Fake endorsements

I wasn't surprised to hear the career politicians had solicited Andrew Cuomo to make phone calls on behalf of Chris "11,000 doors" Fahey this week. The only thing more ridiculous was when former President Bill Clinton made "calls" on behalf of Tim Kennedy. Fahey forfeited his integrity a long time ago and clearly wants to be an Albany insider. I've said it before: If a candidate has a crook making taped robo calls for them, they will rob and steal from you themselves, if you are dumb enough to vote for them. I was surprised however, when I received a call on behalf of Mickey Kearns from former Bills Running Back O.J. Simpson...

Escaped gorilla

A guerrilla escaped it's pen at the Buffalo Zoo today. The guerrilla roamed downtown Buffalo for 30 minutes, became bored, and insisted on going back to it's cage. Didn't you laugh the first time you heard Nicaraguan rebel soldiers described as guerrillas? Anyway, I'm glad they didn't have to shoot the primate. I don't like zoos. Wild animals are not meant to be in cages. Whenever someone tells me they're having a family reunion, I always ask them if they're having it at the zoo. Cue the classics...

We've got a gorilla for sale
Magilla Gorilla for sale.
Won't you buy him,
Take him home and try him,
Gorilla for sale.

Don't you want a little gorilla you can call your own,
A gorilla who'll be with ya when you're all alone?

Community Police Officer

Thanks to my sister Teresa for this photo. It's of a police officer at a Washington D.C. beach, whose job was to measure bathing suits. The year was 1922. There needed to be a certain distance from the clothes to the knee for the wearer to remain "decent."

Conservatives abandoning core principles?

I'll say this about the Green Party. At least they adhere to their core beliefs. The Western NY Conservative Party?, they don't seem to stand for anything these days. Ralph Lorigo appears to be the biggest scam artist known to man.

How can these guys target Mark Grisanti, based on his support for gay marriage, and then turn around and support Chris Fahey? Fahey is in favor of gay marriage and partial birth abortion (unless Brian Higgins calls him next week and tells him to change his mind). This article is not for or against these issues. People believe what they want to believe. It just seems to me Lorigo is forfeiting his party's core beliefs in favor of personal gain. If the Conservative Party doesn't stand for these issues, then who does?

It appears some true conservatives are starting to make waves against Brian Higgins' $88,000.00/yr prostitute Chris Fahey. Here was a quote on "11,000 Doors" Facebook page this morning. Of course, I'm told it was only up there for 10 minutes...

"South Buffalo Democrats like you, Higgins, and Kennedy, checked your souls at the door and moral values that you were taught at the Catholic Schools that you went to:St. Teresa's. Timon, and St. Joes, when you entered politics. I know the Sisters of Mercy and Franciscans didn't teach you to be pro-choice, pro gay marriage. You came from a family of nine so it is obvious your mother didn't have those same values. How is the deal with the devil to get politcal power working out for you guys? See you at Church on Sunday- probably not. You guys can go represent Allentown where your values are more alligned. Not Conservative South Buffalo, Lack, West Seneca, and OP."

I think after this election, the Conservative Party members are going to have to look within the party to make changes at the top. How can you run a party when your views are clearly not in line with the members?

Child abuse

If you're one of those parents forcing your sons to stay involved with Irish Dancing after the age of 9, what the hell is wrong with you? Does it mean that much to you to walk with the group of parents during the parades? If the boy happens to be gay and wants to continue, let him continue. There's nothing wrong with that and not a big deal, then. Or if they're straight and they're trying to use the dance moves to score with the lasses, then good for them I say.

However, in most cases, neither one of these scenarios is true. It's usually some overzealous parents who care more about their ancestry than their kids or even those actually living in Ireland. Did it ever occur to you that your 13 year old son is the only boy up on the stage? If you are that proud of your heritage, do something constructive. Let him start drinking Guinness regularly at the age of 12. If you keep parading your son out at these events, the damn kid's going to end up in therapy someday. Social status is not that important. Chances are most of your neighbors probably know you are proud to be Irish based on your green slacks and the "England, Get out of Ireland" bumper sticker on the back of your car. There is no need to embarrass your child. By the way, St. Patrick was Italian...

Red flag alert:Rick Santorum

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves." Matthew 7:15

History has a tendency to repeat itself, and it always surprises me how so few of us fail to learn from it. Like Ned Ryerson said in the movie Groundhog Day, "Am I right, or am I right?" GOP hopeful Rick Santorum came out this week and promised a war on pornography. Assuming this war is as effective as the war on drugs, we should all be in for a real gamechanger...

“America is suffering a pandemic of harm from pornography. It contributes to misogyny and violence against women. It is a contributing factor to prostitution and sex trafficking,” the former Pennsylvania senator wrote in a statement posted on his campaign website.

Not everyone agrees with Santorum's analysis of how the industry affects Americans. Steve Chapman, a writer for the Chicago Tribune took issue with Santorum's claims, which he describes as "just wrong."

"Santorum doesn't seem to notice that as porn has become ever-more available via the Internet, the prevalence of rape has plunged. Since 1991, the national rate has fallen by 86 percent -- compared to a decline in overall violent crime of 65 percent," Chapman wrote.

Whenever a national figure comes out and questions the country's morals, it's usually only a matter of time before their personal exploits get exposed (see Chris Lee and Eliott Spitzer.) So get ready for pictures of Rick Santorum wearing a dress at a gay bar to surface. Or expect him to solicit someone in an airport restroom or have some freaky Craigslist fetish. History has taught us that these are the guys to look out for. Santorum is clearly pandering to the extreme right with his latest stunt. Who does Santorum think is buying/viewing all the crap on the internet? The same people saying we're all going to hell in a hand-basket. Here's a crazy concept: How about putting Americans to work or figuring out ways to lower gas prices?

Luncheon

Channel 2 did a story on the Assembly race and the St. Patrick's Day luncheon. The Blogger shies away from these events. While all this nonsense was going on, I was walking in the fog today on the railroad tracks behind the Sorrento Cheese Plant.

I saw a cardinal, several robins, and believe it or not, a blue jay. It's not too often that Indian Summer lasts six months and leads directly into spring...

St. Patrick's Day snub

While all the big shots were at the Buffalo Irish Center celebrating my late Uncle Tom's famous St. Patrick's Day luncheon, I was enjoying the three piece special across the street at KFC. Some rats reported to me about an incident that took place during the event.

According to one witness, Bishop Kmiec turned his back on candidate Chris Fahey and walked over to Mickey Kearns and thanked him for his opposition to gay marriage and late term abortions. Witnesses were stunned, from what I'm told. Things got really weird when Jesus himself appeared and walked Mickey over to the bar and bought him a drink.

Makes you wonder what's up with the Erie County Conservative Party? Maybe they should change their name to the Sometimes We're Conservative Party. Despite Fahey's support for gay marriage and late term abortions, the Conservatives gave him their endorsement. I guess business is more important to them than their supposed principles.This is the same group targeting Mark Grisanti over his gay marriage vote. Talk about hypocrisy. Later, the Bishop stuck around the bar and talked some more politics...

Buffalo News sells out South Buffalo voters

The Buffalo News gives Chris Fahey the "Kiss of Death". Bought and paid for by Brian Higgins...

Chris Fahey, the entitled, handpicked candidate of the Western New York and Albany political bosses, received what amounts to the "kiss of death" today. The Buffalo News, the most out of touch, corrupt media outlet in WNY, gave him their not so coveted endorsement. The editorial Board, comprised of Amherst and Clarence residents, pretends to know what's going on in the city at least once a year. They've never gone against any of Brian Higgins' handpicked stooges and are obviously in his pocket. Why should this year be any different?

Fortunately for Mickey Kearns, most the residents of South Buffalo stopped shelling out 75 cents a day for yesterday's news a long time ago-literally. Today, for example, they told their readers about drug dealers shoplifting Tide detergent, the same story the Huffington Post ran last week. Sorry guys. Already read it.

Anyone who watched the News' own debate knows Kearns is clearly the more honest candidate. Fahey, with his $88,000/year no-show job and $150,000 in New York City contributions, came off as the political pawn that he is. He's basically accepted the fact that his votes and policies will be for sale. But, next Tuesday, you and your neighbors don't have to support corruption.

The best part of the gibberish the News passes as opinion comes when they make a feeble effort to defend career politicians. Seriously. After 50 years of corruption, high gas prices, population loss, tolls, and high taxes, the Buffalo News thinks what we need are more career politicians, groomed directly by the crooks to steal more of our money. You couldn't make this stuff up...

Fahey would be, in many ways, a traditional choice -- not necessarily a bad thing. For all the pervasive criticism of "professional politicians," there is nothing inherently wrong with having experience in the field in which you propose to work. The risk is that "traditional" translates into the usual blind support of Democratic interest groups, including unions.

Not necessarily a bad thing? More like a terrible thing! The last thing anyone wants is another career politician stealing our money and creating more patronage jobs. Get a job! Fahey has accepted over $150,000 in campaign donations from Albany's biggest sleazeball, Sheldon Silver. Yes, the same Sheldon Silver who sold out WNY on UB 2020. If you or your neighbors are dumb enough to elect this crook-in-waiting (Fahey), you deserve everything you get.

Thank God blogs like mine are putting corrupt rags like the Buffalo News out of business. They know as much about what is going on in South Buffalo as I know about Clarence or Grand Island. Their editorial board is a long running joke in this community.

Directly into pockets
Fahey for Assembly
