many other links showcasing your amazing bought and paid for flip-flop to bother posting.

    Enjoy that Christmas in New Orleans and send Parlato a special “thank-you” holiday card.

    Mike Hudson went after Anello and those mob union dickbags in Niagara county in a way that the Gazette never did. Sorry guys, but as much as you hate his antics and questionable writing style, that’s good journalism.

    When he tries to equate the achievements of the Pagans with the Dead Boys or Pere Ubu is when I agree that he is off his rocker. Or should I say his PUNK ROCKER? AH HA HA HA HA HA, ha, ha .. ha …. heh……

    I’m sorry.

    mike hudson used to trade cocaine for spelling lessons.

    he only took two lessons… but man did he do a lot of cocaine.

    “i do that when i get paid”

    Hudson admits it here first – he’s been paid by the Davis campaign.
