The best dinner food in the area if not the state and country if I may be that bold in my proclamation...

His brand of democratic leadership is a dying breed. We saw the city run for many years with greats like Erastus Corning and Tom Whalen lead Albany for many great years. Unfortunately, the new Democratic Party full of Socialist and Communist influenced Leftist's are going to be Albany's demise. Mr. Jennings, thank you for your years of service sir...

Its truly sad to see the fine area colleges and Universities have broken away from having commencement speakers that represent all areas of the cultural issues of past, present and future to that of those who are far Left and biased in their opinion of the people who make this country go. These people who are listed in this article are all Left wing wackos who hate this country and the people who the backbone of the US. These Leftist's mentioned here all hold the view and think that America is the evil force in the world to the US is responsible for stealing the wealth and natural resources of inferior countries who cannot compete against our military so through this distorted and cock-eyed view of the American Left towards this country and this nonsense they fill the heads of these young people is really shameful. Everyone of the mentioned guest speakers view the true American working and retired people who hold the traditional views of American values are at fault for what is wrong with the country and we are the cause of the world's problems. The President has even repeated this mantra many times where most recently he hammered it again at the Ohio State University commencement this past Sunday. If you dare to disagree with the American Left you are viewed as a racist, bigot, sexist and a homophobe. Just look at the issue of same sex marriage and how the Left has bastardized the word of marriage and the traditional nature of this contractual agreement that was meant to be between a man and a woman. So they need to redefine its nature so that it is fair and equal instead of being right and just. All of these commencement speakers will say that the young graduates can still make it in America so as long as they hold the hypocritical views of the Left. Then you are a cool cat just like the President and your a force for good.

These absentee landlords give a bad name to all of us landlords who are the decent ones and who keep their properties up to date so the city should go after these bums first before they start harassing the decent people.

Ms. Clough, if I may: The reason Andy Cuomo and his Nazi cohorts are candy-coating this horrific legislation is because they are cowards and must hide what their real intentions are. Just like all of the enlightened Liberals among us they must operate in the dark so they won't be exposed for their real agenda. The best analogy I can use to describe Andy Cuomo is that when you shine a light on rats in the dark they all scurry away in fear. This is what liberals do best. Because the people of this state would not support this law or the real agenda of this faux pas governor. Just look at the NY Safe Act that Andy had to rush through the Legislature so that no one in the public domain could take the time to properly evaluate it and stop it. Where currently the law is a bungled attempt to take away New Yorker's second amendment rights. Now it is a law that makes criminals out of every law enforcement officer in the state. The law has been suspended where the DA's around the state are backing away on the active enforcement of this ridiculous law. Does this example answer your dilemma on who the enlightened people are. Andy and his goose-steppers.

I have a suggestion for another assignment the Jewish students can be asked to give their opinion on and that is for them to write a composition essay explaining about how, why and the purpose for the Palestinians who reside in Israel have a credo written into their constitution and that is taught to the Palestinian school children to destroy Israel and eliminate the Jewish people in the land of Israel. Then the students are to show how and why the Palestinians behind the leadership of Nobel Peace award winner Yasir Arafat's 1979 Calafiate against the Jewish nation to ultimately push the Jewish people into the Mediterranean differs and contrasts from antisemitism the Nazi's had in creating Operation Reinhard and the 1935 Nuremberg Laws that relabeled the Jewish people in Germany as an in human subclass. Then show and contrast how these two forms of racism and bigotry are one in the same against people who despise and hate the people of the Jewish nation who by the way won control of this land on the battle field which by the way was started by the Arab nations in wars against Israel in 1948, 1967 and 1973....

I remember watching him as a kid when it was still a good country with great music.

I thought Andy Cuomo was going to put a stop to all this with a wave of his magic wand.....

This law will cost Andy the election in the next Gubernatorial race.
