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. [...]

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. [...]

After years of protest, hard work, sponsor boycotts and the like, Glenn Beck’s ratings are no longer as high as an elephant’s eye, and the elephant is a little ashamed at the connection. It’s gotten so bad that even Putnam’s own right-wing media demagogue, Roger Ailes, is happy to see the Beckster make a rapid departure from the scene – but with a caveat. [...]

NY State Senator Greg Ball has resigned his seat in order to, as he said, “Put my best efforts towards representing the people of this district in the Congress of the United States.” Addressing a hastily organized press conference just outside the Senate chambers, Mr. Ball said that while his election to the Senate was the defining moment of his life, he felt that he could do a better job for his constituents in Washington and not in Albany and challenged Nan Hayworth on her loyalty to the Republican party and its ideals.

I say, tax the rich which a growing number of GOPers are finally agreeing including State Senator John Bonacic. And I say, stop returning to Wall Street the $13 billion collected each year in stock transfer taxes. And if the rich don’t like it, qu’ils mangent de la brioche or we can eat them. [...]

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! [...]
