This is probably a stupid thought but here goes-
We always here about the lack of corporate revenue within WNY for the Bills to tap into and I was just thinking why does the corporate money have to be located in the To-Buff-Chester mega-region? What's stopping us from marketing the Bills to the world's biggest transnational corporations?

Read on PFT that the Minnesota and San Diego homes game this weekend are not selling well and might be blacked out. Amazing to me really. Both are pretty well-to-do communities with a lot of business and white collar jobs, especially compared to Bflo. I can't see any situation where a playoff game here would ever not be sold out immediately. Makes you wonder how a town like this could potentially lose a team with the kind of support they get (well, I know how, profit the team could reap somewhere else!).
The Oilers comeback game was blacked out.

I'm offended.......at how ridiculously unfunny that song parody is.

In the news article, it mentions that the Bills Treasurer is in attendance. This makes me think Jauron has signed the extension and they're working on 1) the financial implications of firing DJ now and 2) a deal that financially makes sense to both parties to void the extension and allow DJ's contract "to not be extended."
This would avoid Ralph needing to publicly "fire" DJ, whom he seems to have much respect for. Maybe it's normal to have a treasurer present in these types of discussions, but it strikes me as a little odd
That's what I was thinking too.

I'll put the probability of that at > 3%
That's better than I expected!

Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Being a socialist country I;m sure the corporate tax rate is much higher there as well.
There's little difference between the corporate tax rates in Japan and the United States.
Currently, the average combined federal and state corporate tax rate in the U.S. is 39.3 percent, second among OECD countries to Japan's combined rate of 39.5 percent.1 -
I'm sure Toyota will make the right decision. Any company that can go that long without a loss is doing something right and does not need the governments help.
Toyota doesn't need help from the government? Who pays for the health care of Toyota's Japanese employees? The Japanese government. Who's been artificially devaluing their currency to protect their automobile imports? The Japanese government. Who's been rebating value added taxes on their exports to American while imposing the same taxes on imports from America? The Japanese government. Who uses a variety of non-tariff barriers to protect their auto industry? The Japanese government. The way some people talk you'd think that Japanese car makers are existing in some sort of Milton Friedman wet dream where only the free market's invisible hand has pushed them past their American competitors.

McKelvin is going to be great!

How is McKelvin not even on the honorable mention list?
I'm also shocked how bad Dorsey has been.

Last time I checked, you were a FNG and I could give a flying sh-- about your opinion.
FNG?
-
Really? So what's the current equivalent for people like you?
Critiquing the present day relevance of the term "hippie" automatically makes one a hippie? Well then I suppose that I'm not only a hippie but also a Zippie, a Beatnik, a Mod, a Greaser, and a Pachucho.
-
Are you saying all hippies died in 1969?
Using the term "hippies" in 2008 is like George Bush saying he uses "The Google". It makes you seem a wee bit out of touch and stuck in the past. Just an opinion.
-
Uh no, you'd actually see the pavement in Chicago or NY.
Go hippies!!
Typical hippies. Don't want salt to leech into a salt water estuary? Love the "We're going to clear the roads enough for only the environment killing SUVs to pass" mentality. That's awesome.The last time I checked it was 2008.

Open letter to the !@#$s running Sirius,
Thanks for not listening to all the subscribers clamoring for Boombox
39 to come back. It seems like you feel the little changes on Alt
Nation, such as mixing in Pendulum, will be enough.
Apparently you people don't understand music. Following Pendulum -
Propane Nightmares on Alt Nation this afternoon was Blink 182. Let me
repeat that, because you obviously don't understand the contrast.
Pendulum versus Blink 182.
Hell, let me link the two songs so you can compare:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3O97n2gWJg...feature=related
Hear the difference? How in the world are these two songs on the same channel?
You people continue to prove you have no idea what you are doing with
the type of music that was on Boombox. You are trying to integrate it
into a channel where it makes absolutely no sense to.
Thanks to great radio stations like www.unitedbreaks.fm that aren't
filled with the redundant garbage that Sirius is, I'm getting ready to
drop my subscription. I'd stay around if Boombox was brought back,
but you guys don't give a damn about that type of music.
I've got to hand it to you, you guys managed to completely ruin Area
38 and Boombox all in one sweep, and now you are ruining other
channels trying to fix it. Quite an accomplishment, I must say.
I'd get an Ipod if I were you.

Too bad these CEO's weren't in a labor union. Congress might have asked some tough questions then like, oh I don't know, what will you be doing with the 700 billion dollar bailout?
-
The queers are pushing their rights above the rights of the people and have been. This is a state issue and the state has spoken. It's bigotry against the people who don't want the disease of being queer being spread as normal.
Tell me about it. I caught it from just sitting on a toilet seat!

How many of the pats' o-lineman were drafted in the 1st round? Giants?
Is the Pats line really that good?

And your continuing to harp on an immaterial triviality is not even remotely surprising. Whether Franken was responsible for 5% or 10% or 1% of SNL does not change the fact that his bits were not funny and it isn't much of a reach to assume that what he wrote (that wasn't explicitly credited to him) wasn't funny either.
That's not a fact, that's an opinion.
-
In addition to those VA points out work in exploration and refining, what about all the gas stations that litter the landscape? There is at least another million people on the retail side.
In fact, I think it's a fair bet that there are more jobs in oil/gas than in the auto business.
People are still going to need to by fuel for their cars. What difference does it make to the gas station owner if they're are buying gas or some sort of alternative fuel?
-
You mean the era that had Chevy Chase fall down all the time while doing the news? The crap that is laughably bad now because it is so dated? I guess I should bow down and blow the dude that was responsible for that genius.
Franken was also around during the Farley/Sandler/Hartman era which was my favorite era of SNL.
-
Of course those green company employees will all be union workers and democrats so that's better right?
There's no union workers in the oil industry? What about the USW?
-
And how many jobs are their drilling for oil/gas? Processing, shipping, refining, building pieplines, enegineers, chemists who find other things to do with oil by products. I bet it's at least at 3 million people.
Which would be replaced by American jobs in the alternative fuel industry.
-
With oil prices plummeting and they being forced to find new alternative sources and fuels by the messiah, how long before they become economically insolvent and have to seek a bailout. I say two years with the messiah and Al the green machine wizard and all his "eco-friendly" companies before the big oil companies are in trouble.
If oil companies become insolvent due to plentiful alternative fuels why would we even need oil companies?

I think this was more of a legal defense tactic than anything.
