As of this morning, and after complaining to news media that if he votes in favor his father will never speak to him again, the SWSNBN is still a little loose. In a NY Post article this morning he said, “I’m glad that we have some religious carve-outs … [...]

News That Matters – Friday, May 13, 2011 – Things To Do Edition

Everyone has had their panties wadded up over the Marcellus shale for the past couple of years and that’s not even nearby. But as it turns out there’s another layer of shale that is under our very feet, the Utica Shale formation, and that one is next in line for deeper drilling and hydrofracking. I’m willing to bet Putnam County government is already preparing plans to allow that where it underlies Putnam Valley and Philipstown. [...]

News That Matters – Friday, April 29, 2011 – Things To Do Edition

Back in the day when we were kids and you had your lunch money stolen you’d run home and tell your mom who would call the other kid’s mom who would say, “My son would never do such a thing!” Then she’d smack the crap out of him, not necessarily for the alleged crime but for dragging her in to it. If the offenders parent had a conscience they’d show up at your front door, kid in tow, to offer an apology. Usually that was the end of it. [...]

Lastly this Friday morning, over the past few weeks I have managed to offend Democrats, Republicans, Arabs, Israeli’s, a single Irish woman and others too numerous to list. If I have not offended you I apologize for the oversight so please let me know so I can get you on the list. So much political correctness, so little time! [...]

Dan Bern With Common Rotation. A rare New York performance by this mid-western singer-songwriter. Dan has worked with Putnam County’s Jonathan Demme, writing original songs for Demme’s off-Broadway production of “Family Week”, which included a duet with Emmylou Harris. And if you’ve ever seen, “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” you were listening to Dan’s songs. [...]

During the film crew’s three days aboard the sloop, they experienced firsthand our educational programs in the company of girl scouts, international students and groups ranging in age from 4th grade through college.
