We’re spiraling toward bankruptcy because 20 percent of state revenue derives from Wall Street—and that money just plain ain’t there anymore. It’s yet another d’uh moment. |

Advice

Ask AnyoneIt’s cool that Buffalo is small, except that everywhere I go there’s an old boyfriend, some one I slept with once or whetever. This one time I went out for drinks with my current boyfriend (who I love) and there were two guys I’d dated in the bar, and one of them was the bartender. It was so awkward. |
