Rising Hegemon
So Ed Cox will be the latest New York State GOP chairman to go down in flames. Not only did Cox's man, Rick Lazio, get crushed in last night's primary, but his kid, Chris Cox, got whupped in his House primary out on Long Island. And Baby Cox went down after some dirty tricks that would have made his granddad, Richard Nixon, proud.
Bye, Ed. Bye, Chris.
On a not-entirely-unrelated note: the other day I saw Alex Gibney's "Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer" at the Toronto International Film Festival. Carl Paladino, the guy that will send Ed Cox packing, was advised by none other than Roger Stone, who makes an appearance in the film. So now we have a Stone general to look forward to in New York. Should be an interesting autumn.

Res Ipsa, you're at the TIFF? I am, too, but I couldn't get a ticket to "Client Nine".
I'd love to get together, could you call me here at the condo where we're staying near Yonge and Bloor at 416-323-0763 in the evening?
I've got a 25-film day pass, so I'm out at the movies pretty much all day but would love to get together in the evening...
By the way, if you have time between TIFF fims, go to the Carlton Cinema and see "The Secret in Their Eyes", it's only seven or eight bucks, one of the greatest films of all time IMHO, a definite must-see if you haven't already seen it...
Oopsie, better ask for Will, my wife won't know who "Privatize the Profts, Socialize the Costs" is!
never count nixons on gone forever.
