They have their own district. :)

Or just walk away. That's what I did in Amsterdam.

I don't have that kind of power. You'll have to look to surfer for that.

Most likely we'll turn at around 4080. BYNK

Do you know what happens to your donations? Very little goes to candidates if you give to these five organizations. It’s a scenario that has become all too familiar. You’re frustrated with the gridlock in DC; you’re sickened by the burgeoning national debt; you think the country has gone to...

How do you think we wound up here. I mean, Andrew Cuomo is such an easy symbol … If he’s so easy, why is this campaign so damn hard? (laughs) Well, one answer is that it might be easier if you had done more local political stuff – but I’m not saying that you should have become a machine...

I just got an appeal from Lawrence Lessig raising money for you, in which he compares Andrew Cuomo to Richard Nixon when it comes to the Moreland Commission scandal — in the way that the governor insisted that since it’s “his” commission, there’s nothing wrong with him having a hand in what it...

The Dean 2004 vet explains why she’s running for NY governor -- and how the left can take over the Democratic Party JOAN WALSH It’s official: The New York Times says we’re having “a Teachout moment,” by which the paper’s editorial board means it’s time for Gov. Andrew Cuomo to stop trying to...

I'll be happy to provide further information to anyone who's genuinely interested, which of course doesn't include anyone who's going on about how it's all the parents' fault and doesn't want anything different to intrude. Otherwise, I have a house to remodel.

Getting past Doh's ignorance will be a real hurdle for those who want to research this subject, but the results will be informative. To start with:

Considering how privileged you all are, it's no wonder your views of reality are so skewed. I suppose it would come as a surprise to the P&R cognoscenti to learn that are high school graduates of all colors who don't know the alphabet.
