  1. Ought to be required viewing for every DMV driver test.
  2. No Wood 70 yet?
  3. I call shenanigans. No way #5 is true. And #6 is absurd. Not buying it. BS scare tactic.
  4. Button down shirt, dress slacks and dress shoes would be appropriate IMHO. Whatever you wear, make sure it is clean and pressed, and the shoes are shined.
  5. Thinking the same thing. I wouldn't have a problem dealing draft picks if I was the Bills for proven NFL talent.
  6. Not to restart any debate, but as a dog-owner what Vick did was deplorable and he deserved as much punishment as he got, perhaps even moreso. However, he pled guilty, was sentenced and served real jail time. He declared bankruptcy. In my book, he paid his debt to society and now can move on with his life. If that involves playing football for my favorite team, so be it, as long as he helps the Bills win games.
  7. Was George Siefert with him? Seriously, I'd love it to be true, but highly doubt it.
  8. As a smoker, that would be very difficult. I always travel with the patch, but may have had to use the old "I have medication I need in my checked luggage below" to just get off the plane.
  9. If you're gonna fall off the wagon, this is definately the way to do it! http://deadspin.com/5332801/the-devil-is-s...ne=true&s=x
  10. In NYC, this summer has sucked. It rained every day in June; July was a mixed bag of some decent, sunny days and some gray, cloudy days. Temperature has barely cracked 90, unusual for NYC. Hoping August is good and maybe we get a late summer into September and October, but who knows. Global warming my a$$.
  11. Ever seen a World Bank/IMF meeting? The nutjob left is just as violent as the nutjob right.
  12. Thats not really fair, Ellison is pretty decent in coverage. He is a good situational player forced into a full time role due to our lack of LB depth.
  13. Or wishful. I actually called my congresscritter about the health bill as well, speacifically the tax raises in the House plan (I have never done this before). Got back a form letter detailing why he supported it.
  14. See pic in profile, with the Lot 16C NYCBBB tailgate spot in the background. This was at a Jest game a few years ago.
  15. How about McCargo, I really think he could suprise and that non-trade with Indy is going to be a big "in our favor" move.
  16. Yep. Problem is there is no viable 3rd party that is centrist. If there was, both the far left and far right would be marginalized. Now, the center is held hostage by the extremes. All I have to say is thank you to the Blue Dog Democrats for at least trying.
  17. Thats pretty cool.
  18. Hope so. Don't want to think it might have been the ole PPT giving us the kick save at 3:45 PM on July 9 and 10, just as the market was about to break the key S&P 875 level and leg downward, now would we? And look, on July 13 Merry Whitney, the biggest bear of them all, comes out with a bullish call on banks and away we go....nah, that stuff is just for movies.
  19. I lived in downtown Buffalo for 3 years before moving to NYC. I lived right in Allentown and loved it. That said, I always thought that turning the Main Place Mall center into Buffalo's version of Quincy Market in Boston may have worked. It would have entailed relocating many of the unique, higher-end shops and restaurants that make Buffalo what it is, but the concept would be that people would shop downtown if there were unique and good shops, all in one place, where you did not have to worry about driving and parking multiple times. You would centrally locate shops like Pitt Petri, Bomi, Riverside Mens Shop, Buffalo Inc., Reed-Jenss etc. Build a central food market with good with evrything from Charlie the Butcher and Duffs/Jim's SteakOut to higher-end stuff. You add a mini-Broadway market for food and perhaps a Spot coffee. You add a few nationals that attract shoppers willing to spend money like Talbots, Chicos, etc. and you just may have something. Add in a couple of happy-hour style pubs. You could attract the stores by essentially providing large tax abatements in the hopes that more and more stores would re-locate there. The city could make back the $$ via a % of the sales tax spent at these stores. If the idea hits, it would take off, much like the renovation of Chippewa Street.
  20. Ummm, it is my understanding that the police were uniformed officers (please correct me if I'm wrong); displaying their badges on their shirts, and arrived in a police car. If I am correct, that would presumptively identify them as police officers. And asking for Gates' ID (not his college ID, but one issued by a government entity), would be the only way to, on-the-spot verify, that Gates was, in fact, in his own home.
  21. "what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there is a long history in this country of African Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately. That's just a fact. " Just wondering here...is that because they commit more crime, are thus identified as possible perps (e.g. "possible purse-snatching, be on the lookout for a black male approx age 25, wearing a white T-shirt, jeans and Yankees cap in the vicinity of 125th street"), so the police look for a suspect matching the description given by the victim? Its absurd that Obama got into this and commented the way he did.
  22. OK, but now lets figure that the entire last decade of GDP growth has been debt-fueled spending, in effect pulling forward into today future demand. And now lets estimate that GDP is in the process of suffering a 25-30% contraction across the board in order to reset to a sustainable level (note: the 25-30% is the amount, year-over-year, that revenues are dropping for each company that is currently reporting earnings; I expect this to continue). Now, if the gov't spending was lower than it has been in decades as a % of GDP, and that GDP number was 25-30% lower (where it should have been, absent the too-easy-credit-binge of the last decade), then what is the number? I have no idea, but be very suspicious of anyone using 2006-2008 GDP to base anything off, the number was grossly inflated.
  23. I'll put my vote in for Jenna Lee of Fox Business (All links should be SFW) Jenna 1 Jenna 2 Jenna 3
  24. LMAO! I'm going to have to ask for permission to use that line in casual conversation!
  25. The F-22, requiring 30 hours of maintenence for each hour of flight time, was not the answer. The F-22 has not even been deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. It was a classic hanger queen, that should have been scrapped years ago.
