I didn't so much make a statement about oil as I was agreeing that this latest attack by Islamic fundies in INDIA had nothing to do with oil. Try going back and reading again....

Except of course the article is about a train bombing in India. But hey, feel free to make it about Iraq if it makes you happy. And should we or anyone not "do something about it"? We should accept it as a part of modern life, put on the blinders, and say "sh*t happens"? I can't accept that as a reasonable response to a problem that will, in all likelyhood, get worse.

The cast on SNL may be ok, but the skits are generally garbage these days. I've watched SNL for most of it's history, and the writing is as bad as it's ever been. It used to be that the first hour was good and you could count on the last 30 minutes to be so-so at best. Now, by the 3rd sketch, it's horrible. Even the music acts are terrible now, as half of them aren't even truly "live". Ashlee Simpson was just unfortunate enough to get caught, but I"m pretty sure she is closer to being the rule than the exception. (Example - AFI was on recently, and their backup vocals were a little too good, and then I noticed that even though the bass player didn't quite make it to his mic when he had to sing, his vocal part miraculously appeared.) I'm fully in the MAD TV camp now which sucks because I have been a life long fan of SNL.

We all know that girls schools are shelled with mortars and people are beheaded because of our imperialism and greed for the sticky black stuff.

Read the entire "regression from the mean" thread.

The NCAA standards for what is offensive are random at best. "Seminoles"? No problem. "Fighting Irish"? OK. "Fighting Illini"? RACISTS!

Isn't that "The Hamburgler"? Anyway, I didn't hear the press conference, but from what I have seen I can't fathom why people are flipping out. This and the way people are ready to lynch the local weathermen for predicting 6-12 inches of snow (when there actually was 6-12 inches) blows my mind. I think most of the bright people left Erie County and we are left with some sort of "stupid vacuum".

Is that the show where we played on the huge deck in Rochester? That was a good time. We ended up getting loaded and stumbling around town. I ended up getting some sandwich called a "porta-bomb" which was frikkin awesome. Plus thosee tee shirts you guys had were sweet. Can you and your crew make it to the show next weekend? We'd love to see you all there!

That's right... Big Balls, WNY's one and only AC/DC tribute band is back. The 3 time Buffalo Music award nominees will be playing their long anticipated reunion show on Feb 24th, and Club Infinity! If you love (or even like) AC/DC you must check out the show. It's a great show, and an even better party. There will be a ton of dirty young girls there who always come out for the show. Hope to see you all there!!!

The thought does bring up an interesting point though. NYS has not gone Republican in the presidential election since 1984. If there is anyone that can do it in '08, it would be Rudy.

Nice body, yes. Pretty face? God no!

The most deadly joke in the world!

But.. but... Nazis!

Bah! I was gonna make a gravity crack! Damn you!

It wasn't so much hotpocket mentality as it was wishful thinking. I have serious doubts that Iran can be persuaded to drop their plans. I hope the UN can get something done, but I've seen the results of their efforts in the past, and have been less than impressed. It seems that if a nation really wants to get the bomb, all of the non-proliferation treaties in the world won't stop them.

Now if we can only get Iran to do the same...

If she thinks the American public was responsible for her Grammy awards, she is dumber than she looks.

That makes my joke even more funny, for a completely different reason! I was referring to when he stole that cops horse here in Buffalo and took it for a joyride. To call her a horse is even better. Then again, since his rumored gay lover is Manning, and Peyton has a horse face too....

I actually pushed for him to be hanged. Since he wants to pretend he is a cowboy, I always felt he deserved frontier justice for being a horse thief.

Yeah, and the problem is that our credibility is shot to sh*t.

For the same reason they don't ban Pearl Jam who are fairly anti-Bush. It serves no purpose for them as a company. I know you were being sarcastic, but it brings up an important distinction. The radio stations that banned the Dixie Chicks did so in large part for publicity and ratings, and not really so much because of some misguided and over-zealous patriotism. They knew that the majority of their country station listening audience would applaud such a move, and it would probably reflect well on the station and their advertisers. Or, in other words: $.

But wasn't the criminal issue related to their monopoly, and not what they chose to play? Granted the two are related in that CC had to much power in that they controlled too much, but there is no crime in what they choose to play or not play.

Huh? What exactly about that is a criminal act?

I'll help ya... (Man, I'm REALLY bored today... ) http://www.cbc.ca/arts/story/2006/06/10/di...tour.html?print The Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines in New York in 2003. Maines's anti-Bush remark has had an effect on the band's concert sales in some cities. (AP Photo/Frank Franklin II) "This time around, we are willingly feeling our way through unchartered territory," said the statement. "Things don't come as easy as they might have come in the past, and it makes each accomplishment more exciting and appreciated. We will go where the fans are with great anticipation and no regrets." The group's spokesman is also quoted in a Saturday Los Angeles Times article as saying there has been "some reshuffling of dates" and additions to the itinerary. The Dixie Chicks' latest album, Taking the Long Way, opened in the No. 1 spot on the U.S. charts, selling 526,000 copies in seven days. Continue Article Industry reports say ticket sales are sluggish in Republican states because of the prolonged backlash to a 2003 comment by singer Natalie Maines at a British concert. She had said the group is ashamed to come from the same state, Texas, as President George W. Bush. "Basically, they're having to rethink the entire tour at this point," Gary Bongiovanni of the concert industry magazine Pollstar told Reuters. Concert schedule changes Bongiovanni says dates in Memphis, Tennessee, Oklahoma City, Indianapolis, Houston and Fresno, Calif., might have to be dropped from the tour. An extra date has already been added in Toronto."
