Pataki Plays Hardball

Patakistein needs to understand he is WASHED UP if he does want to be a player again then run for the Senate against “King” Brekfast, Lunch & Dinner Schumer and redeem himself otherwise GET LOST.

Before there was the “Oracle at Delphi” there was Count Vampire J. Machiavelli

No More Schumer, Pelosi, Rangel,Engel, and Arthur Finkelstein & Co
“After Four Years of Scandals it is time for Levy/Faso/Callaghan/Garcia”

Pataki is like Spitzer and Bruno — all three utterly failed the people of New York, all three between them don’t have a clue that they did, and all three think they were treated unfairly.

Pataki was the Huge Disappointment as Governor, but he thinks he saved us all. He followed Cuomo’s lead in raising taxes, giving us bloated budgets we cannot afford, and chasing business out of NY. He and his BFF Arthur Finkelstein should join Spitzer and Bruno in the Hall of Shame.

Gov. Pataki has no interest in running for the Senate seat.
He would like to be Pres., and he will survey the terrain in Iowa during the coming months.

Happy Mother’s Day weekend to all.
The tulips are in bloom in the capital city.
The legislature is out of town.
The great city of Saratoga is booming.
Hopefully the sun will shine on all of us later today.
I caught PBS’s “Need to Know” premier last night. It replaces NOW and Bill Moyers Journal.
I liked it.
Co-hosts Alison Stewart and Jon Meacham did a good job.
I’d give it a B+. 4 of 5 stars.
They seem to have some money for this series; and the producers traveled to different locations.
It is sorta of a more hip 60 minutes.
The segments on Gulf oil exporation;gun advocates; and the 50th anniversary of the Pill were well done.
The interviews with Mayor Bloomberg and Pres. Clinton added a nice touch.
They even have humorist Andy Borowitz giving a preview of next week’s news. His online report is generally funny; and he repeated many of the themes he has originally used.
Humor has a big appetite.
Borowitz is a hip Andy Rooney.
As they say, Rooney is 150 yrs. old; and he keeps talking about his desk stapler.
Kudos to all for a good start.

Humorist Garrison Keillor was in Times Square last Sat. and was actually unaware of the car bomb hullabullo.
His description of Times Square is worth reading:

” I’m fond of Times Square, which is an out-of-body experience offered for free to the general public, the colossal flash and razzmatazz of 10-story LED hi-def imagery rolling and bouncing among the JumboTrons and billboards in the glass canyons above the statue of Father Duffy by the TKTS booth. It is pure hullabaloo, millions in advertising canceling itself out by sheer overload, and one block away is beautiful Bryant Park and the serene reading rooms of the New York Public Library, where, for all you know, the scholarly gentleman across the table from you may be studying the art of explosives. It’s a free country….”

There is a lot of rudeness in our society.
A lot of pushing and shoving.
And I blame it all on El Rushbo.
Garrison Keillor also has described traditional middle-age virtues that is very good:

“These little lessons seem to push a person toward a modest, pragmatic view of life and those dull virtues that we rebelled against back in our salad days — don’t run in the dark, don’t be a jerk, get over yourself, do your work, avoid self-pity, pay attention, know that the law of gravity applies to you too, and hang onto your old friends because there may come a day when there’s no good reason for people to like you except out of habit. These are sensible virtues of middle-class people that strike you in middle age as vital to the preservation of life. You don’t have to be so smart to make your way through adult life, but you should know the basic rules…”

And speaking of humorist Borowitz, his latest is a good one, methinks.

SANTA CRUZ (The Borowitz Report) – Study of the Neanderthal genome at UC Santa Cruz has revealed that mating between humans and Neanderthals may explain one of science’s most persistent mysteries: the existence of Glenn Beck.

“We believe that sex between a human and a Neanderthal may have resulted, some fifteen thousand years later, in several of the Fox News Channel’s primetime hosts, including Glenn Beck,” said a leading genetic researcher at the university.

But while sex between humans and Neanderthals may explain the existence of the controversial Fox host, other mysteries remain, the researcher said: “While it is likely that a human would have sex with a Neanderthal, it is unclear who would have sex with Glenn Beck.”

The discovery that Neanderthals and humans mated fifteen thousand years ago took many scientists by surprise: “Previously, we thought the first time this occurred was on on ‘Jersey Shore.’”

The sun is on my shoulders in the great city of Saratoga.
Former Mayor Koch was in Albany this week. He seems to be in fairly good health.
His campaign to have reapportionment taken out of the hands of the politicians is a daydream. Won’t happen.
How is Former Gov. Hugh Carey doing following open-heart surgery?
If Joe Bruno goes to prison, would he be eligible for parole in less than a year?
And why did Judge Sharpe impose 3 years of supervised propation following prison? Is Bruno some type of risk to society? Is Sharpe qualified to serve on the federal bench? I am going to do a google search on his background.

goodness, Dr. C., you sure are the King of the non-sequitor. How many blogs do you post the same thing on?

Limppaw is scum. Why anyone listens to that imbecile is beyond me. What a fool.

Pataki has always wanted to be all things to all polls. Now he wants to be Limbaugh light.
