Starman,

The fact is, he did leave Bain in 1999 as an active CEO/President. It took three years ( until 2002 not 2005) before his name was removed, due to government regulations. Still, even if your facts were correct, he had nothing to do with Bain in 2008 which still leaves the question, why was he even mentioned?

I drive past the thing every weekday and most weekends. I really don't ever notice it. In fact, until now, I didn't even know what it was. I think McCarthy is being a horses butt on this one.

You can always hook up the laptop to your TV or get a $20-$40 digital/HD indoor antenna and hook it up. The whole idea of WTEN or any other local station charging rebroadcast fees is idiotic in the first place.

Why in the world would it cost $2.9 million to maintain the current status quo? I think it is time to allow your average homeowner to sit in on the negotiations with teachers union so that we can have an input on what our money is being spent on.

One vote yea or nay is not input.
It appears that most of the cost increase in contractual. Who agreed to these contracts?

Sounds like a winner to me.

So why after only 8 or so hours was the dog dehydrated and looked to not have eaten for a week? I don't buy the loving family part of this story.

I worked for this museum in 1994-95. The museum's existence was mostly paid for by the taxpayers through a legislative grant. My salary was paid for by a grant through another source. Pataki was elected and cut the funding for the museum and I was let go. I am just wondering where most of the funding is coming from for the museum now.

Are you kidding me? This is ridiculous. It is bad enough that most Capital District department stores don't carry Mets apparel. Now they are taking away the Mets game on the radio. Total BS.

Chances are better than not that the protestors from MoveOn were bused in and don’t even live in Saratoga County or any of the counties in which Gibson represents. These folks are fanatical liberal radicals that think the government should tax the rich and give to those who don’t want to work for a living.

No doubt there are needy people out there and help is available. Let us remember that 47% of the working population in this country pays no federal income taxes. You want fair? Change the tax codes so that everyone pays something. It is those with no stake in the economy that do most of the complaining.

I have to agree with robbump, but I also don't understand the threats. I am 58 years old and have no tattoos. I have been thinking long and hard about getting one though. (I think I am having a midlife crisis) Anyway, it is this kind of mob mentality of the "professionals" that makes me think twice. It makes me think that these folks are not stable and the stigma that goes along with tattoos may be more fact than fiction.
