Sure, I know every inch of the way from Albany to Buffalo.  And you know what it got me?  Port sores and an unnatural affection for watered down beef stew and pale harbor trollops with spectacularly lumpy asses. Hauled some barges in my day, indeed.

I’d be interested to get the establishment feminist take on this case, in which a woman who cried rape is indicted for the death of her lover—even though it was her husband who shot him dead: Darrell Roberson came home from a card game late one night to find his wife rolling around with another man in a pickup truck in the driveway.

He said the captives, who were seized while on patrol in the northern Persian Gulf on March 23, would be taken to Tehran airport at the end of the

…to make a “progressive” omelet. Which gives me an idea:  Bush simply needs to go on TV and re-frame the Iraq War as a “protest” against “the Ba’athist / al Qaeda / Iranian Man,” and before too long, thousands of papier-mâché puppet heads will be reporting for surge duty.  All the DoD need do is arm the “protesters” with country-style barbecued pork ribs or eggs blessed by Jews, and voila!
