Fff in refs, guess they are just calling it that way, won't call one on Kelly for sitting on a guy. Still the Sabres need to skate better.

!Game preview begins on OLN...NOW!

Interesting MSG quote of Heatly before game 3: Dany Heatley has this jab at second-round foe and off-ice pal Briere: “He looks like he's 12. Imagine: 12 years old, with three kids!”

Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean.... What I really think we should all do is log on to the ESPN website at 3pm est and ask Barry Melrose why he is such a lame bum not to give the Sabres more props. It would be fun to see this group put mullet head on the spot.

Hence the reason I moved out of DC to quiet Western Mass. I got tired of unidentified incoming planes and don't go down corridor such and such because of a suspicious package outside room #@%#$. The ricin scare at Frist's office was nuts, they didn't even warn us and one of our guys who used that corridor as a cut through, ended up decontaminated and sent home in a paper jump suit. I came across two guys in full 3/4 inch thick space suits on an elevator and left quickly. Lucky it was nothing, but after anthrax, I am done with that stupidity. P.S. Don't ever go on cipro if you don't have to. Nasty anti-biotic.

I love this supposed conspiracy theory....please,...better than the Dem/Repub arguement they mentioned that he was a Kennedy. I think Bib mentioned it earlier, but you didn't get it, and yes counter to your previous statement the media will run with this for the next 10 weeks and will probably get stupid updates on his Rehab stuff, because he is a Kennedy. P.S. Don't remember 10 weeks of Gingrich leaving his former wife on her deathbed, to serve divorce papers, or much about the prostitutes Livingston was involved in when he was nominated for Majority Leader....marital infedelity my rear end! Give it a rest, the Press uses both monikers when it will get more attention and continues bashing as the story has legs. Oh, don't deny there is some partisanship, but right now it is more right leaning than left. Except that now that a Bush or a Kennedy is in trouble politically they all get like hyenas at a feeding frenzy.

Hey, I have been to a turkey slaughter house, smell lingers in your sinuses for days. Still can't eat packaged turkey from Smithfield. The killing process wasn't bad, just the smell. Pigs are worse. It is the smell of feathers hitting the heat, in this case the hot water used to soften the skin before the birds hit the high speed rollers that rub off the feathers. Smell is special and I am sure the water was cleaned right before we got there. The place was immaculate.... The water was around 200 degrees, so no bacteria could survive. An incinerator might not be so bad, but the smell prior to it would linger with you. Soylent green (sp).

One way to control the bird flu! Chicken Frickizee(sp)

Yeh Bob couldn't agree with you more on this one, don't know if it is liberals so much as the privileged nimbys, that it happens to be in Mass, makes them limo liberals. But he the answer to the oil problem is to drill in ANWAR....NOT! First place already over 90% of ANWAR plane has oil right sold and is available for drilling and AD can correct me, but with side angle drilling that 10% becomes a lot less. Granted we are talking about obscene acreage on a scale that non of us in the lower 48 understands, but I am told that even then it will take 10 years to go online and that there is more accessible oil in the Gulf of Mexico and off the Coast of CAL. But tax payer dollars will subsidize it all any how and consumers will hardly benefit. Priority setting and arguments on both sides lack so much common sense that I am sick of the whole debate. Recently, a guy at my local heating oil company showed me a set of hotwater solar heating transfer tubes for heating your house during the winter. Since I already have a hot water radiator system, I am looking into how efficient this system will work, it can also heat your hot water for the shower, etc. I will keep my backup system, but it looks like a good idea. Anyone know anything about these systems and costs?

Kinda like the last time Jimmy Griffin ran for mayor and his opponent died a couple of weeks before the election, everyone from Superman to Elmer Fudd made the write in list of votes.

I saw that too Johnny, why is that a surprise, not sure though that most Administrations don't do some of that, mostly through nonimplementation. Flouting or running against specific language is different and I only wish the article was a little more focused and concise.

Man I would be lovin this thread except as cromagnum stated it is depressing, the Emperor has no clothes and now that our rose colored glasses that gave him the benefit of the doubt, have fallen off our faces, it looks ugly. Put a towel around that thing, get it out of here, and send it back with the Philadelphia Flyers to the has been and never was dumpster. Either that or give me five years of stiff drinks because even if I can't drink her off my mind, I don't want to remember the last years...enough of the bad cliches? Bush Bites!

Yep, think it is rediculous that soft drink machines are in school at all, and what a waste of time on diet stuff, still got plenty of other crap in them creating havoc with the human body. Don't remember having any at that old Amherst High, great old building by the way...you newbie schools were just jealous because we got into better colleges. Better facilities don't mean better schools, better teachers do! And I agree with the physically lazy nature of this generation, not fat, we had plenty of big folks during my time, but everyone had to exercise and get in some kind of shape. I guess this current group is heavier, spends more time on the computer and playing nintendo. They are not lazy, but man they could use some discplined aerobic workouts. My motto... bike, hike and play hockey for life!

Oh Man are the Sabres bored...and when they want score at will, the Flyers defence looks pathetic.

Now it is getting ugly

Wow Kotalik and now it is quiet!

Still the Greer line looks good, the rest of them look a bit lead footed.

And another totallying in Fed in a Separate column, looks more legit: P.S. Back home in Western MA, no more Californication.

Looks like MA is at 23.5 plus Fed. Here is a link to a website with a list by state, not sure if it is updated http://www.gaspricewatch.com/usgastaxes.asp

Not if each vehicle was burning E85, but you are right with the current formula. Question does that efficiency issue apply to MTBE?

Yeah, that I can agree with you on and I have been telling them that for years, fell on deaf ears, don't lump me in the the DDBDs, Deaf, Dumb and Blind Dems, I also advocated coming up with a number of different middle class tax cuts as well, which never seemed to get much traction, but you would think direct to consumer energy tax credits or as a write off and a higher, say $50,000 exemption per household capital tax cut for alternative vehicles and alternative home, solar, hydro and wind for one's house or some form thereof would make some sense, but noo! Frustrating!

Well even as a Dem, I am not sure it will change much, need to clear out too many compromised apples on all sides before I will learn to like it.

Another note about Truman, the Democratic and Republican Policy Committees were established in January 1947, after President Harry Truman signed legislation to create majority and minority party policy committees in the Senate. Generally they were to provide equally funded independent legislative research capabilities to each Senate party. The House also has two respective policy committees, although I am not sure when they were established, possibly under the same legislation.

I am not going to disagree with you on the actual economic ramifications of the Clinton policy, except that he threatened release a couple of times, sorry about the actual date of the release...Gas prices each time dropped. And I agree, market forces have changed since then, including the effect of the Iraq War and other instabilities going on in oil producing areas. It doesn't matter where the oil actually ended up (under Clinton), only what the market actually thought about or how it reacted. Hence, Bush's real effect is not what rationally should happen, but what does happen as a result of him using his bully pullpit. Now the question remains will the markets actually believe him. Under Clinton the markets did...under Bush, despite the credibility problem and his oil buddy backers, they might believe him in this instance if only to help him and the GOP out in November. Nice if we all had perfect info about all company decision making but that is a pie in the sky statement so free markets like pure communism is a figament of one's imagination. Economics theory has to be combined with political effects and that is where free marketers like yourself miss the point. I understand your equation, you just leave out the profound effect of politics, both corporate, policy, and electioning can have on prices, real or imagined. Anecdotally, the old Ashland plant near the Grand Island bridge is no longer, was there 3 years ago under new management when I moved my folks West and running. Smells nicer, but no refinery is working, stacks appear to be gone too, granted anectdotal, but perception in markets is often the rule. Rumors like price manipulations can have a great effect, OPEC press releases are a case in point. And that is why Keyensian interventions can be so effective in the short run, when markets become unstable. Taking the edges of wild prices swings is good for the economy, good politically and in the long run good business. Meanwhile over a longer time frame these markets will reach a higher equalibrium that people can adjust too. I don't know if I have made my economic stances clear enough in the past, but this should summarize it more clearly. Laughable, whatever, even Bush folks understand that he has to try something that is perceived to work...i.e., effect the price of at the market. Short of doing that politically, he and the GOP will be in trouble this fall, laugh all you want at them apples.

Politically, it looks like Bush folks agree with me! http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/B/BUS...-04-24-21-02-48 NA, NA, Naa, NA, NA...couldn't resist the AD response, nothing personal.
