* Ulster County Comptroller Elliott Auerbach continues his watchdog quest, which consists of copying and pasting other people's stories.

* 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?

This week in blogs
A horrible misconstruction of blogs featured at the Daily Freeman:
* City of Kingston Alderman Bill Reynolds goes gangsta with a post about bullets and 420.
* The Frankenstein people at the Ulster County Development Corp. want you to know that the county is ALIVE!
* KingstonCitizens wants you to know there's stuff happening — in Detroit.
* The folks of At The Farmers' Market have found a way to do things with dead fish other than wrapping them in newspapers. Who knew?
* Over at Hudson Valley Good Stuff, rain at a Renegades game is not good stuff.

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.

Mid-Hudson Valley blogging-heads
Your indispensable source for useless knowledge. Here's the latest pulse:
* Kingston Alderman Bill Reynolds doesn't know how to spell "and" in his announcement that city greenbacks for the Andretta Pool and Kingston Point Beach have been restored. That's good news. Once again, you'll be able to swim in other people's pee. WIN!
* Legislative Barbie (?) Brittany Turner needs an explanation about why Democrats, Republicans, Greens and Progressives suck (I'm badly paraphrasing, obviously. She said "WTF").
* The Ulster County Development Corp. advances a seminar that will tackle the question, "How can we give our Main Streets the best chance for success?" Here's an idea: Don't put it in Newburgh.
* Also, the UCDC mentioned that the Mohonk Mountain House was featured on the "Today Show," not today. It's a great trip if you live in New York City! Oh, yeah, but you don't.
* Kingston Main Street Manager Nancy Donskoj want's you to check your teeth and eyes.
* The Kingston Neighborhood Watch met on Tuesday and decided to take a hike.
* Uber photographer Jen Kiaba talks about how to get some freebies, for $15
* Mid-Hudson music follower Ethan Barnett writes a sentence using "Onderrock," "Dusk," "Seminal Stain," "Very Important Businessmen" and "Loud Youth."
* Bistro-to-Go talks about grilled vegetables, which would look even more delicious if they were next to a dead chicken.
* The Kingston Digital Corridor is drinking again.

This week in blogdom-land-place-stuff-WHAAAA?
* Ulster County Legislator Michael Madsen talks about the Hudson Landing and probably needs a reminder that he's not in the Kingston Common Council anymore.
* Ulster County Legislator Mike Sweeney has a post that can be summarized in one word, "No."
* Kingston Alderwoman Andi-Turco Levin says that the city's planning board, "gave away the store." This being Kingston, I bet the store was a pharmacy.
* Kingston Alderman Bill Reynolds touts the bike racks on Broadway, and then posts this photo of people not using them.
I've got a better one:
FAIL!
* Also by Reynolds: CATS ATTACK!
WIN!
* The Ulster County Development Corporation likes booze.
* The UCDC also notes that The New York Times wrote about Rosendale (in April, you guys!) and the Walkway Over The Hudson on Monday. Unrelated attraction (as in, not in Ulster and not quite an "attraction"): the Newburgh gangs story by the Times on Tuesday - and FBI raids today.
* Kingston Main Street Manager Nancy Donskoj reminds you that Kingston is a destination. Also good for Kingston: Not being called Newburgh.
* The Kingston Neighborhood Watch IS WATCHING YOU! The group also has a new writer, Allison Teetsel, who - spoiler alert! - writes.
* KingstonCitizens.org talks about very foreign concepts called "taxes" and "voting." Strange stuff.
* In a moving post, Claudia D'Arcy shared that she did not quite enjoy Mother's Day and needed one more card, hopefully not like this one:
* Jen Kiaba talks about ... HER CAT!
* Ethan Barnett posts a video of a band with a name I can't pronounce. For the record, I also can't pronounce "juice." I'm told it sounds like "jews," which sounds pretty weird. Example: "Who drank my jews?"
* Bistro-to-go has a Popeye moment.
* Something's rotten in the state of Hudson Valley Gardens online.
* At the Farmer's Market shares a recipe for Rhubarb Ginger Syrup, not to be confused with high-fructose corn syrup.
* Over at Dragon Search, a blog about how to blog (Hint: don't write about how to blog); an online marketing post about peanuts; the successful UCDC tourism conference not being so successful; and hoking up (not in that way).
* Kingston Digital Corridor's Alex Brown talks about "common grounds" and drops the name of a crazy person who works at the Freeman.
* Ulster County Legislator Mike Sweeney has a post that can be summarized in one word, "No."
* Kingston Alderwoman Andi-Turco Levin says that the city's planning board, "gave away the store." This being Kingston, I bet the store was a pharmacy.
