While ErieCounty owns the stadium, I believe the Bills own the naming rights.

It's mostly a question of perspective. WNY and upstate NY may need to people to stay, but do thjose people need to stay in WNY and upstate. Like many people my age, I bailed on WNY about 15 years ago. I don't regret the move at all. I may miss the area at times, but I know leaving was the right thing to do.

AD I must commend you on your consistency.

Asst. VP of Strategic Planning at a hospital. Currently overseeing the design, construction, and development of a cardiac treatment center. Best of all, it is the US Virgin Islands, America's Caribbean Paradise !

While I have never met either TB or his twin brother, I did work on some projects with their mother in Virginia some years back. Extremely sharp, and tough lady, it is no surprise her sons are well spoken and project very positive images.

Why do think this particular posting is going to open another set of floodgates? Pretty stupid move for a guy that has "made something (god knows what) of himself and is a memebr of the Buffalo "Yact" Club.

Don't know if this would interest you or not, but about 50 miles to the north is Bowling Green, KY. That is where GM builds Corvettes and the National Corvette Museum is there, they give plant tours as well. There are not many automobiles made in America that are considered "world class", but the Corvette may be one of the few.

Ed, you and I can agree on something!

Cameltoe BTW it is John from Hemet having the meeting. Didn't they teach you reading comprehension at "Rutgers"???

Yeah, Ed, don't be bullied (given the subject of this thread), hit back with one of your incredibly well thought out "zingers", like "I think we should turn Iraq into glass by bombing them", or perhaps something like "I am a terrible human being", or something else that shows the wit and maturity of recent Rutgers grad with a degree in psychology. (whoooo!)

Everything Ed posts is a joke, intentional or otherwise.

I don't believe we have to trade anyone for Owens as he isnot under contract to any team at this moment. Do we want to trade our "issues" with Moulds for a new bunch of "isues" with Owens??? Probably not, but then again who knows waht Levy / Jauron want.

I realized years ago that not everyone does care. Most communities survive, some for the better, some not so much. Oh well.

I think you and I are more in agreement than you think. I am not saying that you need to be involved in local politics, but people should be engaged at some level locally. Volunteering for community organizations such as BB/BS is a good way for hat to happen. I just think people need to take an interest in what is happening in their own back yard more. If they did, we might find there would be fewer problems on a national scale. You can't pretend that what happens locally has no affect on your quality of life.

I will have my legal team, Mickey and Tenny, contact you shortly. The thouhgt of that should make anyone shake their apathy.

That's a somewhat disappointing response fom both you and CTM because I value your opinions here on PPP (and occasionally on TSW!!). The idea that what happens in your local community doesn't affect you is somewhat short sighted. A quick example; over the years I have been recruited to move to a number of medium to large cities across the US in the line of work I do (or did, actually). One of the first questions I would have for a the group recruiting me was whether or not the most recent school bond was passed either by the general public, or by whatever issuing authority that controlled the bond issuing process. I don't have any children. My reasoning was to help me determine what sort of interest there was locally for making an investment in the community, by the community. I have lived in too many places where the people just didn't care enough to make an investment, either in time, money, or effort. Those communities tended to have a lower quality of life, and they also made my job much more difficult. Things that happen in your community do affect you, whether you do or don't have kids, pay property taxes or not own property, own a business or commute outsoide to another community to work. To think otherwise is putting your head in the sand.

I believe Nancy Sinatra had another top 20 record as a duet with her father with "Somethin' Stupid"

Oh Mickey you're so fine You're so fine you blow my mind, Hey mickey!, Hey Mickey!

No, but he certainly fits the profile for your circle jerks

I go on the board every day. I live in the USVI. The weather never changes.....................

80 degrees and sunny. mild trade winds, St. Croix, US Virign Islands (America's Paradise)

Maybe all people are "jerks" instead of "stupid". I am not sure if that is all that more concise, however.

It's like the car wreck video posted on the Off the Wall forum, hard to take your eyes off it, even though it appeals to your basest interests.

I can't think of one either, so kudos to you for calling me out on that. I guess my gripe is more with politicians than it is with any one party, I am inclined to think there have been cases when a Republican has used a funeral for political gain, but as you say, one does not come quickly to mind. Overall, I find it pretty offensive when a funeral is used for anything but a celebration of the life of the deceased. I think the grieving of family and friends should be a private thing, not something that should be put on display for all to see, and ceratainly not something for self important fools to take advantage of. I suppose it could be said that the politicos that were there and invited to speak, did so at the behest of those planning the funeral. One would imagine that was the family of Ms. King. Given the way her children have handled the situation surrounding the MLK Center in Atlanta, it is not surprising the funeral was a bit of a circus.

In addition to those medical services mentioned, PP also provides low cost pre natal and post natal care to a population that is at extremely high risk. Most child development specialists will tell you that one of the easiest ways to ensure a productive citizen is to make sure a child is raised propoerly oin the first several years of its life. You don't want your tax dollars paying for numerous generations of welfare, prions, specila eductaion, etc, etc,. Make the best investment you can, increase funding to places like planned parenthood that intervene almost before the problems occur. Many women / girls from lower socio economic calsses have no other place to go for child raising assistance other than a Planned Parenthood clinic, but in my best PPP tradition..........lets go and ahead and keep our head in the sand and pretend that PP runs nothing abortion mills because that is what our leaders tell us.
