The Buffalo Police department issued warnings regarding the possibility that the notorious gang MS-13 is going to be randomly assaulting/killing people for some initiation rite. http://www.buffalonews.com/258/story/309083.html Is this for real, or is it more urban legend nonsense? It would seem to me that an organization like that would prefer to keep as low a profile as possible and keep the killings limited to those who crossed them.

A country group called Big and Rich sings a song called "Comin to your town" with the following lyrics: OH CHIPPEWA IS WHERE WE GO WHEN WE’RE UP IN BUFFALO DON’T YA KNOW THOSE YANKEES DRINK ENOUGH TO DROWN

That's why I bought a house in OP - 2.5 miles from the stadium!

C++?

Yeah, but baby Jesus cries.

"So I made a mistake. That happens. It shows I'm human, which for some people is a revelation." For me it is. I always thought you were a snake.

This seems like as good of a place if any to bring it up: Are you guys aware that the Reverend Sun Myung Moon owns the Washington Times and UPI?

Understood - I wasn't so much arguing that he did or did not have ties to Al Queda, but was trying to point out that the standard reaction of "Bah - Saddam had no links to teh terrorzzz" is pretty stupid, because he was pretty fkin public about it: http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/03/25/1017004766310.html http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,48822,00.html I could dig up more links, but 200 of them wouldn't be enough for some people around here...

How come there is never any mention of Saddam offering 25k (and then upping the ante to 35k) to the families of suicide bombers in Israel? Is that too blatant of an example of being directly connected to terrorism for anyone to even bother brining it up?

...tonight on Dancing with the Stars!!!"

Women sometimes find this offensive, but I think it hits the nail on the head: http://www.laddertheory.com/

That's what happens when candidates let their guard down and speak candidly. Rookie mistake for sure, and it shows that prejudice and racial preconceptions are a two-way street. I'm certain there was no malice behind what he said, just a mental slip-up which shows none of us are above that sort of thing.

I fully understand the point he was trying to make, but I hate it wen people use falsehoods to back up their claims. It's the Al Gore example. Yeah, we should be careful how we tread, but don't make sh*t up to prove your point. For starters we didn't 'bomb' Grenada. He makes it seem as though we went into these countries and just started dropping 500lb bombs all wili-nily, which wasn't the case. Also, it wouldn't help his point, so I'm sure that's why he failed to mention that many of the people living in these countries supported US intervention in both cases.

The main problem I have with this guy is how fast and loose he is with the facts. Especially his misrepresentation of the facts regarding Panama, Grenada, and in other sermons, the spread of HIV/AIDS. In fact, given the amount of money the US has thrown at combating AIDS in Africa, that point is especially irritating. Misinformation like that helps the virus take a foothold in Africa where a good number of Priests and Pastors are telling people that not only did whitey create AIDS, but that condoms are the means by which he spreads it. That type of ignorance is unforgivable, especially when this dude obviously is smart enough to know better.

Don't let these guys get you riled up - they like to ignore things like the amount of home your $ will buy and don't mention the STAR exemptions which greatly reduce the amount of taxes you pay on your home. Like the linked article showed quite clearly (with sources and stats as opposed to Brie and wine fueled anti-NY tirades) that it is actually pretty affordable to live in WNY. I won't argue that the taxes aren't too high, or that our job market is weak, but there are economic advantages to living here if you have a decent job or marketable skill set.

He is most likely retiring so that he won't be subject to the soon-to-be law that will prohibit these guys from working with lobbyists for (I think) 6 years after retiring. Just keeping the chance for a money grab alive.

Sometimes I can't even fathom on what level I should respond to you.

If we had bombed and killed more of the poor we could have won. Kinda like what Nixon began doing with B-52's at the end of 'Nam.

A beagle and a basset hound.

Oh, I totally agree - that just happened to be the first link I found that contradicted the assertion. Edit - And to clarify - we are lookng at a statistical tie for the most part right now. But a lot of things will change between now and November. Plus people say one thing in a poll, and then act all goofy when they are pulling levers.

No. http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNew...=22&sp=true

Tacos.

Since it is with my wife, I guess it's ok!
