Today, my local paper, the Post Star in Glens Falls NY, ran a story about Governor David Paterson's ideas to raise taxes.

I'm a bit flummoxed by some of his.. ideas.

A sin tax on... Cokes?

I stayed away from dKos last night, wanting instead to just quietly eat pizza and watch the results roll in. I know everyone was working very hard live-blogging all the results. I just wanted, had it turned out badly, to be miserable alone.

Then we got Pennsylvania.

WARNING - This diary will be very photo heavy. Please allow plenty of loading time!

Yesterday morning, I took one of our consumers, Brett, to New Jersey to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Brett may not have a lot of time left to live, and I want to help him see whatever he can while he is able. He's wheelchair bound, which presents it's own problems, but we always manage to do things easily.

The trip, however, was significant for me in ways that were very different than for Brett. Much more below!

If Democrats had shown all that video, we'd be ripped to shreds.

Here's the video, finally. Sorry for the delay.

Something happened to me a couple of days ago which has never happened before. The New Yorker cover story has been keeping it fresh in my mind all day today, and now I just have to get it out. More after the jump..

I'm fully aware that the media has to lump people into categories. They only have a small amount of time to say what they have to say in a given hour, with all the other news going on. However it seems to me that some of the lumping is getting a little silly. I suppose this is a diary about myself in the end. I find sometimes that pointing the looking glass at yourself is the best way to understand the outside, or at least gain some perspective.

Hey folks. Just got done watching Gene and Keith talking about Hill's "testicular fortitude." Maybe you all can help me figure this one out? How the hell does she keep getting unions? Why is no one talking about her WalMart connection? Do leaders of unions not care about this, or do they just not read?

It's gotten to the point that I hate the news. All news - local, national, international, whatever. But mostly I really hate politics "news".

No, this is not a political diary. It's simply something that has been preying on my mind for sometime that I would like to share with all of you here, and to help you understand better a wonderful group of people who are overlooked every day of their lives. I never wanted to work for these people. That's not to say that I was scared, or intimidated by the prospect. I've got a soft heart, that's all, and I felt sorry for them. I'm talking about the developmentally disabled.
