That's old new's. Pre 9/11 I could just walk into a tower; now they look like armed forts complete with barbed wire.

You still on that land of the blind thing?

That, Sir, is a classic

link I would imagine Gitmo time added heavily to his status at home.

Cleared for take off is a blind faith trust from the pilot to tower. I have no idea if someone is about to land on the opposite end of the runway I am taking off from. Also there is the uncertainty issue. The pilot doesn't really know who he's talking to, only that they are talking on tower frequency, which anyone with a $200 hand held Av band can do. Adding a kid's voice is so unusual, I can see it raising some concern to a pilot . All in all a very bad idea. The landing/takeoff phase is no place for cuteness.

I see that. Maybe it doesn't show when you are looking down at it? '

6.4 is a baby quake. It just made the news because it was in a populated area.

The Outlaw Josey Wales 2001. The shining.

At the risk of being banned, I will leave it alone.

I hate it when being poor interferes with my dining out experience.

Interesting it was a Juan Williams report. That is going to cause some complexity's for those who love to scream racism here.

look who spends the most Results?

Blush? That rose is ready to burn like last years Christmas tree.

And why would a black need to pass today? To become, say president? I never even think about how my ancestors where treated as second class citizens 100 years ago but you drag out 120 year old court cases to excuse behavior in 2010. That attitude is what really keeps racism alive.

120 years? 6 generation's? I got news for you- when my father's mother and father moved to Buffalo in 1900 from Poland they where treated like garbage,good for nothing but manual labor, because they where Polish. So I have a 6 generation excuse for underachieving?

It all started when the CIA invented crack cocaine and AIDS.

What year?

And they still couldn't get a clear day Buffalo image.

What? There are category's of dead?

Make up your mind.

It was basically Jimmy Olson, cub reporter looking for a scoop and his editor ran it. Nothing more.

I would respond, but you are on double secret probation.

I feel the same. It was dragging out the "sexism" thing I had a problem with.

That was determined to be not his glove

That would go on pay per view. And I will be paying.
