How long before Spitzer weighs in on big oil?
ByDerek
With California Attorney General Bill Lockyer being the first to launch an investigation into oil company “profiteering”, I’m sure the antithesis of big business, Eliot Spitzer, is chomping at the bit to get in on the action and play to the hearts of the liberal voters. I hope he does. I hope he breaks down…
The Golisano factor
ByDerek
I left this comment on the Responsible New York website, in response to Tom Golisano’s statement: Thank you, Mr. Golisano, for bringing the most transparency we’ve seen in a long time to New York State government. Until now there have still been a handful of people that believed that politicians were elected by the people…

Geek Inventory
ByDerek
This weekend I’m focusing on unpacking the various boxes of stuff that should go in my office. Being the family geek means I accumulate quite a collection of computer pieces, cables, and other things to hang on my utility belt. So far I’ve uncovered: 8 Keyboards (1 USB, 5 PS2, and 2 AT) 6 Mice…
Oh, Eliot

Dear Governor Spitzer, I’m not going to spend much time on this letter, because I’m fairly certain you’re not going to understand it anyways. It’s hard to teach an old Democrat new concepts, like economics. I read through your State of Upstate address and boy was I impressed. It’s astounding how someone who spent so…
Hi! I write you for different reasons. The first one to tell you I enjoyed your pics from Belgium. I went there last year and I think it’s an awesome place. The other reason is because we share the same lastname, this is: Punaro. I am mexican, and back there all the people that share this lastname are the descendents of the late Mr. José Asuncion Punaro (this is my grandfather from my mother’s side). The funny thing is that we don’t know the origen of the Punaro name. So, each time I have a chance, I seach to see if by any chance I find a clue. Some time ago I was told it is from northen Italy. Do you have an idea? Thank and hope you don’t bother for using this space that I imagine it’s reserved for your family and close friends.
The name does originate in Italy. Somewhere, I have some images of Ellis Island records of my ancestors coming over to the U.S. I’ll post them when I have a chance. I do not know where the Mexican branch would have started!
