Yeah, I went to a Columbus Day dinner once and was pissed off that they had the nerve to try to feed me food stereotypically associated with Italian people! ZITIS AND MEATBALLS! I was expecting roast turkey or Yankee pot roast! WTF! However the Gazetto would not hear my complaints and did not find it newsworthy

I'm just waiting for one of the elected to tell the plebs "if you want to attain such a stature as I, then run for office and poor wont be in your vocabulary again. Hey, I deserve this, you voted for me. You too can attain this, if I let you."
It's more about their protective leadership role of themselves than it is about the bigger picture and 'the state'......
too much feel-good legislation makes the teet bitter...

Once again Senders -- you make issues where there are NO issues.. The PEOPLE of our community are exceedingly happy with the fine job the political leadership is providing at the COUNTY, the CITY and in Niskayuna.. I also expect that the Democratic party will maintain a comfortable 5-0 edge in Rotterdam for the foreseeable future.

there, are you happy.....I have stepped over my own boundary and called you a peckerhead, I really didn't want to call you a peckerhead, but peckerhead it was. Why, you ask? because peckerhead is the word that fits you. I couldn't imagine calling anyone but you peckerhead. I like the sound of peckerhead as a title for you. If you can think of anyone else other than yourself that I should call peckerhead, please inform me.

Re Jan. 20 article, “MLK Day menu offends some”: I am in shock and disbelief at the ultra-sensitive response of some Union College students when they were served Southern fried chicken (one of America’s favorite comfort foods) on MLK [Martin Luther King] Day. Interpreting this as a racial slur and mockery raises the question, do these kids really have enough to do? I noted they were freshmen, and I hope that as they continue their education, they will learn to focus on real issues. A word of advice to the dining director at Union: Please don’t serve corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick’s Day.
The Jan. 20 article by Justin Mason, “MLK menu offends some at Union College,” misrepresented the focus of the Martin Luther King Jr. menu controversy. At first glance, the offense was blamed on the lack of diversity at Union or cultural insensitivity by our dining services department. In fact, the events unfolded after an African-American student witnessed mockery of the menu by some students, which displayed their ignorance of African-American cuisine. As an opportunity for cross-cultural learning, this occurrence prompts us to assess how dining services provide a context for menu choices and for the campus community to become more aware of the existing diversity. Understanding different cultures is a priority at Union College. Our more than 2,100 students come from 40 states and 40 countries, and 18 percent are from diverse backgrounds. Student groups range from the African and Latino Alliance of Students to the Asian Student Union, CÃ rculo Estudiantil Latinoamericano and Muslim Students Association. The student-run international cultural week is just one of many popular events that promote globalism and respect for diverse cultures. We have a strong office of multicultural affairs, and as director of the Africana Studies program, I can attest to the varied course offerings examining social, artistic, political and historical contributions of African Diaspora heritage. Students are aware of these academic opportunities, and many take advantage of them. I hope the few students who ridiculed the Martin Luther King Jr. menu on the day we celebrate his legacy will avail themselves of Africana course offerings to broaden their awareness of other cultures.
