Another popular series will depart this week. Will & Grace will have the last episode aired on Thursday, May 18. At 8 pm a 60 minute tribute will be aired followed by an hour long final episode at 9 pm.
Although this show is a comedy, it is packed with social value. The show managed to send the message, in a humorous way, that gay people are not a threat to society.
Will & Grace has been entertaining America since September 21, 1998.
By 2005, Will & Grace had been nominated for 49 and won 12 Emmys. From 2001-2005, Will & Grace was the second-highest-rated sitcom among adults 18-49, second only to NBC’s own Friends, which usually preceded it on the Thursday-night schedule. It has also been heralded as responsible for opening the door to a string of gay-themed television programs, such as Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and Boy Meets Boy. Will & Grace has won several GLAAD Media Awards for its fair and accurate representation of the gay community.

You will be missed. This show managed to bring dignity and humility to the White House. The issues presented were thought provoking and relevant. The acting and writing was topnotch.
This was the second goodbye of the season. John Spencer, who played chief of staff Leo McGarry, died mid-season.
The final scene consisted of President Bartlett (Martin Sheen) flying off into the horizon with his wife (Stockard Channing). She asked him, “what are you thinking about?” His reply, “tomorrow”.

Buffalo News - Milroy insists he will leave post despite offer of raise
Michael F. Drennen, head of the white collar union, has submitted his resume for the post being vacated by Milroy.
One application was submitted by a city union president who has been a harsh critic of the control board that oversees Buffalo’s finances.
Michael F. Drennen heads the white-collar union and has an MBA in finance. He joined the city’s audit division in 1989 and said he believes his background in finance, combined with his knowledge of city government makes him well-qualified to join the mayor’s cabinet.
Drennen realizes he would have to step down as union president. He dismissed suggestions his strong ties to labor and strained relations with the control board could make it tough for him to function as city finance commissioner.
Brown received substantial backing from city unions during last year’s mayoral campaign.
This is a political litmus test for Brown. If he chooses Drennen to fill the post he will lose all credibility. Brown is already tainted by the “union label”, this would just soldify Brown’s position as a union hack.
. . . and sources say the administration has received few resumes.
Is this the setup for the excuse to hire Drennen? It is vital that the Mayor does not give in to this impropriety, even the appearance of impropriety is more than this City needs at a time when real progress is the mandate of the common citizen. When one is faced with an important decision, it is often easier to choose the wrong option, let’s hope that Mayor Brown makes the right choice!
