Was it a slow news day at the NY Post that they had to dig for photos of professors flipping the birdie in photos? Give me a break!

I have actually met the man at a Tech Valley summit with students. He has a strange sense of humor when addressing people, but very personable. Still not so sure why his salary is so high, but I guess he brings in a lot of $$ to the state.

I saw him speak at an event for educators. I thought he was obnoxious and had a very inflated ego. He also made a few too many ethnic and off-color jokes for my taste.

Say Something!

The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up.

Who would have thought that the city of Troy could have chosen a building uglier than the one they're already in as the location of their new city hall? It's okay, actually. If the plans for the future of the current City Hall site pan out, they can put the new city hall in Cohoes for all I care.
