One of only 3 games after the calendar flips that the Sabres play outside the Eastern Time Zone prior to the Finals.

Another successful implementation of the Summer of Recovery III by our benevolent President bringing more green jobs to our proud nation. Congrats on finding the job. Safe to assume you're still in Syracuse?

RK, I get the sarcasm and all, but this is the 2nd time you've mentioned not stopping at a stop sign with no traffic around for miles; if there truly were NO traffic around for miles, then blowing through a stop sign wouldn't result in an accident would it? If the bikes were ONLY blowing through stop signs with no traffic around, then there wouldn't be a ton of drivers that have seen bikes routinely blow through stop signs would there? Or are the only witnesses to bikes blowing through stop signs the 'good' bike riders narcing on the naughty ones? PS to Sage - Not trying to imply you were the cause of your accident nor that you blew through a stop sign.

So, assault is no longer a crime? Or are you stating that Trayvon Martin didn't beat up George Zimmerman?

Horribly saddened by your loss. I truly hope that your wife has a speedy recovery and that you and your son continue to have good health. Nothing adequately conveys the sadness I felt reading your latest post.

It's rarely the action that elicits the proverbial @#$%storm but the coverup that gets it fully rolling. Amateur hour indeed.

That's an interesting product you appear to have there. What sort of demand is there for organic pets for cats? Though cats aren't as en vogue as dogs around here, I'd expect that since they are finickier than dogs that they would prefer organic pets to simple run of the mill pets that dogs are good with and though it's a niche market, I could see some demand for the organic pets. Ferrets would probably be finicky as well, so after you really get the cat pet market dominated, organic ferret pets might be a good complimentary market to get into. Good luck with your business and the contest. Unfortunately, I have never been on Facebook so I won't be able to vote for your company.

But, unfortunately, that does make him one of the best Governors NY has had in my lifetime. The bar has been set rather low.

He can be a little blue, but if you like Engvall, Ron White is in a similar vein and is hilarious. Jon Repp (that thing got a Hemi) is also funny in a redneck sort of way.

In a close election, he may be able to have the infrastructure to turn the tide. If he keeps saying brilliant statements like 'the private sector is doing fine' and then holding press conferences to essentially say 'I didn't say what you heard me say' then it won't matter how fine tuned or skilled his organization is. I expected to see the campaigner from '08 on the stump in '12. Can't say that I've seen that yet. (I'm referring to the skilled politician that made statements that didn't really say much but could get interpreted positively by the listener (more or less) regardless of the listener's point of view; not the politician that was saying the last guy screwed up badly and left a big mess for the '08 election winner to clean up. We're still seeing the latter.) Unless the plan is to lull the opposition into a false sense of security, make gaffs now so that he can have the momentum on his own side heading into November, or go nuclear (dropping Biden for Hillary Clinton) at the convention; I'm really not sure what he thinks he's currently accomplishing with the campaign.

Fixed it for you Buf. ;} Probably aren't any of his routines on youtube, but one of the funniest, clean comedians of all time is Bob Newhart. 'The Button Down Mind' and 'The Button Down Mind Strikes Again' are pure gold. (Never got to see him live, but if he ever comes to upstate before he kicks off, I'm there.) A few others that were fun to see in person (that haven't already been mentioned) were Jay Leno, Eddie Murphy, and Rita Rudner (she opened for Dennis Miller). Though Eddie's comedy isn't 'clean.' (Again, sticking with people that haven't already been mentioned) On Sirius, Carl Hurley is usually clean and funny. James P. Connolly and the Commedian Bob Marley have some clean funny material as well. David Cross is funny as well. Several that have already been mentioned are hilarious (Mitch Hedberg, Brian Regan, Chris Rock, John Caparulo, Dennis Miller, and Steven Wright (you can never go wrong with Wright)), though except for Wright they can definitely have some blue material.

Eh, that one could simply be due to AG Holder seeming to be in over his head. It's not definitely malfeasance, it could just be incompetance. It'll be interesting to see if this story continues to grow legs.

Ironic, progressives bemoan Romney's aloofness. They might want to target a different feature of his personality to show a contrast in personalities that favors the President.

Very nice story. Good luck to your nephew today. Hopefully your brother can work some more magic.

Secretariat.

A hospital? What is it? It's a big building with sick people, but that's not important now.

But it works for Chavez, so it's all good, right?

Maybe after that play failed to garner the sympathy they'd've expected, they could have taken to burning tires on the highway. It drums up support down in Salamanca.

I hope you and your siblings throw one heck of a party every Mother's Day. Congratulations to her and you. As others have stated, far better than I can, that is an inspirational story.

Thus the subtitle to the thread. Hope I'm wrong, but the answer to the question seemed quite insincere. "I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here."

It'll be interesting to see if this story 'gets legs' and if so, how the administration reacts to it. The President was quite indignant at the accusation that the leaks are coming from the White House, but all preliminary indications are that that's where they come from. I'd figured that if Romney were to win the election it'd be because of the economy. That'll be a major part of his victory, should it happen, but if the MSM does take up this story and it turns out the leaks were from the WH would that be the item to keep blue collar democrats home on November 6?

Better luck next year Steve.

Press conference was over when I started the thread.

Listening to the President's press conference right now. He just got asked a question about the leaks about Stuxnet, the Kill List, additional info and what he thinks about it. (Very last question he took.) Claims that they're trying to track any leaks down, realizes that they're dangerous to the personnel in the field, that the leaks are NOT from the White House, and that he wants to prosecute any leakers. Anyone buying it? Sorry, don't have a link to it.

Mike Ramsey Neil Broten Dave Christian Those 3 all played at least 1,000 games in the NHL and made at least 1 all star game. Ken Morrow was a stay at home D-man and won 4 stanley cups w/ the Isles. Several others were in the NHL a bit longer than for just a cup of coffee. (Apologies to Jim Craig, who was only up there long enough for 1 and Mike Eruzione that never did get there. Though he broadcast Rags games for a long time.)
