Taro T

You are correct, it was on a message board, it wasn't on 7 or 4 or 2. I'm pretty sure you have had lots of guests on your show in the past, and you haven't started a thread about (many/any of) them. I just don't understand why having the "tiny tot" is what you advertise when you don't start a thread about having had Gabe Northern (who I might actually like to hear what he has to say about the Bills) and others that are FAR more interesting and FAR more intelligent. Sorry if I am turning this into a pissing match; it really isn't my intention. I just really don't understand how Artie is more relevant than other guests you've had.

That was another huge play by Youboty as the LT picked him up probably thinking the guard would pick up Williams. Williams did very well on that one.

Not a big basketball fan, but that could have been a very entertaining show. Do you know if that broadcast available on the net and where to find it? I did a quick search but didn't find it.

Really? That makes 2 of us. My bad, I thought your starting a thread called "Art Wander" implied that you thought it was "newsworthy."

Brad, I've always liked listening to you and am very glad that you are starting up a 2nd sports station in Buffalo. But please explain why Artie booboo blah, blah, blah not saying a gosh darn thing on your show / Ruben's show is news worthy? I just don't get it.

You are just a mean spirited right wing shill. Didn't the DA prove that the Duke lax players were behind the 9:11 plot?

Greatest. Thread. Ever. :huh: I've gotta stop posting on hockey nights.

Clearly Scarborough (sp?) is the token conservative on MSNBC (kind of like Holmes on FNC or Al Hunt used to be on WSJ). But what is your definition of "recently" describing their slant?

Yeah, you CAN, but why would you want to when they are just so darn tasty?

Liberals will go for Obama and Conservatives will go for McCain (especially w/ Palin on the ticket). The battle will be won in the middle and McCain has a history of being considered to be in the middle, as your comment attests. It'll be interesting to see if Obama can tack back to the middle in the debates. If he can't and/or if Obama locks like NY are in play (as stated earlier, I don't believe it is), Wacka is probably right about this being '88 redux. We'll know a lot more about how this will go after a couple of debates.

No, no, no. This is just another example of WHY tax rates MUST be made higher on "the rich". The rich ALWAYS cheat on their taxes (although on occassion it is accidentally of course, right Mr. Rangel?) so their nominal tax rates must be increased to keep their actual tax rates that they end up paying as being "fair". This is not about class warfare nor is it about partisanship. It is about an inherent fairness and equality of outcome that every American has a non-denominational creator's given right to. How could the media possibly be outraged in this matter? There is nothing to be outraged about. Chairman Rangel made an honest mistake, over and over and over again for several years. You can't really expect ANYONE to understand all the minutiae of tax law, especially not the guy who is actually writing it.

Cleveland ended the agreement. IIRC, they are moving their farmclub to Columbus.

I wouldn't read too much into a narrowing of the polls in NY this far ahead of the election. Lazio-Clinton was almost deadlocked when he 1st entered the race, and he was down by nearly 10 points after he "attacked" her in the 1st debate and lost in a landslide. IF NY goes for McCain, then Obama will be lucky to carry 10 states, but there is still a lot of time left and Obama still has a large lead. I don't see Obama losing NY. Although, if the polling gets close, w/ Obama's warchest, we may actually see general election Presidential political ads run in NY for the 1st time in a long time (they probably haven't been run here since Reagan).

What, you think the guy who writes the tax laws ought to understand and follow them? @!%^in' fascist.

Well, actually, he's real AND he's an actor. He's the dude that played Dr. Bob (aka the Quack who's gone to the dogs) on The Muppet Show's Veterinarian's Hospital. Or at least he was real. The Muppet Show was on over 25 years ago and most dogs only live to be ~15, so he is probably in doggie heaven or wherever it is that "Hollywood" dogs go after they pass to the great beyond.

I'm out.

Maybe Sansone's will have a generator. Good luck.

Good to see your neighbor still has his sense of humor. Good luck w/ the storm. Hopefully you're far enough inland to not get hit too bad. As you know, this storm doesn't look good and it looks like it's heading right for you. I hope they force the last few holdouts in Galveston to get the heck out of there. I used to live right along one of the Bayous in the SW corner. I never saw it flood over it's banks but it came close twice while I was there. On KHOU they are predicting that the bayous and creeks should be able to hold the water. Hopefully they are correct.

I'm fairly certain Barney Frank would gladly explain that for you.

Oh, I know what it means, but have never been real clear on what a "ya" is.

Long answer cut very short. It depends. Russia expecting us to uphold our treaty obligations will go a long way towards keeping them from attempting to reclaim the Baltics. BTW, wtf is a ya'll?

Nah, just start the restaurant. Just make sure you put one in Ra-cha-cha as well.

My bad. Does this mean that you don't find him funny? If so, I may have finally found 1 thing (other than cheering for the Bills and your support of charitable organizations) that I agree w/ you on. Either way, whether you find him funny or not, I still don't understand why/how he became relevant.

What parlimentary procedures are the Republicans in the House using to prevent votes? Democrats were convinced that they'd only lose a few seats back in '94 and they got massacred. Actually, pretty much all the polls said they wouldn't get thumped as bad as they did. And heading into '06, it looked like the R's would hold the Senate w/ a VERY slim majority. Assuming your guys are going to hold on to their control when fewer than 1 in 5 people think they are doing a good job is a fairly big assumption. I don't know how things will look in November, but right now it is not a lock that Nancy Pelosi will get to continue to play w/ her gavel. Maybe Obama wins big in the debates or maybe Palin makes the gaffe that the Dems are looking for (notice, I did not say McCain makes the gaffe, as it appears this is being set up as Obama v Palin which allows McCain to stay above the fray) and the tide swings back to the Dem side. Maybe it does, or maybe the R's maintain the momentum they gained at their convention and Pelosi goes back to being just another very liberal Congresscritter from California.
