	Six Days: The Straight Dope From the (Abbreviated) Week That Was by Geoff Kelly & George Sax
	The photo tells the story: Wednesday evening’s holiday party at the First Amendment Club in Black Rock bridged political ideology and faction. Some of the strangest bedfellows appear in the photo to the right: Niagara District Councilman David Rivera, a Democrat; Republican State Senator George Maziarz; attorney Mike Kuzma, the consummate leftist, who will run for State Senate next fall; New York State Green Party chairman Eric Jones; South District Councilman Mickey Kearns; and singer Steve Balesteri. What business did Niagara County’s Maziarz have with Buffalo Democrats? We’ll find out next fall.
	Scorecard: The Week's Winners & Losers by Zachary Burns
