Tuesday we discussed the crazy goings on at Newfane. Seems as though there was some objectionable material on some of the school-owned laptops. Hmm.

Lockport's mayor was in studio for his regular visit. Phone calls were very light. Not sure why.

Scott took the day off to see the Sabres practice at HSBC Arena, so Tom filled in. And the topic? Scott Leffler. That's kinda weird.

Tuesday we discussed the compared salaries of Niagara County officials.

Monday I spent a great deal of time dissecting some errors in Greater Niagara Newspapers publications. I had stuck up for them over the course of the past week, but then they really botched the Sunday paper, shredding their credibility - in my opinion.

I also discuss Jim Ostrowski and ask who appointed him to be king of all that it good.

The best part of this show was the guy that said I'm a hypocrite and that I only criticize Republicans, but say nice things about all Democrats. I think I won the dispute ... have a listen.

Mal Needler announced he's not seeking re-election as a Niagara County legislator. Who's next? Lot's of opinions in this show ...

A few listeners had been nice enough to tell me about a phone survey they had taken ... which had my name in it ... asking if they'd vote for me.

First and foremost - I'm not running for anything.

Second, we dissect the poll ... and the pollster.

*post show note: I've learned even more about the pollster and will continue this conversation tomorrow.

We discuss Eliot <a href="http://www.wamc.org/archives/2007_02_12_archive.html#117128710455474155">"the steamroller"</a> Spitzer and his unstoppable force - going from district to district to bash fellow Democrats who didn't go along with his idea for how to appoint a new comptroller ... and <a href="http://www.lockportjournal.com/local/local_story_044015905.html">Swifboat Veterans for AES</a> and their ad in Sunday's paper, which the US&J explained on the front page of today's paper.

Oh - and what's George Maziarz going to do now that he's within a vote of being politically impotent? Might he switch? *please note this is pure speculation on my part. I would never want to be accused of spreading rumors about the senator.

Monday I was peaved that Greater Niagara News - for the second time in a month - ran a stealth advertisement. A hit job designed to look like it was editorial content, but was really just more AES whining. I called and spoke with Steve Hall during the show, who said it won't happen again. Which is what I was told last time it happened ... last month. Good stuff.

So Anna Nichole Smith died. Does that effect anyone's life?

A couple of stupid laws proposed. Some police state stuff. I think Kathy might be on to something. Maybe it is the water ...

Wednesday we went over a GOP talking point - that being that the AES/IDA deal is "in court where it should be." Who says it should be in court? And why is it there? And who came up with that talking point?

After an interview in the first half of the show, we discussed whether or not school should have been closed on Monday ... and then what made Tuesday any different? Good phone calls, but I found myself in the minority as to the school closing issue.

My daughter, Emily, sat in (no school) and talked about the commercials from Superbowl 41 for a few minutes. She liked the Snickers one (where the two guys kiss). I liked the Doritos commercials.

After a bit, Emily went her own way and I took phone calls on a variety of topics ...

Ray Sherman and I talked about the Bills and the upcoming Superbowl for a bit ... then Ray took off and I opened up the phone lines to discuss the same items - and others - with you.

Greg and I discussed the state budget, Mark Gabriele, the AES deal and more ...
