The tide is turning in New York State. The voters spoke in large numbers for a special election, the turnout was higher than in the past. Almost 10% in Nassau and Suffolk, 13% in Westchester, a seat held by democrats for 17 years and 6% in Queens. The Conservative voice is being heard. Thank you!

Anytime you think one vote does not count, remember the difference since Scott Brown was elected in Massachusetts. Again, the tide turns.

Chilling words from the UK in a report titled "The Oil Crunch -- A Wake Up Call for the Economy".

And E. J. McMahon warns of the fiscal problems the MTA is causing New Yorkers.

Is the "new" jobs bill a replay of a failed Carter idea?

The 21-day amendments to the Governor's budget include increasing the fees for selling wine in grocery stores. At the present time, grocery stores do not even sell wine, yet the 21-day amendments are counting in increased fees. Is this any way to balance a budget?

It truly saddens me that the newspapers are filled with articles about corruption, missing charity funds, poll watchers being paid, elected officials joining lawsuits after receiving contributions from the union filling the lawsuit and these are just a few of the articles. And we wonder why so many people do not want to vote. The problem is that by not voting we empower those who crave power. Times have not changed much when you consider this quote by Plato (427-347 BC) Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.

Just want we need, a national park in St. Croix that will cost taxpayers $50 million. I wonder how many junkets will be made to St. Croix to check on the national park? The Senate is yet to vote on this, so maybe we will be able to prevent it from happening.

Does the President really want to work with Republicans or is he just using the words he thinks we want to hear?

And do republicans really understand that we are opposed to earmarks?

Thankfully today is Tuesday and Thomas Sowell puts most of life into perspective.

While many of the blogs (since Friday) were waiting for a "big bombshell" from the New York Times regarding the Governor, the last laugh seems to be on them. No story today in the NY Times today and denials from the Governor's press office that his resignation is eminent. Could readership at the NY Times be that slow that they have to drive readers to them? Just remember, blogs, even when written by reporters, are not infallible.

Tax lessons for NY State.

The MTA out of control and here.

Too little, too late? Could it just be another photo-op for the President? Or will he really listen to those who have good ideas?

If you are not worried about our debt, read this.

Rep. John Murtha has passed.
