"teahadist"
Really? Really? You are fine with tying a political group that happens to be of a different view than you to a term for religious/violent warfare.
That is a shame you sink...
Zeyrek,
I am not sure you understand the scale of our area. If top priority is biking to work you need to start with locales around your workplace. From one side of our metro area [[including...
Thur night's shooting may not have been targeting cops.. it was an unmarked car. Not that shooting at a regular car driving down the road is any better??
Just released this statement:
"Turkia Mullin is very talented and resourceful, but unfortunately the situation she finds herself in has become an obvious distraction that will continue into the...

Perhaps my illustrating the absurd with the absurd was lost on you. the "Machine Shop" was meant to be the polar opposite of the cool.. glamorous movie jobs. Fact is the better play with tax...

This comes down to this: Tax dollars being spent to make jobs to...
