As the sun sinks on Paladino's political career, say goodbye to one of the worst candidates for major office in the history of New York politics. Farewell, Carl. We will not see your like again. Let's hope.

Right now, the New York state legislature seems headed toward even more disarray than usual. One thing's for sure. The Senate Democrats don't deserve to run the show.

Granted, Mayor Bloomberg didn't want anyone from the education establishment, but couldn't he find someone from education to run the city school system? Or from New York?

The political icon from New York is not only acting like a guilty man, he's acting like a crazy guilty man.

Let's face it, when you count your blessings this year the first thing that springs to mind is not going to be the New York state legislature. Still, there's lots in New York to give thanks for.
