  1. “Speaking of AY, I was driving down Flatbush this morning, and I see no more left turns btw GAP and 4th. Expert is not going to be happy!”

    Denton, were you heading east or west? Heading west, there are lots of streets you can’t make a left turn onto. Heading East I’m not so sure.
    I try to avoid Flatbush!

  2. This is a message for Mr. Vladimir Putin.

    So you thought you could teach us a lesson by dumping dollars and putting your foreign reserves in Euros, huh? Well maybe when you’re done sucking it you can use a stack of your foreign reserves to light a fire, you insecure Russian asshole.

  3. I agree with bxgrl. Americans were the targets of the attack. Others may also have been victims if the car had exploded, but the terrorist would likely think of them as collateral damage, rather than the main focus of the attack.

    Geez, what happened to respect and civility in society?

    ET,

    respect and civility were replaced by
    ludeness and belligerance somewhere
    around 1985 with Madonna
    using Christian iconography for
    props in a music video.

    …only half kidding.

    oh my God, Legion, I have so much work to do today that I can’t stay for that, but I am actually doing a presentation on this topic in Spanish at Instituto de Cervantes tonight in a class. I’ll be talking about the exhibit “Sensations” that was done at the Brooklyn Museum in 1999. About “stealing” for shock value, these images.
    Well, anyway, I better get back to work or I will do no work here at all. see ya..

    It was the beginning of the end once The Beatles appeared on TV.

    dibs,

    without the Beatles, there would be no disrespect and incivility. 😉

  6. “No I stand by what I said…the use of Americans (and, you will note, of “Californians”, “texans” etc at state-level) is meant to show exclusivity and by extension superiority.”

    I disagree.
