Anne Pyburn of the Watershed Post is set to liveblog a conference at SUNY New Paltz from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. about the Ulster County Charter after five years. I've kindly stolen the liveblog code after I found it hanging out naked on the Watershed Post site. After alerting the alert editors, they gave me the OK to include their coverage.
Panelists include County Executive Mike Hein, Comptroller Elliott Auerbach, former Freeman political editor Hugh Reynolds (! and ?), former charter commission head Gerald Benjamin and a hosts of other notables.

Blogs R Us
Here's your roundup of this week's area blogs, featured at http://www.dailyfreeman.com/blogs
* Ulster County Comptroller Elliott Auerbach continues his watchdog quest, which consists of copying and pasting other people's stories.
* Ulster County Legislator Mike Sweeney says that, "for once, the voters aren't going to be lied to," which raises the question, when were they lied to? Just sayin'
* Kingston Alderman Bill Reynolds wants to tell you he was on the radio but won't tell you what he said on the radio.
* The Ulster County Development Corp. will like you to know that SUNY New Paltz ranked "seventh among the best public universities in the North with master’s degree programs" by U.S. News & World, which kind of sucks because I have a bachelor's degree from that very school.
* Kingston Main Street Manager Nancy Donskoj would like you to know there's a hospital in Kingston. Who knew?
* The Kingston Neighborhood Watch is watching. Cats.
* Over at Kingston Citizens, "CAC Holds Visioning Session." First vision: What is CAC?

Blogs and animals
* Ulster County Comptroller Elliott Auerbach talks about the "BUG PURPLE campaign," as highlighted by this bad Photoshop job.
* At The Farmer's Market gives you a recipe for delicious dead shrimp.
* These animals don't want you to smoke. I'm not criticizing the merits or faults of the new $1.60 tax on (cigarette) butts, but the inability of state lawmakers (also known as "butts") to pass a budget in time.
* In a post about food, new Freeman featured blogger Lagusta Yearwood reveals that Tasmanian devils do run in circles.
Well, that's all folks.

I think (I'm going to blog), therefore I am (writing something nobody's going to read)
Here's the pulse of the Hudson Valley, in blogs, courtesy of http://www.dailyfreeman.com/blogs.
* Ulster County Legislator Michael Madsen talks about the most important issues to county residents: Parks, mixed martial arts and something called "RACIING"
* Ulster County Comptroller Elliott Auerbach reads the Freeman's police blotter.
* City of Kingston Alderwoman Andi Turco-Levin learns that you don't mess with Crazy Cat Lady.
* Kingston Main Street Manager Nancy Donskoj highlights some local organic dead animal parts.
* Over At The Farmer's Market, Grilled Romaine Salad. It goes great with local organic dead animal parts.
* The Ulster County Development Corp. notices that The New York Times wrote about Rosendale again, because it's like Brooklyn, but without the hipsters.
* A Study Abroad SUNY New Paltz student is in Wales, so he talks about some TV shows.
...
PERSONAL NOTE: The three of you who follow me on Twitter already know that I'm spending some time at the newsroom of the New Haven Register - where you can read "Hooters waitress files lawsuit - says she lost weight." I'm pretending that I'm helping upgrade the Daily Freeman's editorial system as we enter a new era (did you know there's a thing called The Internets? Wild stuff).
Anyway, here's a present I found at the New Haven Register's mailroom.

Ben Stiller not coming Friday for Elliot Auerbach's fundraiser starring Ben Stiller
So I'm on Facebook, (working, seriously!) and I run into this:
So immediately I go into berzerker mode trying to figure out how this happened and how Stiller was booked and all that.
So I clicked on "see more" ...and what I see is that the event is a screening of the movie "Greenberg" starring Ben Stiller.
For this event's headline, I declare an EPIC FAIL!
Those who attend the event thinking Stiller will be there will have to console themselves with cheese and wine and Auerbach.
I really hope his jokes are good.
Anyway, here are the details from the post:
BEN STILLER AND ELLIOTT AUERBACH AT THE ROSENDALE THEATER ON FRIDAY (emphasis mine)
