  1. Whine much? Salt Lake City, perhaps the most intolerant city in our country, got the Winter Olympics and due to a bribery scandal... so what's your point? Enough with trying to politicize the selection... ugh.
  2. There is one restaurant you must visit for breakfast (if you can avoid having all 16 there as it is a smaller place, if not cool)- Miss Shirley's Cafe, 750 E. Pratt Street. Their breakfast is the best I have ever had in my life, bar none. There are several options along the Inner Harbor, but I would most certainly recommend you going to Canton, which is down the street and on the water. They have a lot of choices that are away from all of the city traffic- just follow Boston Street from the Inner Harbor and you'll see it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canton,_Baltimore
  3. Ridley can bring it for them, and so I don't have an optimistic view of the demise of the Pats* running game like many do. Just because the Pats* used the by-committee running game last year doesn't mean Ridley is average.
  4. I'll take the 1999 Bills defense in a heartbeat!!!!!! Henry Jones Sam Rogers John Holecek Phil Hansen Kurt Schulz Bruce Smith Ted Washington Antoine Winfield Pat Williams Marcellus Wiley Sorry, but to me they were more talented.
  5. Some places in Italy has no idea how to make a good pizza as we know it... not in Naples or Rome, anyways... but in Sicily, they seem to know how to make it REALLY well! Chicago perfected pizza, IMO.. the deep dish pizza of Geno's East and other establishments there have given us perfection in pizza...
  6. This is rich... more quotes that will be used after another failed Eagles season! http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8180116/michael-vick-believes-philadelphia-eagles-develop-dynasty
  7. When unions are a thing of the past, then who is going to be blamed for the lack of quality employment? Even the father of American finance, Alexander Hamilton, was against free trade and pure capitalism, because he knew of the negative effects. The very notion that capitalism means it be without feeling and unchecked is a joke.
  8. When that stojan kills members of your family, you'll see how not funny it is.
  9. My father had overwhelming proof the companies knew the toxins were in the ground they were drilling in before they started, and so it was a bit more than $2k, but it enabled my mother to live comfortably for a few years anyways. I never knew what the settlement was, but as long as my mother was taken care of I had no interest. Same old companies involved... Occidental, Hooker, Bechtel...
  10. Yeah, keep telling yourself that. I'm not dignifying your baiting with any meaningful response.
  11. Probably the night where I had to stay overnight in Port au Prince right after the earthquake. We had little security forces in our area, and there were gunshots and fire and smoke around the perimeter. We had no idea what was going to happen, and after moving the dying Haitians to the HLZ the day before, it was even more stressful. There is nothing like the threat of chaos in a third world country to shake you to your very core... I cannot imagine how it would be by adding bullets whizzing by and IEDs.
  12. I heard the song a couple of days ago... I could not resist!
  13. There are very few books written by Americans that have had more impact than Mahan's The Influence of Sea Power Upon History. To not include it and to include the others that I listed before it is a travesty. http://c250.columbia.edu/c250_celebrates/remarkable_columbians/alfred_thayer_mahan.html
  14. Is that the place that has the chess bars in it? There's Iceland, the Philippines, Hastings, and this place...
  15. Worthy of removal from the list: "American Cookery" by Amelia Simmons (1796) "The American Woman's Home" by Catharine E. Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe (1869) "And the Band Played On" by Randy Shilts (1987) "Beloved" by Toni Morrison (1987) "Family Limitation" by Margaret Sanger (1914) "The Fire Next Time" by James Baldwin (1963) "Goodnight Moon" by Margaret Wise Brown (1947) "Harriet, the Moses of Her People" by Sarah H. Bradford (1901) "Howl" by Allen Ginsberg (1956) "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" by Frederick Douglass (1845) "Peter Parley's Universal History" by Samuel Goodrich (1837) "Red Harvest" by Dashiell Hammett (1929) "Riders of the Purple Sage" by Zane Grey (1912) "The Snowy Day" by Ezra Jack Keats (1962) "Spring and All" by William Carlos Williams (1923) "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert E. Heinlein (1961) "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston (1937) "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" by Betty Smith (1943) "The Weary Blues" by Langston Hughes (1925) "The Words of Cesar Chavez" by Cesar Chavez (2002) Many of these are revisionist takes on what shaped America, unfortunately. I sincerely doubt those I have chosen had a tremendous impact during the periods they were published and read. "The Words of Cesar Chavez" is really embarrassing as an addition. To not include Alfred Thayer Mahan, Theodore Roosevelt or Francis Parkman is an utter joke.... no The Influence of Sea Power Upon History, are you serious???? The Oregon Trail and Winning the West should be included also!!!!! Where is Edgar Allan Poe? Another mind-boggling omission.
  16. You act as if the Buffalo Bills are the one who has gotten the area into a financial mess and has created this financial burden- put the blame where it REALLY belongs, those who mismanage the other aspects of the budget. If it is wrong in your mind, then find another team to support, or vote in someone else, because the Bills can't be viable in WNY without support from the region/state, point blank. There is a choice here- either support the funding efforts in keeping the Bills in Buffalo, or don't. Ralph Wilson isn't trying to hold the citizens hostage here, for if he was the Bills would have moved a long time ago. Your choice.
  17. My father's case was settled a long, long time ago. He was forced to settle because he was dying. I'm speaking about countless others who don't know why they are sick and what is causing it, and fighting the cover up.
  18. You were right... more like a hidden Chernobyl, but hey... Actually, the state of New York is more liable than anyone for this because they allow it to happen through the New York State Power Authority (PASNY). I just wish I had the time and resources to fight it...
  19. Yes, and only time will tell what will happen... this is no environmentalist scare or faux science. My father would still be alive today had it not been for this nasty stuff... http://artvoice.com/issues/v5n21/notes_from_the_underground
  20. Love Canal is like the tip of the iceberg... if you Google it, you will see stories of a spill or the past dumping, but nothing of what is already in the ground. I am far from a conspiracy theorist, far, far from it, but there is a concerted effort to cover up the continued presence of underground chemicals to include dioxin and carbon tetrachloride. One of these days, the chemicals will leak (if they have not already) into the ground water and/or the Niagara River, and suddenly people will get sick again like Love Canal and not know why. Look how close the Niagara Falls Power Plant Extension and Visitors Center is to the Hooker Hyde Park Site full of dioxin, etc.
  21. It killed my father, and so your comparison is spot on, even though you were attempting to be humorous. https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=116451584493114731934.00044764d31ab20bbaf46&ll=43.105244,-79.003029&spn=0.087731,0.180244&z=12&source=embed That's Niagara Falls, NY in my mind, and it always will be.
  22. I want people who are unbiased and humorous... Gus Johnson Tom Jackson Marcellus Wiley
  23. The numbers say it is a pretty significant drop-off, considering the Giants offense versus our offense. I can't tell you the last time we had two receivers that caught for over 1,000 yards!!! I'm optimistic, but I'm also a realist. We don't have a playoff WR corps right now, but T.J. Graham could prove me wrong!
  24. Joey Harrington, Miami, the Raiders... not exactly places any WR would shine in.
