The Three Stooges: Tim Kennedy, Brian Higgins, and Steve Pigeon

I put together this short clip on Erie County Legislator Tim Kennedy who is being led by the nose and financially supported by Steve Pigeon. Recently, the two were seen eating pizza in the Main Place Mall Food Court (where the hell was my camera at the time?) I apologize for the rough transitions and the poor graphics in this clip. However, I'm sure regular readers of this blog have become used to them by now.

In all seriousness, I can tell you Tim Kennedy does not represent you or I. He represents Brian Higgins and a select group of union members. He recently supported Byron Brown over South Buffalo resident Mickey Kearns because he was told to do so. He has no mind of his own as you will soon see. Both Kearns and Mark Schroeder have chosen not to back Kennedy as his association with the notoriously corrupt Pigeon has people questioning his motives and integrity.

Pigeon & Kennedy: Working Against Your Best Interests

This editorial was in today's Buffalo News. It is from somebody very experienced in Buffalo backroom politics. It talks about how Tim Kennedy is working behind the scenes with Steve Pigeon. Just remember, if Steve Pigeon is involved, you know it is not in the best interest of local residents. If he's involved, it is to benefit Steve Pigeon and nobody else. The voters in South Buffalo are an open minded group. I believe they will see right through these two liars and be open to a protest candidate in this race.Just remember, they do not want ordinary citizens to be involved in the process. A vote for Kennedy is a vote for Pigeon and the status quo. Just remember, Brian Higgins and Tim Kennedy told you how great Bill Stachowski was just two years ago. This past year, they supported Byron Brown over one of your neighbors. Then, we all saw the South District get left out of Brown's spending plan and we have yet to hear a word about this from Higgins or Kennedy. Why anyone would support Kennedy is beyond me. Please don't be fooled by their lies.

Don't Let Kennedy Buy Stachowski's Seat

Erie County Legislator Tim Kennedy (pictured here) will be working with Steve Pigeon and spending Tom Golisano's money to try and buy your vote in 2010. Don't fall for it.

I read this article in Artvoice as I was preparing to line the bottom of my bird cage. Just kidding. I don't own a bird. The author, Jeremy Toth, gives his insight into the NY State Senate race shaping up in 2010. Senator Bill Stachowski is considered vulnerable. He barely escaped reelection last year with a slim victory over former Buffalo Police detective Dennis Delano. Toth, a self proclaimed political hack, describes the backroom deals going on in this race.

It looks like the antichrist Steve Pigeon is working with Brian Higgins to try and overthrow Stachowski. Pigeon, Tom Golisano's human ATM, wants to control the Senate. Higgins wants to control the Erie County Democratic Party. Both oppose the party's chairman Len Lenihan. Neither cares about you or I. This is evidenced by the fact they are considering running the disabled Tim Kennedy against Stachowski. You can bet Tom Golisano will write a blank check for Brian Higgin's intellectually challenged little hand puppet. Here's how Toth puts it in his article:

Democratic Legislator Tim Kennedy is at the heart of this particular conspiracy. He plans to run against State Senator Bill Stachowski, a fellow Democrat, who most people believe is weak and can be beaten in a primary. Kennedy will take his shot at the seat next year, whether or not Stachowski retires. But he needs money. In walks Pigeon with promises of Golisano money, and Kennedy is wrapped up like a Christmas present. Moreover, Kennedy’s political team, led by Congressman Brian Higgins, is looking to take out Len Lenihan as chairman of the Erie County Democratic Party, a goal Pigeon shares. What better way to weaken Lenihan than control the chair of the Democratic Legislature? It is a confluence of interests that puts Higgins and Kennedy on the same side as Pigeon.

I can tell you this. I don't care who runs. Tim Kennedy and Bill Stachowski are both gutless. Neither one respects volunteers in their district. I'm a reluctant protest candidate. I like working with kids and making fun of these idiots through satire. When I ran for Councilman in 2001, I didn't even know how to send an email and we got over 33% of the vote in a three person race against an entrenched incumbant. Now, I have well over 1,000 email contacts. My masters degree in Education and community involvement (19 years of coaching thousands) surpasses both of these fools. I can tie Stachowski to Albany corruption and 28 years of incompetence. Kennedy is a known Higgins stooge without a mind of his own. Higgins and Kennedy recently supported Byron Brown over one of their own neighbors. I believe the people of South Buffalo will not soon forget this. If not, it will be my job to remind them. Just remember. They do not want normal citizens to be part of the political process.
Why Pigeon Matters

What You Do in The Privacy of Someone Else's Home is Your Business, Steve...

The biggest weasel in Western New York, G. Steven Pigeon- Just look at this picture. Doesn't he look like a trustworthy guy? He was the guy in high school voted most likely to snitch on one of his classmates.

From today's Buffalo News: Apparently, a man keeps breaking into a Bidwell Ave. woman's apartment and wearing her lingerie. I wonder if it's the same cross dressing weirdo that robbed a pair of hot pink underwear at knifepoint from a Niagara St adult book store last week(???)


Buffalo News 11/5/09
Police are investigating the suspicions of a Bidwell Parkway woman who believes a man has been secretly visiting her apartment and wearing her nightclothes.
Police said the woman suspects four such visits over the last two weeks —the most recent Tuesday, when she discovered a coffee cup missing, and Wednesday, when she found her closet door opened, clothing on hangers moved and a bathrobe smelling of men’s cologne.


Buffalo police have not released the names of any suspects but a source close to the investigation claims that former Erie County Democratic Chairman G. Steven Pigeon has been labeled as a "person of interest".

Pigeon Droppings in Albany

The Buffalo News uses the word brazen. The Majority Leader of the New York Senate, Pedro (Don't call me Eric) Espada, has created a $70,000.00 no-show job for political hack David Pfaff. Pfaff's claim to fame is being friends with Steve Pigeon and Billionaire Tom Golisano. Remember, these were the same idiots that tried to give 'Baby Slow' Mesi his no-show job a few months ago. Golisano wouldn't pay one of the Sabres $70,000.00. Why should we pay one of his friends $70,000.00?

The job is being called an "upstate liason" to the Senate. Are you kidding me? That's what the people of Western New York elect their Senators to do. Entrenched Senators Bill Stachowski, Dale Volker, and Antoine Thompson were all 'elected' by the ignorant fraction of voters they call their constituents. Where do they stand on this ridiculous hire? They are all silent.

We tried to reach Senator Stachowski for comment. He was last seen on Route 5 asking motorists for directions to his Clinton St. office. Espada represents a poor district from the Bronx yet lives in an affluent New York suburb. Stachowski represents S. Bflo and Kaisertown yet lives in Lake View. The state is in great debt. All of us have paid the new fees created because of outrageous things like this. Please help spread the word and call for this new 'job' to be eliminated.

An outrageous hire*

Liars

If you ever doubted the Erie County D.A.'s office was political, read today's headline article in the Buffalo News. This story reminds me of an old adage. You can always tell when a politician is lying; their lips are moving.

Mark Sacha alleges that Steve Pigeon laundered a $10,000 contribution from former County Executive Joel Giambra to the campaign of former West Seneca Town Supervisor Paul Clark. Clark's campaign didn't want the public to know they were taking a donation from Giambra because Giambra was widely considered to be a leper by the general public.

I really don't have much more to say about this article but I just wanted to comment on some of the people mentioned in it:

Steve Pigeon- the consummate weasel. This guy is crazy. On Christmas Eve, when everyone else is with their families opening presents, Pigeon is sitting in a dark room by himself trying to figure out what he can do next to improve his standing in Erie County politics. LOSER. This guy was shoved into more than a few lockers in his day.

Paul Clark- He's the guy that had the commercial with all the little animated Keanes running around doing their government jobs. He reportedly likes to accept large amounts of money in paper bags at undisclosed locations. Equally despised by both West Seneca and Erie County voters.

James Keane- Came up from Florida in 2007 and pretended to care about Erie County in a desperate attempt to become County Executive. After calling each other names in the Democratic Primary for months, Keane and Paul Clark united in a much celebrated hugfest in which Clark endorsed Keane. Despite a 100,000 Democrat to Republican enrollment advantage, Keane managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and lost the general election. In subsequent interviews, Keane said he fell victim to the peoples disgust in career politicians. Not true. The people that knew him had simply grown tired of his walking vaudeville act. The voters said go back to Florida and this time, please stay there.

Joel Giambra-Mr. Red budget/Green budget himself. What more can I say about this knucklehead? If he shakes your hand, you better count how many fingers you have left.

Joseph Illuzi-Website promoter/ convicted bank robber. Paul Clark gave him $10,000 to perform a hatchet job on Keane. Illuzi runs a website where politicians pay him considerable amounts of money for "favorable coverage". He's a class act and a personal inspiration to me.

Frank Clark- One of the biggest phonies/grandstanders ever to hold office in this area. This clown loved to get on TV with his fake Brooklyn accent and do whatever he could to protect the status quo. Clark let a developmentally challenged man (Anthony Cappozzi) sit in a state prison, despite overwhelming DNA evidence clearing Cappozzi of the rape charges against him. Clark used concerns about his health to step down when he realized he was about to be exposed as a complete fraud. What happened Frankie? The old cop out, "I just want to spend more time with my family" was already taken?

These are just some of the people running your community. You couldn't make this stuff up. It makes you wonder why more young people aren't moving to the Carolinas...
