August and Everything After…

My first post in August.  Should be much quieter then last August when the Tea Party Emerged at Congressional Town Halls across the nation….

The NYS legislature will be back in Albany on Tuesday and the last piece of the budget may be passed… ah optimism…

I will be on Fox’s Strategy Room this Wednesday 10 am log on to http://live.foxnews.com/strategy-room to watch it live and get in on the discussion by emailing your questions….

The Week Ahead

This week should be fun.  In New York, Governor Paterson has called the State Legislature back to Albany for an “Extraordinary Session”  It’s possible they will finalize the budget this week and tie up some of the loose ends left from June.  One can hope.

Nationally its 100 days till the mid-term elections and there should be a flurry of activity this week.  As I stated in an earlier post, the GOP should have a successful election season as is the trend, but the Tea Party has pushed the party so far to the right and forced so many primaries across the country that it will likely reduce the amount of seats they pick up.  Even if this is a national referendum, House elections are local affairs and candidates matter.

I will be on Fox News Strategy Room Tuesday Morning at 10am talking politics.  Log on to   http://live.foxnews.com/strategy-room watch and send your questions and comments.   

Lindsay in Jail

I don’t know what how you feel about Lindsay but Drinking and Driving is a serious crime. I have lost an aunt and a H.S. friend to it. She is lucky that no one got hurt by her behavior. That said, I hope Lindsay comes out of jail and makes a comeback. She should follow the Robert Downey Jr. model. Get her life together and focus on her work. Some doubt her acting chops. I don’t… Mean Girls was a pretty good movie and she was good in it. She will play 70’s porn star Linda Lovelace in an upcoming biopic that will get tons of attention (probably more now that she’s going to jail) If she hits a home run it would be great for her career. There is nothing I love more then a comeback, so I am rooting for her. What do you think?
