Hooray for Jude Seymour for going to Plattsburgh for a GOP Congressional debate...He streamed the tick-tock of the session and it was like the old days following a boxing match by reading the round by round wire summaries....And by wire copy I mean the reams of paper and clanky teletype pounding away in the corner of the newsroom....Wish I could make this computer sound like a wire machine...Oh and in the better newsrooms there were AP and UPI machines side by side...AP was more expensive so the broadcasters usually had just UPI....
Sure do long for the Ted Ford era !
POSTSCRIPT: I see Franklin County Legislator Paul Maroun was at the Tea Party debate.....I was under the impression he was not running...Maybe he is just having some fun, but I don't think there is anyone who thinks he is really in the hunt.

I read the questions and looked the answers over from these three canidates.. Owens will have no problem winning this race
I was there. Observations:
Poor, poor Paul. Just hasn't got it.
Doug: watch out, bambi. There's a car coming! You tried. You lost. Another Danny?
Doheny: Newcomer, New Ideas. Fresh face. Full of energy, needs to slow down just a little bit, though. Hmmm.

Not MSM, Mayor.
Not trying to take anything away from Jude--he did a great job, but it could as easily have been you, me, or the guy behind the tree.
It's "service" like this that shows just how irrelevant the old ways are becoming.
I was trying to be nice...since they routinely are annoyed at my MSM comments.
10:20 - "another Danny" you say... I presume you mean me?
You don't know me - stop pretending you do...
The GOP "face off" and not one reference to the two wars, our sustained high KIA/WIA numbers, nearly $1 trillon cost, handling of terrorists/detainees, or domestic security issues per se.
How odd? But plenty of repeal this, abolish that, recind that, ignore this, do away with this, cancel that...
Way to run our country... one huge "No" voting block.
"That was Easy!" ®
Seems to me we could use less gov't intursion and less gov't spending.
It is interesting the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution can by typed on less than 10 pages, but a single bill passed recently exceeded 2400 pages.
More ain't necessarily better Danny. I little more "no" from Washington is a good idea.
"That TOO was easy". (hope I don't need a cute little trademark)
