Coming Soon! Keith Olbermann Joins Tommunisms (UPDATE)

April 3rd, 2012

"Chris Collins: Today's Worst Person in the World!"

Tommunisms is proud to announce a major shift in the WNY blogging world with the hiring of political pundit Keith Olbermann to the website. Olbermann has been named “Executive Poohbah of Snark and Incredulous-ness” at Tommunisms.com and will be hosting a daily five minute edition of “Countdown With Keith Olbermann” on the site via YouTube. By daily, we mean Monday through Friday, with Fridays off, and up to 13 days off a month from that schedule, not counting sick time, and the fact that we had to buy him season tickets for the Buffalo Bisons, which means if the games go into extra innings, production of the web show may be delayed.

He’s Baaaaack!

March 25th, 2012

Truth in Advertising

Former Erie County Executive Chris Collins announced he was running for Congress, in the 27th district, he told The Buffalo News today. This means he will be taking on longtime rival (and incumbent) Kathy Hochul (D) in a reapportioned district that gives an advantage to the Republican party.

Collins says he will apply the same cost cutting logic that proved him to be a successful and well liked County Executive:

Beating the Heat

March 21st, 2012

Tommunisms Rewind: The following appeared on Tommunisms on July 7th, 2010. It is as ill-advised now as it was then…

 

Feel the heat!

Tommunisms returns from it’s holiday hiatus, and is smack dab in the middle of a heat wave gripping the nation. Even 13 stories below ground level in Buffalo at the Tommunist compound it’s sweltering. My friend Richard Roma told me that it was so hot in the city today, grown men were walking up to cops on street corners begging them to shoot them. As a service to our dear readers, we present some tips to help “beat the heat”. Of course, this is no replacement for sound medical advice by professionals.  Read the rest of this entry »

Strike A Pose

March 14th, 2012

The face that launched a thousand ships

Although the President was never in any real danger, death threats against him must be taken seriously. Even when they give you a mug shot as goofy as the one of Rochester woman Christine Wright-Darrisaw, who was arrested last Friday after her latest round of rambling phone calls to the White House regarding the unfairness of child custody laws.

A White House operator told the Secret Service that “she recognized the caller’s voice because she is always calling the White House with regard to child custody issues,” according to the affidavit.
The “female caller was rambling wildly and screaming into the phone with regard to how unfair the child custody laws were and that she needed Obama to fix this” (Source: WGRZ)

A judge ordered her to take a competency exam.

However, in the mug-shot that I’m sure has already gone viral, I couldn’t help but notice that I think I’ve seen this pose before. Then, it hit me:

That'll make you miss a free throw...

 

A lot of brackets will be blown if this head starts popping up at games…

Tommunist Retort: Historic History of the Historic Trico Building

March 13th, 2012

Boxy Lady...

In keeping with the Tommunisms theme for 2012 of “All Potshots…No Solutions”, the Tommunist Retort podcast returns with a special guest recording by William Van Landingham (the First), the founder of “Keep Buffalo Lame”. The historic Trico plant building in Buffalo may face demolition by the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, probably just for the LULZ. Much like the Kony 2012 video, we cannot vouch for the accuracy or motivation behind this recording, but we hope that it will spur further dialogue and discovery by those in the Buffalo area, who may not be aware of the historical significance of the building. So give the old coot four minutes to listen, and then make your own uniformed snap judgement!
