Top Three Lines: Carolina Hurricanes 4, Buffalo Sabres 2
on Friday, January 6th, 2012
1) It’s no surprise that Lindy Ruff keeps trying to prop up Ryan Miller — who again was ordinary-at-best tonight — because the only way to consistently win hockey games without good center play is with an A-plus goaltender. 2) Really, you can’t even adopt the “Where’s the leadership?” line because Thomas Vanek and Jason [...]
A Nightmare On One Bills Drive
on Friday, January 6th, 2012
A while back I touched on how stupid it would be on behalf of the entire Buffalo Bills organization to allow Steve Johnson to walk away. Well here it is I find myself having the same converstion with you the reader(s) about an equally (if not more) important (key) player in the Bills quest to return to the post season. I think that even the great Stevie Wonder can see the importance of the Bills giving Jackson a contract extension. How anybody can fix their mouth to say different is beyond me, Jackson’s body of work speaks for itself as [...]

Macroeconomics, WNY and Wind Power
on Friday, January 6th, 2012
Graph by Jerome Guillet, from Long Introduction Macroeconomics is so important, and generally so misunderstood, especially by right wing economists and associated business types. But rather than launch into the topic full tilt, there are a few important aspects of it that are relevant to …

NBC’s “The Firm” Is On Shaky Ground
on Friday, January 6th, 2012
By the law of averages, you might think that NBC would get a new legal drama right. Think again when it comes to “The Firm,” a laughable update of the John Grisham best seller and subsequent movie that premieres at 9 p.m. Sunday on Channel 2. I wanted to love it. But despite an [...]

Wegmans Returns Baldwin Ads
on Thursday, January 5th, 2012
Put this one in the ”bad idea” category: It turns out more customers were upset with Wegmans for pulling the ads than were bothered by the recent controversy surrounding him. “Clearly, many more people support Alec, as evidenced by the hundreds and hundreds of tweets, …
Tyvek (Or: A post that doesn’t talk about Kickstarter at all, except right there)
on Thursday, January 5th, 2012
Building coolers yourself is hard work. It will be worth it in the end, especially because I’ll be able to say “Hey, see that? I helped make that.” As someone who does not self-identify as “handy,” this is a nifty proposition. (It is worth noting, however, that I received a wet-dry vacuum from my wife [...]
