Comedy in Albany

It's amazing, isn't it? How many times over the past day or two have you heard Albany pat itself on the back? Democracy In Albany describes perfectly what's going on:

"Imagine failing for 20 years at something and then bragging about finally getting it done....before its done."

That had me rolling.

After 20 years of abysmal failure, we should all pretend you [in Albany] are doing your jobs at the absolutely lowest standard since you've never been able to even reach that bar. Maybe we could be the "second worst legislature" in the country this year. Then we could really criticize some cynics. And now a word from our future Governor: "The assumption that Albany is broken is absolutely correct — and we need to fix that, if we don't reform the trilateral arrangement, we will have failed New York state."
