Senate GOP seizes control in political coup

[Faeelin]

Actually, he may be the broken clock during one of those two times in a day.  One of the reasons I've read for one of the senators was that the move was in protest of gay marriage thing.

Can ya link me? Both of them were considered fairly likely to vote in favor of gay marriage. The real concern is now Diaz's "bwahaha, I'll caucus with the GOP" has significant weight.

Hahahaha! This is funny, if true.

I like the fact that he is willing to put his (considerable) money where his mouth is and try to effect some change. It probably won't work, since there are too many people too invested in the disaster of a system that New York State has become (just look at Strix and his love affair with unions and he is a die hard Conservative! as an example) to ever really have real change.

The future of New York is going to be as a pseudo European style socialist state, where upstate is a economic disaster supported by the engine of New York City - and when something happens that threatens that cash cow (like what is going on now) we will have crisis because we can't afford the spending promised during the last boom cycle.

Gotta love the Democrats!

But isn't it your fault?

That I haven't been able to buy a surplus nuke and destroy the Democrats voting base aka New York City I take responsibility for. The rest is out of my hands.

Perhaps not, but as a unionized employee, you have conspired the destroy the state.

Destroy the only part of New York people actually want to live in?

If NY wasn't a closed shop or if I had started the Union than I might agree with you but since it is and I didn't than I will enjoy the benefits that I have no control over being paid for.

You are the Master of the Obvious. Of course I would want to destroy the only part of NY that Democrats want to live in.

They generally frown on fun so that counts New York City out as a viable option.

Yeah, because the state of New York would be so much better off if only NYC where not a part of it...why, we would be awesome, like Michigan!

We've planted our chief operative in the Yukon in order to imprison all the natives so that we can easily take it over.

Edit: and I didn't even see Sav's post.
