What with the new baby and the new square footage upstairs and way more work than I wanted to be doing in the past month, I haven’t had much time for distractions. You know, like messing with Facebook or following the Michael Jackson autopsy controversy, or getting really upset about what’s going on in Albany. Don’t get me started, but for anybody who doesn’t follow New York news, we may have one of the most ridiculous state senates in the history of state senates. Seriously, it’s pathetic.

I heard half a story on NPR this morning about how a vote on the Democratic side was ruled invalid because a Republican senator “accidentally” voted. They said something like he walked through the room on his way to get a cup of coffee and he was somehow included in the count. Are you freaking kidding me? This can’t be accurate. Can this really be true?

It’s getting pathetic. Pretty soon these schmucks are going to have to really watch their backs. People are seriously getting pissed. Forget about crazies in the street, these guys own doctors will probably be spiking their Lipitor prescriptions. I hear you can get a good Rochester medical malpractice attorney…it might be worth the violation of the Hippocratic oath. Hell, that story would be good for free beers for life in any Albany pub.

Another round for the Doc who took on the 2009 state senate with prescription laxatives. Anything to get this deliberative body moving. Wink wink.
