This is not a political plea, and this is not a championing of blue or red, liberal or conservative, or anything else.

Election Day in New York Was Yesterday

In case you missed it, election day was yesterday in the state of New York. Locally, Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan and Rensselaer County Executive Steve McLaughlin were re-elected to their positions, and a few newcomers, like Colonie's Peter Crummey, have been elected to their positions for the first time.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell Spoke Last Night

That sentence will send shivers down the spine of half of the people reading this.

McConnell spoke in front of Congress last night, speaking about the state elections, and encouraging national-level politicians to vote one way or another on certain issues.

As of *checks clock* roughly 9:30PM, I haven't seen a for-sale sign on either Yankee Stadium or Citi Field, so it appears that we have narrowly escaped a tragic relocation.
