It seems the Dems have finally realized their "open smugness" is not doing them any favors and so are now going back into "stealth smugness" mode. I am beginning to think we need some kind of test to see if a progressive has any real personality or if they are really just Replicants with programmed emotions. MAybe when they reach maturity as Andrew describes Roy doing in Bladerunner they become conservative/libertarian leaning. Who know..... For now I am tired of the "Fakeness" of the left.<br /><br />Good job cancelling the paper!Individualisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005025873042230314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-28146675432083830822011-01-23T11:31:44.458-05:002011-01-23T11:31:44.458-05:00Stan, I lived in a rural area for a while at the b...Stan, I lived in a rural area for a while at the bottom of a dirt road that had a similar incline. One winter, a pipe blew somewhere near by and water started pouring down the hill. It froze. A seven inch tall sheet of ice covered the road. Then it added three feet of snow.<br /><br />It took several days to dig out the snow, so the sun could get at the ice, and then I was still stuck for a total of nine days before the ice became passable.<br /><br />At that point, I decided it was time to move.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-47671113425715560222011-01-23T10:52:50.371-05:002011-01-23T10:52:50.371-05:00We just had a bout with snow in the Atlanta area, ...We just had a bout with snow in the Atlanta area, shut us down for 5days. My son and I with the help of the neighbors, on the fifth day, we had to shovel our own road off to make a lane. We live well north of the city in the foothills our road is a mountain side set on 45 degree pitch, it was a drag. As an aside, the politicians in GA have also assumed a circular firing squad.<br /><br />I canceled the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for the same reasons, useless hysterical leftist tripe.

Pretty soon he's gonna have to start paying us to keep him.

I can't imagine him winning anywhere in the South or West or even the Midwest.

And usually, after botching the first one, they would react with major overkill at the slightest hint of snow, only to fall apart again before the real second storm came later in the year.<br /><br />On the Jets, they should both be good games tomorrow. I'm not a Jets fan, but I'm super impressed with Ryan and I'm thrilled they beat the hated-Patriots. In fact, I spent all of last Monday celebrating our new national holiday -- National Patriots Schadenfreude Day. Can you believe the Boston Globe actually had a "grief section" where you could post your grief? I posted: "Ha ha!"<br /><br />In terms of DHS, I'm pretty sure that if NYC can't handle a simple snow storm, they can't handle even a minor attack. Of course, that will probably be someone else's fault too... like the Parks and Rec or the city's Librarians. . . anybody but the people in charge. As for the money, that's probably sitting in Charlie Rangel's apartments! I'd look there first.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-49263953873989058152011-01-22T16:44:51.736-05:002011-01-22T16:44:51.736-05:00Andrew - EVERYONE loves the Jets until they lose t...Andrew - EVERYONE loves the Jets until they lose tomorrow to the Steelers and no one will know them.<br /><br />As for our next snowstorm, it came and went. It was 3 inches and every snowplow, sander, salter was on high alert! I suspected the Mayor Mike would hire a million people with buckets to catch each flake before they fell to the ground. This was his "Katrina'. My only regret is that he will not resign to run for President now.<br /><br />And we are confounded! It's not like we don't get snow every year. What really got the City Council moving was the threat of another major attack. If they can't handle a predicted snowstorm, what is going to happen if there is another 9/11 style attack. We were lucky with Giuliani. He took charge and responsibility immediately. And our state has been whining about all the money we DON'T get from DHS for security. This just proved that the money we DO get is being wasted.BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-32532816439009169382011-01-22T16:33:52.399-05:002011-01-22T16:33:52.399-05:00LawHawk: You are on!

It's very educational. :-)<br /><br />As for me, I had to fly back to Florida for some family business (Bev knows but I'm not getting into it here) and missed all the hubbub.

First, ni...Bev, I don't even know what to say!<br /><br />First, nice job canceling your subscription. I love the logic of their "don't cancel us" sales pitch -- you don't like us spewing hate, but if you don't support us, you won't get the crossword!!!!<br /><br />Charlie Rangel. Hmm. What more can be said about Honest Charlie? Maybe they should seize his apartments?<br /><br />So everyone in New York is suddenly a Jets fan? I thought only Staten Islanders were Jets fans?<br /><br />Keith... ha ha ha! Let's hope he goes to some obscure web blog like the Huffington Post and never darkens our airways again!<br /><br />This whole snow thing sounds like a mess! (I love the disclaimer, by the way -- sounds about right.) How in the world they can all blame each other is beyond me. The one guy who shouldn't be blamed is the EMT guy, despite the lack of a fleet of St. Bernards.<br /><br />You would think that a city that gets snow every winter would know how to handle a snow storm. . . but I guess not. Any chance they'll be ready for the next one?AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-39741047781980490022011-01-22T16:01:48.793-05:002011-01-22T16:01:48.793-05:00Bav: This should be fun.

I'm guessing Cuomo will win, simply because Brown could wake up from a mantra-trance, see the divine light, hear the voice of the Buddha, and decide to eliminate all state spending by executive order. No logic, no thought, no politics, no ideology. Just a divine revelation.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.com
