GOLDEN SHOWER; NO PLUMBING (AKA MARTY GOLDEN'S MISSING EQUIPTMENT): Cross-Party Petition challenges aren't quite as a rare as the dodo, but nonetheless deserve distinction. Voters deserve choices in every general election.
State Senate candidate Mike DiSanto is sincere and hardworking, but if one had to profile his suitability for this district, you couldn't find much more going for him than the vowel at the end of his name, and that attribute didn't help Obama much here.
The incumbent, Marty Golden, has not faced a general election since 2002; one might think that, in a year when Republicans might actually do well, he'd welcome an opportunity to actually show his strength, which is probably considerable.
Instead, Golden proves himself a political castrato, as spineless as a pea-nutless butter and jellyfish sandwich, afraid to let the public have an actual choice in a November election.
Years ago, as a cop, Golden once got in trouble for losing his gun, which was never recovered; but I know where it is.
Next to his balls.

Both here and in a similar Times story, we see the “New Tolerant Intolerance“ hit a wall; much as they'd like to get their followers to drop the old hatreds of blacks, Latinos & immigrants, who all have large pockets of social conservatism , and instead substitute gays, "elites" and other people of Blue, the rank and file still cannot get over their old hatreds.
