It's time to begin to identify the incumbents in each elected office to be voted upon this November. From state to local offices, even the Childrens Court Judge who lives next door, make a list of the incumbents, along with their opponents, then vote for whomever runs against the incumbent this fall. If the incumbent is unopposed, plan to write in the words "Fix Government." Not voting, whining and wringing your hands, or bitching to your neighbor won't get it done. For the next two or three years New Yorkers must make a concentrated effort to oust ALL incumbents as a tactic to send the message we demand elected officials who will work together (currently an oxymoron in NYS politics) to address the problems of NYS. Fix Government

For me, there is no such thing as a favorite Teddy story. It appears to me that he was a senior partner in Dewey, Screwem & Howe.

Rudy clearing the way for NY governor run
Keukasmallies replied to UConn James's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Rudy would be OK because he isn't an incumbent. Remember, now is the time to identify the NYS elected official incumbents, and mark your calendars to be sure to vote against each and every one. None of this mamby pamby "Our guy is fine, it's those downstaters...." Vote 'em all OUT. New mantra: Turn 'em out 'til they do what the voters want done. -
She is holding a telephone town meeting on the health care bill because she can "reach so many more people" and she heard that at one of the town meetings in the midwest someone had a gun, so she's concerned about safety. Yeah, and then there's the parking thing.... Just another schlub at the public trough. Remember her when the time comes to turn out ALL incumbents.

I'm thinkin' it's only a hop, skip and a jump from NYC to MA; how 'bout Caroline Schlossberg?

Louise Slaughter
Keukasmallies replied to Philly McButterpants's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Weezy is just an old broad who can't stand to think she will soon be out of the limelight. If you don't agree with her, she "hangs up" on you either literally or figuratively. -
Mr. Duffus strikes again...
Keukasmallies replied to 1billsfan's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Maybe the President and Vice President Bluster could sit down in a "beer summit" with the Postmaster General and fix some things, sort some packages, etc.... -
Good Ol' Bill, still hasn't lost it

Think there's a chance Billy-guy took a shot at 'em on the plane? -
Let's keep beating the dead horse

If there's anything governments can do it is to perfect the development of fertilizer--pellitized, verbal, or otherwise. -
Most Ethical Congress EVER!

In the four word title for this post, which two make up the most perfect oxymoron ever written? -
Cash for Clunkers goes...thud
Keukasmallies replied to ThereIsNoDog's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
At one point this spring an "idea" was making the rounds of blogs, forwards, etc that proposed the government should give every person over fifty-five a million dollars...with three conditions: First, each person would have to buy a car (thus solving the crisis in the auto industry), pay off their mortgage (thus addressing the housing and some banking issues), and, finally, pay off their credit card debt (thus...you get the picture). Well, with the apparent success of the cash-for-clunkers money, that so-called idea that made the rounds earlier doesn't sound so silly any more.... It sure would have been cheaper than the house of cards that Congress and the President constructed. -
As I collate the responses from y'all to my original questions I'm left with what I feared all along was the answer: No way in Hell can the laws be proactively enforced. The laws, designed to promote safety on the road, can/will only be applied, in the vast majority of instances, after the event one hopes to avoid happens! Have a spare minute, thank a legislator for adding to the volume of unenforcable legislation on the books. Looks good during the next campaign, though--five young women killed in the Rochester area, texting may have been a contributing factor, so pass a law and sing its praises through the towns. AAAAAaaaarrrrggggggghhhhhhhhh!

Harvard Scholar Arrested for Being Black
Keukasmallies replied to Fingon's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
This post is double digit pages long because no one has the cojones to refocus on the fat-thighed, bug-eyed, carpetbagging SOB former NYS Senator who is now masquerading as our foreign policy dispenser. Even the NK's mustered up the moxie to label her not intelligent and school girl-like. God, she's aawful. -
So when Hill'ry turned her back on NYS for almost three years during the run-up and then the campaign for the Democratic nomination she was a multi-tasking woman of the 21st Century. When Sarah Palin climbs aboard the VP express for six months, she's investigated for dereliction of duty and misuse of state officials. Gee, go figure....

Sotomayor hearings begin
Keukasmallies replied to Bishop Hedd's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Sonia Sotomayor--love her or hate her--must be totally nonplussed being questioned by newly-seated Senator Frankbooben. He certainly takes office bearing an impressive list of legislative accomplishments and a long history of senatorial task maturity. AArrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh! -
Smoking Ban In Military Proposed
Keukasmallies replied to Bill from NYC's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
"I think the government would do a much better job of running health care than ANY company whose main concern is their bottom line. Read that carefully before you respond." Who are you kidding? The government can't even do a good job running the government--you know, the company where our welfare is the bottom line! -
Federal Web sites knocked out by cyber attack

Damn that Laura Bush -
So, Hill'ry quits her US Senator from NYS position de facto two years ago to run for President; then quits de jure to accept the SecState position and she's a wily political veteran. Sarah Palin quits her position as Governor and she is dumber than a rock....? Same ol, same ol to me. How are the citizens who listened to their campaign promises, accepted their candidates beliefs and then voted being served by the person for whom they voted?

I celebrated LGBTPM by slappin' the ol' Louisville Slugger around.

So, I'm thinkin' we set it up on the order of America's Greatest Legislators, have a Hollywood-type screening process, vote a la American Idol, MLB All-Star voting, etc., then.... Aw crap, skip it, that's what we have now....

Al Franken becomes Senator
Keukasmallies replied to stuckincincy's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
VABills hit it right on the head--just another comedian in office. Of course, he will compliment, on the national level, the entire comedy troupe that seeks to inhabit the NYS Senate chambers.... Jesus, Al %$(&ing Franken! -
SCOTUS Rules in Favor of New Haven Firefighters
Keukasmallies replied to BillsNYC's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
As a high school principal, I used to marvel at the non-English speaking families that moved into the district then enjoyed one or more of their children succeeding as valedictorian, honor student, etc. three or four years later. Sure looked like parental influence to me....
