The number of local television viewers who left the Buffalo Bills bandwagon Sunday was as large as the voters who abandoned former County Executive Chris Collins on Election Day. The Bills’ 44-7 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Channel 4 had a season-low 29.2 rating and 50 share of the audience despite the appearance of [...]

I’ve been thinking about the County Executive’s race all week, and I can’t seem to crystallize my thoughts into a coherent post, so here you go.

I spent the last week alternating between freezing and cooking on a table of high desert in a corner of New Mexico, just north of El Paso and the big bend of the Rio Grande. The northernmost finger of the expansive Chihuahuan Desert, this is a land of yuccas and scrubs, crusted-over mud that devolves into baby powder [...]

I heard the Sabres/Bruins postgame show and heard the uproar over Milan Lucic running Ryan Miller and Buffalo’s lack of proper response. If you missed it, you can watch it before we go on: Now I’m not going to take more than a paragraph or two to wrap up what happened because there’s a killer [...]

Real cowboys: awesome.
Dallas Cowboys: not-so-much.
Rapping Cowboys: Yeesh.
Rapping about Cowboys: somewhat acceptable.

The Buffalo News reports that Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown sponsored a job fair, which attracted 1,500 people. While politicians have very little to do with creating jobs, they are all feeling the heat from an angry public seeking employment. While I applaud the Mayor for trying to help, the truth is that job fairs are [...]

The days immediately following an election are the days in which we search for the mandate of the people in the election results.
