Buffalo: For Realz?! Local Fashion Sense

May 1st, 2012

Clothes make the man...

When fancy pants magazines like GQ and websites we’ve never heard of cite Buffalo as extremely lacking in fashion sense, they don’t realize the contributions to fashion made right here in the city and surrounding area of WNY. But William Van Landingham of “Keep Buffalo Lame” does, as he presents another installment of “Buffalo: For Realz?!”. Give him a listen for three minutes, or get the Tommunist Retort podcast on the iTunes or add this feed (http://thomasdolina.com/blog/feed/podcast/) to your podcast app!

April 24th, 2012

Who wears stripes better?

Cold, windy weather didn’t keep away animal lovers and their furry friends this early afternoon at Buffalo’s “Bark Park” in LaSalle Park this Tuesday as a press event was held there for State Senator Mark Grisanti’s announcement about his sponsorship of legislation to create an animal abuse central registry in New York State for those convicted of animal abuse.

BREAKING: Lovejoy To Hire George Zimmerman To Head “Neighborhood Watch” Program

April 13th, 2012

Come to our Festival of Lights!

In light of the recent Buffalo News story regarding the racially charged intimidation of an African-American family in The Iron Island of Lovejoy, the Kouncil of Korncerned Karetakers of Lovejoy have announced plans to hire George Zimmerman to help “bring a little law and order” to their little Buffalo neighborhood.

Perhaps we should make the figurative “Iron Island” a real one and jettison all the racists there out to the fucking sea…

Three Minute History of Dyngus Day for Anderson Cooper

April 11th, 2012

Polished them off!

Time for another edition of “Buffalo: For Realz?!” by William Van Landingham, chairman of “Keep Buffalo Lame”. This one is a three minute history of Dyngus Day, so that Anderson Cooper can learn that the occasion is a serious part of Polish heritage for Buffalonians.

Also, here’s Anderson Cooper when he wore a bunny rabbit suit. Which is more ridiculous at Easter time?!

Giggle fest...

Mayor Brown Proposes “Proactive” Shitlist For Those Likely To Offend Buffalo In Future

April 11th, 2012

And that's just for this month...

At a hastily put together press conference outside Redlinski Meats today, Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown announced a plan to create a “shitlist” of people who already have, or may in the near future, insult the fragile sense of self-worth of those who reside in the city.

Brown said:

“In order to better manage the knee-jerk, hyper-sensitive manufactured and indignant moral and civic outrage that seems to stem from our long standing inferiority complex, I propose we create a “Proactive Shitlist” in which a panel of experts will name people known on a national and or global level who will probably at some point utter something that makes Buffalo look bad. This list can also extend to those who probably also harbor such thoughts, but have never publicly espoused them.”

The mayor continued:

Be it a slight against the quality of our hotels, our general lack of success compared to places like New York City,, that our sports teams suck and so do the coaches, or that the words “Dyngus” and “pussy-willow” are funny, we will not rest until we force these people to apologize and admit that the Queen City is the greatest and most bestest awesome place to live, and that they were wrong to oppose us in the first place.”

Brown closed with:

“Buffalo is the ‘City of Good Neighbors’, and if you don’t believe, we’ll beat the living piss out of you!”

Buffalo Announces New Recycling Program for Politicians

April 10th, 2012

Tons of trashed politicians looking for re-use in Buffalo and WNY

Last week, Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown announced that Buffalo set a new monthly record in March for recycling more than 1,000 tons of material.  Now, Buffalo looks to take recycling to the next level: recycling “previously used” politicians.

Former  State Senator Antoine Thompson is rumored (so says WGRZ) to be considering a return to the political ring by trying to win a state Senate seat again, this time in the new 63rd district.  Problem is, he might face current State Senator Tim Kennedy in the primary.  Who will voters leave out on the curb?
