Decisions, decisions.



Poor Sean Patrick Maloney.

The Satmar, who reject the existence of Israel, are pushing him to stay away from Netanyahu's address to Congress.

The NeoCons, who want a war with Iran, are pushing him to attend.

Which reactionaries should he listen to?

Um, Mr. Giuliani...?

Rudy Giuliani has criticized Obama for being "anti-colonialist."

Isn't that supposed be a good thing?

Because, Dixie



So, we had Washington's Birthday.

Then a bunch of the country wanted to celebrate Lincoln's Birthday.

But the South refused.

So, eventually...President's Day.

And that, my child, is why there is no workshop session preliminary whosis tonight.

So come back Thursday.

Something To Do While Waiting To Freeze To Death

Rolling Stone ranked all the SNL cast members from the past 40 years.

Personally I'd put Victoria Jackson and Colin Quinn at 141 and 140, but they did't disagree that much.

Your thoughts?

Yes, I Know



It's been a little while since I've posted anything.

I'm busy burning the furniture to keep warm.

So, unless something momentous happens or until Elsa gets her stuff under control...

It's Mine, All Mine!



At last night's town board meeting, Ralph tried, again, to get his changes to procurement policy pushed through.  As before, this would take power from the rest of the board and from the department heads and give it all to, surprise, the supervisor.

The majority of the board (but not Lyn) said what they said last time: No.

Ralph then said but that's what they do in Chester and Crawford and Cornwall and New Windsor and Blooming Grove and Warwick and Highland.  They do it, why can't we, huh, huh, please, give me power!

Without Ralph's new procurement policy, Woodbury is keeping the policy as it's been for years.

It was then moved that the old policy be updated to name Ralph as supervisor.  Ralph voted no.  It then had to be explained to him.

As part of Ralph's justification for changing the procurement policy he slammed (without naming him) the Chief, for buying a new desk to replace a broken one.

When it was his turn to comment the Chief hit Ralph (again, without naming him) for leaving his car parked on Route 32 during the snow emergency.

This comes after reports that Ralph tried to strong arm the chief into giving plum overtime assignments to Ralph's favorites and to move the servicing of police cars from Harriman Auto to McKenzie motors.

It doesn't look like a love match.

By the way Ralph, it's LIBRARY not LIBERRY.  (Yeah, yeah, I know, small point, but it still sounds dumb.)
