Every time one of these moments happens, Carl Paladino seems to flourish with the public. His poll numbers seem to go up. In this interview, he says he is unintimidatable. In one of my favorite quotes years ago in a newspaper article, he said he was unembarrassable. It makes you think Mike Tyson is one of his advisers.
The fact is certain members of the press have an agenda. New York Post writer Fred Dicker is Andrew Cuomo's "stalking horse." He's not reporting the news. He's trying to become part of the story. He's Cuomo's "bird dog." He might as well be on his payroll (if he's not already). When Cuomo says he's staying "out of the gutter", it's an outright lie. He knows some old lady's going to hear that and say, "Andrew is such a nice young man." BS. He's a scumbag who is afraid to debate Paladino because Paladino is talking about issues that concern the public. Cuomo thinks he's entitled to the governor's seat by virtue of his last name. He's sending out bottom feeders like Fred Dicker and Alphonse TO'mato to write and say nasty things about Paladino. He even went to a museum and dragged out the irrelevant Ed Koch.
Mr. Dicker: When Carl Paladino says he's going to "take you out", it's just a term of affection in upstate New York. We want to "take you out" and show you the Falls and all the great restaurants in Western New York. Fred Dicker's a classy guy. Be on the lookout. You might see him in your neighborhood, hiding in the bushes with the rest of the rats, taking pictures of 10 year old girls. This might fly in New York City but not here in Buffalo. You might be a reporter, but if you come back here Freddy, we're going to be the ones asking the tough questions.
I've been selling the anti-Cuomo merchandise for about a month now. One thing I've heard at least 20 people say is, "I have to get one of those shirts/signs for my father/grandfather!" Apparently, there are a lot of very angry, baseball wielding, old men walking around New York state these days. You know what they say, the older you get the wiser you become.
If your father, grandfather, uncle, or elderly neighbor reminds you of Walter Matthau's character from Grumpy Old Men, I have the perfect gift for them. One of my products. I know times are tough, but they're cheap and right to the point. I can ship them out right away very easily and they will love you forever. What old man doesn't hate the idea of another Cuomo reaching into their wallet? I have found my target audience. For the angry, old man in your family or on your street who just wants "those damn kids to stay away from his lawn!", I suggest you go to www.anyonebutandrew.com and buy one of my "Friends don't let friends elect another Cuomo" t-shirt, bumper sticker, or lawn sign.
I know kissing up to Brian Higgins and nominating yourself for multiple "civic pride" awards is a full time job, but Jeff, you could at least take the time to tell your runners which direction the course goes. From Buffalo News...
Jackson stays the course
It was an unusual day at Cazenovia Park for the Mount Mercy and Nardin cross country teams.
The race leaders on the 5K course took a wrong turn.
And that ended up nixing the results of the best runners from both schools.
Mount Mercy senior Bridget Jackson stuck to the course she was told to run, avoiding the wrong turn the others in front of her took, and ended up winning the race in 24:13. Mount Mercy edged Nardin by one point for the team victory, handing Nardin its first loss.
"The top 11 runners were all disqualified because they went on the wrong course," Mount Mercy coach Jeff Conrad said. "But there were 45 runners in the race, so 34 ran the right course and it came down to the middle runners on both teams.
"Bridget knew the course and decided that she was staying on the course that the coaches told her to run. She followed her instinct to follow directions and it won her the race.It was a great lesson in sportsmanship for both teams."
What the f%*K does running the right course have to do with sportsmanship? Seriously. I have no idea what he means with this quote. Brian just called, buddy. The streetlights are on. You have to come home now.
The View's Joy Behar got on the air and made a ridiculous statement in a cheap effort to get a laugh from her crowd. She said Carl Paladino could win the race for governor if he "got all of his illegitimate children out to vote". It's at the end of this brief clip:
Paladino responded with a statement of his own saying: ""Joy Behar should be absolutely ashamed of herself for referring to Carl's daughter as illegitimate. She's a child and does not deserve that kind of treatment from a woman who should know better. That's catty, it's pissy and strikes of something that someone would say when suffering from a sudden hot flash. The only person here who's illegitimate is Joy Behar's hairstylist."
Behar has a great face-for radio. For her to tell a joke at the expense of a child should tell you something about her talent level. If a male reporter made a crack like that about a female candidate, there would be women's groups calling for that man to be taken off the air. But at least Behar's not as scary as this Neandrothal reject from the View.
Was this the Stingrays Vs. the West Side? The coach in the orange shirt who sucker punches the guy in the blue shirt in this clip should go to jail for awhile. He could have seriously hurt the guy over a youth football game. Idiots like this need to be taken off of the streets...
The 65 year old man arrested for using the bathroom at the NFTA bust station downtown was acquitted yesterday.
Enoch "Edsil" Cook was found not guilty Monday by a judge who lauded the willingness of a witness to testify about Cook's run-in with a transit cop after he parked his bicycle and went to the men's room at the downtown bus terminal.
The acquittal followed a half-day, nonjury trial at which Dorothy Fuller of Buffalo disputed the claims by Transit Officer Adam Brodsky that Cook, 65, fought with him after being told he was under arrest for illegally using the restroom.
City Judge James A.W. McLeod said convicting Cook of anything would be a "miscarriage of justice."
I look out my window and see the empty 40 oz beer bottles, hypodermic needles, crack pipes and abandoned shopping carts on my front lawn and begin to think. The end results have become known as my random thoughts from the ghetto...
It's late September and I really should be back at school...
-Have you ever been to an event where a half ovation occurs? Some performer or speaker finishes a mediocre performance and one person (the easily entertained) stands up. A couple other people follow their lead but the majority of the crowd remain holdouts. What do you do? Should you succumb to peer pressure and stand up? Do you hope they eventually realize their enthusiasm is not shared by everyone? It's very uncomfortable. I blame the first standers. If the performance was so great, there would be no discussion. So sit down losers.
-The Buffalo Bills will be working on a new promotion in a couple of weeks. They are going to pick a random guy out of the stands to play quarterback. They're also going to have him run the no huddle offense.
-Don't you hate it when you get handed your change and something just doesn't feel right? You have been given a Canadian quarter. I don't live in Canada. I don't play ice hockey and wrestle moose. It is worth less than an American quarter. You gave it to me because you didn't want it. Did you really think I would want it?
-September is Red Cross National Preparedness Month. I had something I wanted to say about this topic but I forgot what it was.
-The Buffalo News has a column called the lighter side where they share their lame attempt at humor. Not a very good idea, especially when you're not that funny. The other day they were making a joke about football player Reggie Bush breaking his leg. They said he was posing for the Heisman Trophy. A professional athlete's season is over because of a serious injury and the News finds this funny why? Did they ever notice that the players don't stand around and tell jokes when one of their teammates or opponents is injured?
-Some people might not like what I write on here. So sorry. That's fine. I don't work for them. In fact, these entitled ham and eggers(Rocky term)have been against me for some time. I have no problem with that. I meet people one on one and let them decide for themselves their opinion of me. I was reminded of them when I heard this quote in a movie recently, "You stop telling lies about me and I'll stop telling the truth about you."
-Burger King is starting to get serious about promoting their breakfast menu. Way to be on top of things over there. Someone must have stood up at a meeting and said, "Hey, you know McDonalds makes a lot of money selling hot cakes. Do you think we could too?"
-Go forth and sin no more. And see a doctor if your erection lasts longer than four hours.
I was surprised to hear about this new political party, the Freedom Party, in today's Buffalo News. Fed up with the Democrats and Republicans', this new group feels that both major parties have taken minority groups for granted...
Eva M. Doyle, a retired Buffalo Public Schools teacher who has emerged as the party's candidate for lieutenant governor, says the party aims to put the state's entire political structure on notice.
"If I listen to both candidates, I'm not hearing them address any issues pertaining to the working class, poor people or urban communities," she said Monday. "That's why I'm running for lieutenant governor."
The Freedom Party qualified for the statewide ballot in August when it submitted 45,300 petition signatures for its formation, while only 15,000 were required.
Getting three times the required signatures is pretty impressive. It will be interesting to see if this group can catch lightning in a bottle or just become one of the many other fringe groups (see the Green Party) that have no real affect on anything. I can't disagree with their premise. Both major parties promise everyone the world and then take care of the special interest groups (the guys with the money).
"The idea behind [the Freedom Party] was the time of being ignored is over. When Cuomo picked his group, he totally ignored blacks," Kirkland said. "But Paladino has sort of changed things in that Cuomo thought it would be a cake walk to [Albany], and he didn't need the black vote. Now that Paladino is closing that gap and came out of nowhere, every black vote Cuomo gets, he needs."
While the party is beginning to gain more notice, the Cuomo camp is dismissing Barron and his ticket as "extremists."
If they can get a small percentage of the vote in November, this could only hurt Andrew Cuomo and help Paladino. It will be something to watch out for.
This is great. My signs made it onto NY 1, a New York City news station. They're starting to appear everywhere along with the bumper stickers and the t-shirts. Here is the picture as it appears in NY 1's website. Watch the video on the link for some other great shots of my signs. I love it!
I guess this was a nice gesture but I'm getting a little sick of these "heartwarming" stories. When the kid with autism made all the three pointers in Rochester, that was cool. Shooting a three point basket takes considerable skill (even if they let you shoot).
In this clip, a high school team lets an opponent with Down Syndrome score a 51 yard touchdown. Listen to the announcer: "I am misty eyed. That is absolutely so wonderful." Please. It would have been hilarious had some jerk on the other team, grabbed the ball out of his hands and run the other way. The ensuing brawl would have been worth the price of admission. If I was the ref, I would have called a holding penalty on the offense just to confuse everyone.
Dug's Dive owner Tucker Curtin wants to keep the popular restaurant open year round. The NFTA is dragging it's feet and giving him the runaround.
Score another one for the NFTA. The owner of Dug's Dive, the popular restaurant located at the small boat harbour, wants to keep it open year round. Instead of celebrating this as great news for the waterfront, the NFTA appears to be acting as an obstructionist...
The owner of Dug's Dive wants to keep the Small Boat Harbor restaurant open year-round, but claims his plans are being thwarted by his landlord, the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority.
Tucker Curtin, who operates Dug's Dive under an agreement with the NFTA, said he has approached the authority with what he contends is a viable offer to keep the restaurant open after the boating season ends.
But NFTA officials, while saying they share Curtin's interest in seeing Dug's Dive become a year-round operation, also said they need to work out an agreement that would cover all of their costs before that could happen.
The result is a stalemate that, for now, is putting Curtin's plans in limbo as the boating season comes to a close within the next month. Curtin said he needs an agreement soon if he is going to keep the restaurant open beyond its traditional October closing date.
"I just don't understand it," Curtin said.
The NFTA has outlived it's usefullness on the waterfront. It's time for them to step away so real progress can occur. I've been to Dug's Dive several times. It's a nice restaurant. Cut the red tape and let this private businessman make some money. I know you guys wouldn't know anything about taking any risks, since most of your jobs are appointed. Give Curtin an answer so he can keep the doors open.

From WKBW channel 7: A 35 year old woman from Michigan was arrested for traveling to Williamsville to hook up with a teenager she met online while playing the internet game World of Warcraft. The woman is charged with enticing a minor to engage in sexual activity. The defense is claiming innocence citing the fact that nobody playing World of Warcraft has ever had sex with anyone.
The FBI is not identifying the victim but our sources have obtained this photo from an anonymous source:

A 64 year old man was arrested at the downtown bus station for using the bathroom. There are two sides to every story and I expect the truth lies somewhere in between...
Enoch “Edsil” Cook said he was arrested for using the facility without being a bus rider that day, and for parking his bicycle in an unauthorized spot.
“[Cook] has been observed repeatedly lingering and loitering around the building. The officer’s job is to keep the building safe for our customers,” said NFTA spokesman C. Douglas Hartmayer. Others say the transit officer overreacted.
“I can think of no reason that a person in passing could not use a public facility that was open to the general public,” said John A. Curr III, director of the New York Civil Liberties Union’s Buffalo office. “I get really upset when police are targeting poor people.”
If the man was panhandling, I can see them asking him to leave. However, if he was just there to use the bathroom and not bother anyone, I think the police overreacted. Being poor is not a crime. However, downtown is filled with loiterers. Ellicott, Elm, and Allen Streets being among the worst. You can't walk two blocks without being approached for money. I'd like to see the police focus on the people smashing car windows and taking things out of them. They should be sent away for longer than they are (if they are even caught). But a 64 year old man on a bicycle should be allowed to use the restroom, in my opinion as long as he's not harassing others.
A group of swingers tried to have a party tonight at the Lockport Fire Hall. They were rejected at the last minute when the Fire Company learned of their plans...
A sex party that had been scheduled at the South Lockport Volunteer Fire Hall on Transit Road for Saturday night was canceled after the fire company's board of directors learned about the plans for the event.
"The swingers party will not be going forward," said attorney Steven M. Cohen, who represents the volunteer fire company.
According to Cohen, a man filled out an application on Aug. 30 to rent one of the two fire halls for what was billed as a "family party."
Party planners were calling for some nontraditional events...
The party had a scavenger hunt theme, dubbed "Welcome to the Jungle." Among activities listed was "Truth or Dare."
An e-mail that had been sent to party guests described "two private on-site locations for use" of "adult" and "extreme" activities. Guests also were invited to rent rooms at a group rate at a nearby Holiday Inn.
Welcome to the jungle? I don't even want to know what that means? So, if you're looking for a good time tonight, head to Lockport. You might run into your favorite judge, teacher, or former Governor.
I thought this was pretty neat. Jack Quavis runs the Taylor Mae'd Barbershop in Blasdell. He enjoyed listening to his customer's opinionated rants so much, he began filming them and putting them on his blog...
"I'm tired of the average person not being heard," he said. "At the barber shop, guys will open up. Everybody's eager to talk about something." Politics, though often a taboo subject at social events and many workplaces, is the topic of choice in his shop, said Quavis.
You got to love it. He's combining cutting hair with a form of therapy. Don't get any ideas Tony Scaccia, Jr. Actually, I think I'd pay to hear some of Tony's customers'rants from Seneca St. CNN recently did a story on Quavis. Here is the link: http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/10/07/barbershop.irpt/. I found some footage of a guy I plan on refering to Jack's shop: About ABU (For New Visitors)
Some dirtbags carjacked a West Seneca man on the West Side. Apparently, they weren't too choosy on the vehicle, a 1992 Subaru Legacy. The victim escaped on foot (and outran his car for the first three miles)... West Seneca man, 29, is victim of carjacking
A West Seneca man was the victim of a carjacking at 11:30 a. m. Wednesday on Forest Avenue near the intersection of Grant Street, according to Buffalo police.
Christopher A. Kosowski, 29, told police he was driving on Forest when one of two men opened the door of his vehicle, dragged him out of it and then attacked him before fleeing in his 1992 white, four-door Subaru Legacy.

In a classy gesture towards Trent Edwards, 97 Rock changed the name of Edward St. to Fitzpatrick St. Mayor Brown gave them permission to do this. It's good to see Urkel is dealing with important issues affecting our community. Meanwhile, gangs on the West and East sides continue to run the city...
You demanded bumper stickers. We got them. Show your support for Carl Paladino and your dismay for the prospect of another 12 year Cuomo reign by purchasing some of these. Let's spread the word all over New York State...
Prince Andrew is coming to Buffalo tonight. He will be at some fancy restaurant on Delaware Ave. meeting with Len Lenihan and his evil friends. Where is my invitation? It must have gotten lost in the mail. Oh, It's $1,000 a plate? I wonder if they let you keep the plate? For that price, it should be made of gold...
BUFFALO(wned) - Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Cuomo will be in Buffalo Friday for his first area visit since Buffalo developer Carl Paladino's upset win the Republican Primary. Paladino has been dogging Cuomo, challenging the frontrunner to a debate. Though Cuomo continues to be evasive on the matter, he told an Albany radio station that he would meet Paladino if their respective campaigns could come to an agreement on the details of the debate.
Cuomo will be in Buffalo Friday for a reported $1,000-per-person fundraiser.
This was a funny story from channel 7. Assembly speaker Sheldon Silver said if Carl Paladino wins the governor's race, people should consider leaving the state. Paladino responded by buying him a one way, $75 Amtrak ticket to Washington D.C.. It is dated for November 3rd, 2010. I don't know what Silver is waiting for. He might as well leave now. Win or lose, this is a movement generated by Paladino and Silver's days in Albany are numbered either way. The people are finally beginning to smarten up on career criminals like Silver. It is much bigger than the Tea Party Movement. There are Democrats and Republicans sick of the way New York has been mismanaged by Cuomo I, Wacky Pataki, Client #9, and the current drug addict serving as governor.
Personally, I think Amtrak is too good for Silver. Paladino should have bought him a Megabus ticket and had him seated next to some smelly, overweight, obnoxious Irishman...
If you can stand listening to client #9 for two minutes, watch at 2:30 where he says Andrew Cuomo is a "nasty pol". He adds that Cuomo was the guy with "brass knuckles" when his daddy was governor. This is going to be so funny when little Andrew doesn't get his way and has one of his meltdowns. Can someone tell me again why CNN feels the need to put this pervert on the air?
Several members of the 10th Street gang were arrested today along with members of the 7th Street gang. The two gangs are arch rivals.(When we were kids, we played football and street hockey against other streets but shootings rarely took place after games.)
I feel sad for the young woman in this clip who just wants to live without bullets flying by her child. I never knew La Nova Pizzeria was right in the middle of gang territory. I knew it was a bad neighborhood but not this bad. They probably carry Uzis in the back of the restaurant.
I think the Buffalo Police should pull a "Superintendent Williams" and just rename the streets (Williams is famous for renaming poorly performing schools so they don't lose their funding). Maybe the gang members would all become law abiding citizens and go off to college, if they just changed the name of 10th Street to The 10th Street of Excellence and Higher Achievement...
