In Mala Fide

That’s my ruder rendition of the headline of this bit of feminist triumphalism in the Albany Times Union on how women are taking over New York state politics: ALBANY — Liz Krueger, a Manhattan Democrat in charge of recruiting candidates to expand her party’s majority in the state Senate, had a simple message for the [...]

The biggest case of politics-related blue balls in New York state history is over: Andrew Cuomo jumps into the gubernatorial race with this 21-minute video, just released by his campaign. Cuomo sketches out the major themes of his campaign by detailing dysfunction and corruption in Albany at times “could even make Boss Tweed blush.” “Manhattan’s [...]

Chateau – “The State + Women = Boot Stamping on a Beta Face“, “It May Be Better to Game in Small Groups“, “Ass Saving and Wife Taming” Max – “The Awful Truth” Chuck Ross – “Stupid Female Advice: Christina Hendricks Edition“, “Feminist Method Acting Minus the Method“, “Some Aspects of Game Teaching Are Wrong” Hawaiian [...]

I heard this on Rush Limbaugh’s show during my lunch break and couldn’t stop laughing. Here is Eric Massa, former representative from New York’s 29th congressional district, describing his gym shower encounter with Rahm Emanuel: Bahahahaha!

I report at The Spearhead on a recent case of Democratic and Republican congresswomen coming together through sexism.

Ironic left this comment on yesterday’s post on the rich being chased out of the Capital District’s cities: A more accurate representation would be forcing the slave-owner to live on the slave plantation THAT HE OWNS. And I think that is a SWELL idea. They too should enjoy the Good Times their immigration, welfare, and [...]

There’s not going to be an LIGFY next week, so you better make this one last. New blood first: Chic Noir gives surprising accurate dating rules for men. Michael Wears a Hat states the benefits men get from cradle robbing. Thras critiques Half Sigma’s opinion on abortion. Also check out J R’s and DaveinHackensack’s blogs. [...]

First, Albany: If Mayor Jerry Jennings is to forge his legacy in the coming four years, he will do it surrounded by new faces in City Hall. Jennings, 60, rolled to re-election Tuesday night, two months after having survived his most serious Democratic primary challenge from Councilman Corey Ellis, who continued in the general election [...]

I wrote this back in July when Dede Scozzafava was nominated by the Republicans to run in the NY-23 special election: In endorsing candidates like Dede Scozzafava, the Republicans manage to pull a two-fer; they alienate their core conservative constituents while failing to win over demographics that have no interest in supporting them to begin with.
