I take it you're in favor of this 'plan' (shceme is more like it)?

Counting down for a Crayonz post...5,4,3,2...

Change his name to Marshawn, Jabari or Leodis and show your true dedication! Better yet, combine two of those names as his 1st and middle names How about Jabari Leodis Scribo...

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0808/12237.html This is fuggin crazy! Gee, let's take a companies profits and redistribute it to 'the people'. Talk about pandering to the lowest common denominator. If you vote for me I'll give your family $1000! Woo-Hoo! Free money! Oh and by the way...he's got this government budgeting all figured out too: “Obama simply asks that big oil companies contribute a reasonable share of the windfall profits they receive from high oil prices over the next five years to pay for emergency assistance for families right now,” the campaign says. So let's get this strait. He's going to force energy companies to contribute profits THEY HAVEN'T MADE YET to "working families" RIGHT NOW? This is crazy!

I see Molson Elliot is back to his old tricks...nice.

I hear you're a big Teletubby's and Barney fan also...

No worries Chef...Just don't unload those silver (colored) cuff links too soon!

Here's a gem from "Cat Lover" (got to be a Democrat): "Pelosi should stick to what she's good at, whatever that is. Don't waste your money". One of the people who gave it 5 stars writes in the first sentence of their review "I haven't read it yet..."

No doubt about it. Now how about doing something positive with the 'power' instead of caving to The Sierra Club? What, is she afraid that the ELF is going to burn her house down?

It not just the shoveling of snow, its the one month summer! You know the old saying- There's two seasons in buffalo: Winter and Construction.

That was the 1st concert I saw as a kid. The Dirty White Boy tour in 1978 at the Aud. I was 11 and went unchaperoned with an older neighbor. What were my parents thinking? My 1st experience smelling weed. I had no idea what the smell was until Mark, the buddy I went with told me. Times were different then!

Seconded. I saw it for the first time a few nights ago and he did an awesome job. One movie he was in that almost made me sick is "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead". He was banging Marissa Tomei in the beginning and it was just plain old wrong!

http://www.amazon.com/Know-Your-Power-Amer...s/dp/0385525869 I wonder if there's any botox advice in there. I bet NozzleNUT is the only one who bought this book so far.

Who can blame him? His wife's probably too sick to give it up and a man has to get some from somewhere!

So are we out of the woods because the Fed saved Fannie and Freddie? Short term, things are looking better, but I don't think this story has quite ended yet. If Israel hits Iran, stand by because commodities like oil and metals will skyrocket. Stay tuned...

Welcome to the USSA- The United Socialist States of America. It is sickening that we are at this point and a bill like this has to be signed.

18 years in WNY and 23 (on and off) in California. I couldn't agree more. while there are many things to like about WNY, there's twice as many to love about So. California. I will however join the list of people who do not care for L.A. For the record Buffalonians-don't confuse LA with Orange Cty either- there is a big difference. There are many things to like about LA as long as you don't live there. For example-last week I had business up in LA and spent the night at a friends house in Burbank. We went into Glendale to "The Americana" and had some fantastic sushi and then went to a Jazz bar and had a few drinks. The quality of the women walking around on a Tuesday night was amazing! The place was jumping and we had a great time. Just don't ask me to regularly navigate the traffic or I'd be like Michael Douglas in Falling Down. I often think about downsizing and moving to a more sustainable part of the country, but my kids are born and raised here and don't want to leave. I suspect that once they're grown and moved out we'll do just that...

That was the spooky part. Normally they will quickly leave the area once they see humans. This one apparently was determined to hold its ground. The crazy thing is that is that Marines regularly run the trails back there since it was only about 1/2 mile from one of the camps. It had to be used to seeing people. Regarding EII's stat's above, there have been quite a few cases of lions eating people in So Cal. the past few years. It seems to have dropped off since the fires in the East County. I haven't heard of anyone becoming a Scooby snack recently.

Ay yai yai...what the fug is wrong with those ads? Offensive to homos? They need to get some nuts!

No kidding! Where's FEMA!?

Why, because I'm opposed to reparations? Well, then I must be.

This reminds me of a saying an old Colonel I worked for used to say: "Life's hard, but it's even harder when you're stupid".

Awesome! Too funny! Molson, er, ellegant, you need to see your special site. You won't be disappointed!

Sounds to me like we should pay them reparations for their inconvenience...

It is awesome to see wild cats like that. Last year while my son and I were deer hunting aboard Camp Pendleton we had two mountain lion sightings in one day! In nearly twenty-one years of Marine Corps Time with much of it served on Camp Pendleton, I had never seen one. And then in one day we have a dual sighting...go figure. It is probable that we saw the same lion in different areas that day, but it was awesome none-the-less. The first time we saw it my son and I were glassing three does from above and I was blowing a fawn distress call to try to bring them into shooting range for the boy (I had already shot mine). We were in a shotgun only area so we needed them to be within 100 meters or so. Anyway, we were up above them on a hill laying prone while I was blowing the call and they actually started moving up toward us on the other side of a draw. The came up about 40 meters and stopped, looking back where they came from. The boy was getting all excited. Well, I waited a few minutes and blew the call again. Shortly after I blew it the deer ran up the hill away from us. I thought, oh well, and started glassing to my right when the boy tapps me on the shoulder and says "Dad-what is that? It doesn't look like a coyote". I look over in time to see a big azz lion chasing right toward where the deer had run to. It must've had a 4-5 ft tail which made it look even bigger. That was in the morning hunt and the boy had some homework to accomplish, so we left and had lunch and he finished his HW. We went back to our area for the evening and I set him up in an area where I know the deer usually come to feed oin the evening. The plan we for me to scope out the area while he posted up the road a bit. Like clockwork the deer were where we expected them to be. I radioed the boy and had him set up. When he told me he was in position, I pushed the deerr out of the field an in his direction. They ended up running by him but he couldn't get a clean shot so he didn't fire (good training!) and let the deer pass. He then called me and told me what happened. I told him not to worry and to double time down the road to my position because there was a buck in the field directly behind me that I noticed when I drove in. He boogies over to where I am and we're losing light fast, so I give him the binos and show him the deer in the field about 150 meters from us. I tell him to quickly proceed dwon the road and hedge row to get positioning for a shot. As he steps away, I notice another body in the field off to the rightmost edge, so i stop him and glass the animal. Sure enough, it's a lion and he's in a crouch position behind some mustard grass. The reason the buck I saw (which I drove right past when I came in) didn't move is that he must've known he was being stalked by the lion. To make a long story short (or vice versa), the boy didn't want to go down the road to shoot the deer anymore. He was spooked about the lion. I told him that as soon as he shoots, the lion will run, but he didn't want to do it. at this point I'm getting upset and raise my voice a bit telling him to hurry up since we were losing daylight very quickly. The deer suddenly runs away and disappears into a hedgerow at the back of the field, but the lion continues to sit in the field in a crouched position. Now I'm interested why he's still sitting there when it clearly could see us moving and knew we were there. I tell the boy to follow me and have the gun ready just in case, and started moving toward the lion. Believe it or not, it didn't move! It just sat there as we closed the distance between it and us! We got to about 40 meters from it and with it being nearly dark now I told the boy we'd better back off and leave it alone, so we went back to the truck and left. Driving out that night, we nearly got hit by two fawns crossing from one field into the one where the lion was sitting. Now we know why the lion wouldn't move-it knew it had a prime hunting spot! Anyway, this past February we were out camping in the desert riding motorcycles with some friends who work as civilians on the base and I told them this story. My friend tells me that just a week or two earlier a woman hit and disemboweled a 200 lb. lion about 1/2 mile from where I was hunting! Of course, I'm not sure it was the same one, but the one we saw was plenty big. Long story about a really cool experience...
