  1. I think that's roughly the same quintile as the other four...
  2. Where's the "in Harlem" discussion in those links?
  3. Just for that, I'll give you a free pass on your next lame-ass Halliburton reference.
  4. You didn't "explode" into a "paradigm" by way of an "incendiary" style; more accurately, you oozed into an internet message board via an unnecessarily pretentious interpretation of faux-bougious style. You need to check your thesaurus; "internet message board" and "paradigm", and "incendiary" and "pretentious" are not synonymous. Again, check your thesaurus. "Overwhelms" and "amuses" are not synonyms either. Brother, you ain't kidding: Hermeneutically speaking, the ability to type very big words does not automatically convey the ability to use them properly in a sentence. You misused the word. Period. You can continue explaining how you didn't...but no matter how thin you slice it, it's still baloney.
  5. I think we'd be doing more good in Iraq if we air-dropped pallets of water on their heads...
  6. Actually, I think that was NBC's morning show, not their news department. Seems like a minor point...but I believe they have completely different producers, so it's an important one.
  7. Probably because he knows he still has a shot at playing TE for the Bills...
  8. I can shoot that down with one simple observation: that requires a lot of creative scheming from a group I wouldn't trust to make a peanut butter sandwich without !@#$ing it up.
  9. More left- than right-leaning schools, in my experience. However, also in my experience, I've never known anyone to be politically swayed by the culture of their school. All the conservatives I knew in college remained staunchly conservative despite the overwhelmingly liberal nature of the school and faculty. Methinks the writer of the op-ed piece is over-estimating the influence of professors and malleability of students.
  10. Looks like one...but the Yak-55 has a bubble canopy; the plane in the video doesn't (as far as I can tell - it's tough to be sure). The trailing edge of the wing looks a little off, too. Could be, though. At any rate, it handles like a Yak.
  11. Okay. So half a percent of the federal budget is crafted to specifically circumvent budgetary procedures. I'm actually relieved it's so low. Seriously.
  12. "Daddy, I want to be in a TV series! I wanna, I wanna, I wanna!"
  13. Pretty funny, thinking the three most pretentious posters here are: 1) VIVE LA FRANCE 2) Tolstoy 3) A crap throwing monkey.
  14. Actually, that's a misuse of the word "hermeneutics". "Hermeneutics" is not synonymous with "interpretation", it is a theory and means of interpretation. Strictly, no one requested a "theory of interpreting" your blather, they requested an interpretation. Too bad, though. Great word. And yes, it's blather: if you have to use "hermeneutics" in your post, you're blathering.
  15. I don't see how such a show could even be produced. It's not like Tori Spelling even lives in reality anyway...
  16. It would help if they defined "pork". And I never realized the amount of "pork" in the federal budget was so low. $10 billion out of $2 trillion? Hell, that's barely 2% of the budget deficit. Suddenly, I don't even care about it anymore...
  17. Doesn't sound like he authorized leaking Plame's identity, though. Of course, if he authorized leaking of classified info, technically he DID authorize leaking Plame's identity if he didn't specifically forbid it. And then, of course, there's the argument that if the President says "You can discuss this info publicly", it effectively removes the classification anyway...which may or may not be true, and may or may not apply anyway, depending on how specific he was... Basically, it sounds like what I expected all along. No malicious intent, just a bunch of idiots who !@#$ed up.
  18. Olivier doesn't have that great a sense of humor. If I had to place bets on an existing poster...I'd say it was Coli. More likely though, it's someone new... Either way, it's high comedy.
  19. Upstate NY has strategic industries? I can't think of any outside fast food and snow removal...
  20. And again...how, then, can they support a pro football team?
  21. And I dare say that if a city can't afford libraries, it has no business funding a stadium for a pro sports team.
  22. Of course, we could as easily end up being just as nostalgic for those days in a domed stadium as in an open-air one. The problem isn't the stadium, the problem is that Buffalo's an economically depressed backwater. Building a domed stadium won't fix that - it might make it worse, if they have to find new tax revenue to fund the new stadium, and make the market less viable than more. The best plan is probably to let the Bills move. Professional football is a luxury WNY can't afford...like art museums, or a symphony orchestra, or libraries...
