It's a federal law. Workers were given three days' notice that they were losing their jobs, but federal law requires either 60 days' notice or 60 days' pay for the laid-off workers of companies that employee 200 or more. When my company of +200 employees in New York closed, they had to give us 60 days notice.

I'm saying make the tax variable so that if the price without the tax drops below $2.50, the amount between $2.50 and the actual cost be collected as taxes, so the base price is $2.50. If it goes over that price without the tax, then the tax wouldn't apply. $2.50 is a reasonable price that is not too high, but enough to make people consider more efficient cars and less consumption.

So you think the workers should get screwed out of their 60 days severence. Once again Wall Street gets it in the pocket while Main Street gets it in the ass. Those workers played by the rules, and all they ask is that they get what they're legally entitled to. And if it takes a small portion of the financial bailout to make it right, then I'm all for it, and good for the governor for taking a hard line to stand up for the workers.

The whole idea of the credit/bank bailouts was to free up credit so businesses could continue to operate. If after getting bailed out, a financial institution still won't provide credit, then what the hell did we bail them out for?

It's to provide the funds to pay the workers who are legally entitled to severence pay since the company of over 200 workers didn't give sufficient notice that they were closing. Federal law requires either 60 days' notice or 60 days' pay for the laid-off workers. Bank of America cut off credit to the company, so they don't have the funds to pay the workers. Yet the bank received $25 billion in taxpayer funds as part of the U.S. Treasury's efforts to stabilize the financial markets. How about withholding that money from BoA and see how they like it when someone tells them tough luck, you're on your own.

That would be a good idea to help pay for the auto company loan program or for alternative fuel technology. Set a minimum price like $2.50 a gallon, and if the actual price without tax goes lower, the difference is collected as tax. I'm concerned that people will again get complacent about energy, buy less efficient cars, and not support alternative energy programs. By not letting it get too low, it will remind people not to go back to the old bad habits.

They could probably get alot more toys if they would accept slightly used ones. People can go through their kids toys and find ones they no longer play with that are still in good shape, and would probably be more willing to do that than spend money on a new toy. Wrap it up nice, and little kids wouldn't know the difference. When he was younger I would buy used Star Wars toys on Ebay for my son, and he didn't care that they weren't new, they were what he wanted.

Team 2 easily.

The issue with Palin wasn't her limited experience as much as it was her basic lack of knowledge about issues and a lack of intellectual curiousity, which made her Bush lite.

They switched from the Bills to Jets in Syracuse. Don't trust the local station websites, they don't always update.

I know that they show the Bills on their website, but it was announced on two different radio stations Friday, including the local sports station, that WTVH announced they were switching to the Jets. I just looked at the program schedule on Time Warner cable, and it shows the Jets on at 4pm Sunday. They will still be on the radio, 1260am. I wish I was wrong, but I don't believe I am.

The CBS affiliate decided the Jets vs San Fran is the more attractive game. Last week the Bills weren't on FOX because they showed the Giants. The Bills play the Jets next week so that will be on, but after that they both play the last two games at the same time on CBS, so most likely they'll show the Jets for the rest of the season.

Offensive coordinator Turk Schonert sends the play down from the booth on 4th and 2.

I had the same thought as a plausible alternative, and perhaps OJ tried to help cover it up.

A transition official said that Favreau had "reached out to Senator Clinton to offer an apology." Looks like he already reached out to cop a feel. Hillary should corner him in a room and say, "OK big boy, let's see what you've got. Time to put up".

I would expect Minnesota to run the ball, while Buffalo will have to throw if Lynch doesn't play, so go with JP.

7 & 7 (whiskey and 7up).

So how does this work, is he born as an adult old man? How does he fit in the womb? Or is he born old but baby sized?

If we're talking about who Ralph will hire instead of who we'd want, then it will be Bobby April. He'll justify it by saying Marv Levy was once a special teams coach.

I'm blessed with too many good RBs on my teams. Team 1 (choose 2) Brandon Jacobs vs Philly Peyton Hillis vs KC Steve Slaton vs GB Willie Parker vs Dallas Team 2(choose 2) Chris Johnson vs Cleveland Marshawn Lynch vs Miami Joseph Addai vs Cincy Larry Johnson vs Denver Team 3(choose 2) Adrian Peterson (OK, obvious) Brian Westbrook vs NYG Peyton Hillis vs KC Sammy Morris vs Seattle (Choose 3 WR) Reggie Wayne vs Cincy Wes Welker vs Seattle Lance Moore vs Atlanta Hines Ward vs Dallas

Go with Pigpen, the Jags will probably run the ball alot in a low scoring game vs Chicago.

That's what you think.

Those were Planned Parenthood's own numbers from the news story.

I just checked the jobs at Turning Stone Casino west of Syracuse, and they don't have any gaming jobs listed, just kitchen and golf course maintenance.
