Say no to property tax increase

 


Residents should not be fooled by Mark Poloncarz' deception. The easy thing for him to do is raise our property taxes, thus enabling him to play Santa Claus to every Arts and Cultural group in Erie County.

When he campaigned for County Executive, he promised to take care of these groups. The only thing he didn't tell us was that it would be us who would be footing the bill. There is money there to keep the basic groups afloat. What he wants is more of our money to fund all the fringe groups. Don't be fooled by this scammer. Half these groups should not be receiving public money. 

Keep the libraries and the museums open and do not rob the rest of us. We are well aware of this scam. People need to watch carefully as to how their legislators vote on this issue. Don't be fooled by Marky Mark's fancy graphs and made up statistics, telling us we are under taxed. Erie County residents know better!

WGRZ-TV: Lawmakers Divided Over Erie County Budget

Has the blog gone X-rated?

Hahahaha. Before you get too excited Ninja, they're only her elbows. This woman posted this picture to Facebook to see if it would be deleted. FB censors thought the same thing you did and it was.

Leotis McKelvin

 
Who is you to tell me, I can't talk on my damn phone? I  Leodis McKelvin and I play for da Buffalo Bills. 

Well, Leotis. The plane is about to take off and there was that announcement asking people to turn off their cell phones. By the way, Troy University called. They say you still have some term papers due from 2007.

I'd like to meet the person on the other end of the phone who could actually understand a word he was saying. Not exactly the most articulate player on the team. This guy makes Shannon Sharpe sound like William Shakespeare.

Three choir boys still at large

When they do catch the three suspects who beat up 96 year old East Buffalo resident Levi Clayton,I don't want to hear from their grandmothers about what nice young men they are. What I'd like to know is how many times each of them have previously been arrested? Who are the judges they've gone before and how long have their sentences been? Something tells me all three are very familiar with the criminal justice system.

If they continue to reoffend, why are they continuously allowed back on the streets? I wonder how many of the judges live in neighborhoods where lowlifes like these three are allowed to prey on innocent victims. If I lived in such a neighborhood, I might encourage my law abiding neighbors to take up arms. These scumbags obviously aren't worried about the judges and they need to be given something to worry about.

Reed breaks no tax pledge

Corning Republican Congressman Tom Reed was apparently just kidding when he signed a pledge to oppose any new taxes. The George Costanza lookalike now says he is open to the idea if it will help raise "revenue".

Remember, as we've said before, the word revenue is political speak for "we're going to reach deep into your wallets." Don't be fooled by Reed saying the tax hike is only going to be for the wealthy, either. Career politicians like Reed are like meth addicts when it comes to stealing our money. If clowns like this are serious about solving the national debt, how about coming after all the government waste taking place as we speak?Don't blame me. I voted for William Hung.

Holy crap

 
Sometimes, we fail to think about the affect our actions have on our environment. Sometime during the early 1980's a churchgoer in Sweden forgot to shut the hatch of the churches' tower. Who would have predicted the result?...

STOCKHOLM — A hatch on a Swedish church tower inadvertently left open for some three decades resulted in 2 tons of pigeon droppings amassing in the tower.

Lennart Helzenius said on Thursday that church staff had been shocked by the sheer number of bags of excrement cleaners were removing from the tower. He says the droppings filled 80 bags in the first round of cleaning, and then just as many in the second round.

Helzenius says the hatch had probably been left open since the 1980s.

Operation money grab

 

Under the guise of public safety, the New York State Ticket Writers harassed motorists all weekend in an effort to grab more tax money from already cash starved residents....

State police in Erie and Wyoming counties issued 367 tickets, including 170 citations for speeding, during a five-day traffic safety initiative that wrapped up today.

Troopers issue 367 tickets during safety blitz

Meanwhile, in parts of the area where crime actually occurs, residents were left to fend for themselves with limited protection from law enforcement...

96-year-old seriously injured in home invasion

Don't be fooled by these slick press releases. Outside of Buffalo's Parking Enforcement, under the talentless direction of scumbag Kevin Helfer, the New York State Police' main job is to fleece motorists attempting to use the Thruways. I'm all for ticketing people talking on cell phones and truly aggressive drivers, but the rest of these tickets are nothing more than a quick money grab. The money is then used to further corruption at all levels of New York state government. Do you think that money will makes it's way into your children's schools? Scammers.

Fireman Ed calls it quits in NY

 

You thought the Bills were having a tough season. Fireman Ed, the New York Jets superfan whose been leading cheers at Jets' games for decades, has reportedly called it quits after finding himself the target of angry hecklers...

"This is an indication of how society has lost and is continuing to lose respect for one another," Anzalone wrote. "… The fact that I chose to wear a Sanchez jersey this year and that fans think I am on the payroll – which is an outright lie – have made these confrontations more frequent. Whether it's in the stands, the bathroom or the parking lot, these confrontations are happening on a consistent basis.
"Although I can 'hold my own,' I do not want to lose my temper and make a stupid mistake," he continued.

Several people have already lined up to take his place, including former members of the Village People and the Earl of Bud. 
 


Sanchez attempted to call Anzalone to thank him for his years of support and loyalty, but the call was intercepted.

Buddy the Book calls for the Irish' luck to run out

Buddy the Book dialed in this week, still reeling from Bishop Timon's close loss to Canisius. Among the Book's other targets were the PA announcer, the Ninja, and the South Buffalo Irish citizenry. 

He also touched on the big USC-Notre Dame game this Saturday, which I think has the potential to be the college football game of the year. Football the way it was meant to be played, between two traditional rivals on natural grass, without any juking or jiving after routine tackles or 12 yard receptions. USC could be the only thing standing between Notre Dame and their improbable run at a national championship. 
 
South Buffalo's second most famous Polish bookie (Buddy the Book) sure wasn't in a good mood when he sent in this post...

After watching last weeks Msgr. Martin championship debacle ($7.00 admission). I thought Ralph Wilson would be charging for parking. Boing! Timon lost the momentum during 4th quarter, along with field position. They also failed to cash in on turnovers that resulted in zilch.  I applaud the effort and special congrats to the fans from both schools with attendance at approximately 3,500 (if you count the ninj 3,499). I guess the PA announcer was the chief "mascot" for the Crusaders.  The key word is mascot!  

The Buddy to Buddy hits of the game go to Wellenzohn and Byrne.   Play of the game- Dougherty bomb to Vaccaro. Hits of the week will be rewarded with autographed black hi-tops from Buddy himself.

Picks of the week Detroit with 3, Washinton +3, Jets +7 over beloved Patriots, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Buddy's extra Blue Ribbon special upset alert in Saturday night's game of the year: Hell! I was talking to my good buddy Lane Kiffin during the pre-season at a Pac 10 event.  That boy can call plays- He is like an encyclopedia!  Look for USC to move the chains with ease.  The USC Trojan mascot and horse will add a special flavor to one of college footballs greatest rivals (Montana, Theisman,Golic, Horning, Brown, Allen, Garrett. Bell, Swann, Palmer, Matthews and OJ SIMPSON)! You cannot miss the upset special of the year!  USC +6 over Notre Dame.  I like USC  over the cheap "Micks" by a score of 31-21.

All hail to Alma Mater,
To thy glory we sing;
All hail to Southern California,
Loud let thy praises ring;
Where Western sky
meets Western seas
Our college stands in majesty
Sing our love to Alma Mater,
Hail, all hail to thee...

Sunday - Bills +3 over Indy, Oakland +9 over Cinn, Giants - 2.5 over Green Bay and San Fran -2 over N. Orleans.

True story

 

One morning, my friend Joe was driving to work. He drove by the bus stop and broke the cardinal rule: He made eye contact. Everyone knows to look the other way to avoid picking up another passenger. Depending on who it is, the person on the corner may or may not be someone you want to spend the next 15 minutes of your life with. And, if you're like Joe, the person you pick up might not want to hear WHAM! blaring at 8AM as much as he does.

 So, back to the story... Joe spots an old acquaintance from high school. He knew him well enough to be cordial, but had heard through friends that the man had recently fell into some hard times with drugs and alcohol. He appeared healthy, and Joe decided to be a good Samaritan...
 
and give him a lift downtown. It's important to know that Joe doesn't partake in drugs, and rarely even drinks booze.

The guy (who has to remain nameless) was very gracious and thanked Joe several times on the way downtown. His car was in the shop and he appreciated Joe picking him up. Joe was starting to think the rumors of drug use were just that. After all, the man was speaking normal and the two discussed old times together. Joe was brought back to reality when he dropped off the guy at work. The man said, "Hey, thanks again, Joe. I owe you one. One of these days, we'll have to get together and do an 8-ball!" 

 


Yikes.

Political opportunist

So now that Deputy Mayor Byron Brown is on board with Abbott Rd. Councilman Chris Scamlon and State Assemblyman Mickey Paladino regarding the sports field over at Mulroy Park, it begs the question. Is the Mckinley Circle Lady still adamantly opposed to this project? I mean, we have her and her cronies (from Hamburg) on tape at the Cazenovia Library speaking out vehemently against it (But that was when the mayor told them to oppose it). Lord knows these people don't possess the ability to think for themselves. At one point, she even said, "People aren't having big families any more. The numbers are dwindling. They're not into the sports programs like they used to be."  

Our three leagues at Tosh Collins now have seven teams in each age group (21). Compare that to the four teams they had when Lou "Pinocchio" Petrucci was running the program. He ran the league the same way he ran the school board-half ass.

I suppose now that Deputy Mayor Brown is supporting the project, the Circle Lady will be, too. You know she and her hack friends will be standing right behind the mayor when they cut the ribbon. And this my friends, is why anyone with half a brain knows her and her friends in the CLIQUE are nothing more than political opportunists, always with both hands out. Takers. Give me more Urkel! Give me more!

Mayor Brown announces major city investment in new, state-of-the-art athletic field

Here she is, at the aforementioned meeting, talking about how this field is unnecessary because families in the city aren't involved in organized sports like they used to be. She even makes the claim that most families playing soccer in South Buffalo are from the suburbs. Talk about lunacy! It's right here on tape...


"If Mr. Kearns wants to take the money for Nevilly Field, he's not going to get it."

The do gooders

The 97 Rock D-Jay had his bike stolen outside his trailer in Lancaster. He is collecting donations for needy WNY families. I feel bad for him, but it's really his own fault. You can't leave a bike unlocked anywhere these days.

A pastor sleeps under a bridge every year around Thanksgiving. He's catching a bus but has to collect bottles and cans for the fare. Bah Humbug!

Did you hear someone was arrested for spitting on a Salvation Army bell ringer? Last year, someone punched out an elderly WalMart greeter on Christmas Eve. It's good to know the Christmas spirit is alive and well in WNY.

Hostess closing?

 



It's hard to believe people think Americans' priorities are mixed up these days. Israel and Palestine shot missiles at each other all weekend, and the only thing you hear people talking about are Twinkies and Ho-Ho's possibly going off the market. In fact, most Western New Yorkers think the Gaza Strip is a shopping mall in Niagara Falls.

I don't believe for a second that Hostess is going out of business. There is no way Americans would ever let that happen. The only way products disappear is if people don't crave them any longer. And in case you didn't hear, people are stocking up on these products like (cue the alliteration) bread before a blizzard in Buffalo.

I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, but I believe more is at play here than a simple managerial/worker dispute. Unless the owners are trying to bust the union and start over. People are so desperate for jobs in this country, they are willing to work for lower wages and no benefits. (*see Buffalo China). 

One thing is for sure: It says here the absence of Twinkies, Ho-Ho's, and Ding Dongs will be short lived. Americans are counting on them to expand their waistlines. Now, if someone told me the local newspaper was on it's last leg, I'd believe it. Our leaders want nothing more than an uneducated electorate. Here's an old Twinkie commercial from the 1950's Howdy Doody Show. I really envy Buffalo Bob Smith and wish I had the opportunity to pitch products. Maybe 10,000 readers from now?...




Food stores cleaned out of Twinkies after closing announced: Brand loyalty?

Public service message?

I had to laugh when I saw the billboard on South Park and Bailey the other day: "Congratulations Congressman Brian Higgins". As if we actually live in a Democracy and Higgins has ever been anything but a product of the corrupt local Political Insiders Club.

North Korea's Kim Jong II, the son of the recently deceased dictator, is more representative of Democratic government than the entitled Higgins.

As a young 20 something, Brian Higgins was transferred to a South Buffalo apartment from his Elma home, so he could be GIVEN a seat on the Buffalo Common Council. So much for democracy. Then, after losing the County Comptroller election to Nancy Naples, Higgins didn't have to go work for a company. He was GIVEN a no-show job with the Erie County Legislature. After winning his seat in Congress, Higgins was GIVEN a district with virtually no Republicans, ensuring no legitimate competition for the next 75 years.

Congressman Brian Higgins represents the South Buffalo CLIQUE at it's finest. He's never held a private sector job in his life. Congratulations? Can someone please tell me what we're congratulating him for? Has anyone seen the population loss data for this area from 1987 to the present? The current Congress is widely regarded as the most ineffective in history. Career politicians like Higgins have done NOTHING to keep young people in this region or promote private sector growth. This billboard is a joke, placed by obvious sycophants looking to gain favor with an entrenched incumbent.

If you look at the small print at the bottom of it, it says "a Public Service Message" from the Outdoor Advertisers of America. I always thought public service meant anti drug messages or pictures of missing children. Congratulating an entrenched politician? Hardly public service. This advertising company should be charged with Pandering.
