I was waiting at the light at Kenmore and Englewood today and spotted this sign. Appropriately, it is positioned beneath the American flag and it describes the economic plight of WNY perfectly.

Buffalo News - A control board with guts
On the surface, Anthony Baynes looks like a good choice to head the Erie County Control Board. This portion of the editorial is what I find disquieting -
Joining Baynes on the board will be businessman Joseph E. Goodell, former head of Outokumpu American Brass Co. In addition to running a business in a brutal industry, he served on the Buffalo Niagara Partnership’s project last summer that proposed a vast array of cost savings in county government, only some of which have been taken seriously. The governor’s second appointment, William L. Joyce III, formerly headed Kaleida’s board and has to be a person who understands new marketplace realities and consolidation.
We don’t need people with ties to the “old boy’s network” that has helped lead WNY into a financial abyss.

Law.com - Scalia Says He’s Proud He Didn’t Recuse Himself in Cheney Case
Conservative U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia had some advice Wednesday for those who questioned his impartiality after he refused to recuse himself from a case involving his hunting buddy, Vice President Dick Cheney.
“For Pete’s sake, if you can’t trust your Supreme Court justice more than that, get a life,” Scalia said.
Apparently the good judge thinks he’s above normal judicial behavior.
