There are plenty of us who support all of the rights protected by the Constitution. We just aren't very vocal about it. And kindof OT.. the best thing the ACLU could ever do, imo, is to revise their ...
It's really quite incorrect to continue to identify this individual as a "Yuengling driver"....
"according to Alan Rosner, a retired strategic and business analyst, and known opponent of the arena" Fixed that for you....
AFAICT most of the 'psychotic pride' crowd doesn't even have Asperger's. They just read too much slashdot....
According to Arbitron's website, the July Peoplemeter book closes tomorrow. He's playing everyone so that he gets a bit more $ out of the advertisers....
bv2112: That's a big if. What if there had been increases in energy costs? Is it still fair to expect things to improve? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying metro is perfect or that people shouldn't c...

"The stories I saw gave the impression the employees were all for working more for those four days in return for the extra day off." The story on NPR had at least one employee who was not sure how sh...
The anti-regulator's cry is always "small businesses!!!" But I don't see anything that is all that difficult to implement at the grower's level. They just need some barcode printers and a basic reco...
IMDB lists it as 152 minutes.. so they sat there for 2.5 hours? It couldn't have been that bad, then. However if the AC was non-functional, the theater should have been communicating to customers bef...
That paragraph is correct, it just needs clarification. The second mention of Giants is the baseball Giants....
Oh yeah? Well they rejected my op-ed, too. Welcome to the club, John. While I understand the NYT's reasoning, I do wonder how much they considered the practical effects of this decision. This will be...
