Chicago... Detroit....New York And exactly which New York airport do you consider to be "downtown"? LaGuardia is the closest, about 10 miles from mid-town Manhattan. But it's at least a 30 minute cab ride in moderate NYC traffic. The commute from Midway to "The Loop" is about the same...

To clarify, this warning is only presented when logging into the "Dealer" section (listen carefully to what Beck says) of the CARS website and thus not applicable or relevant to the general public. I receive the same type of warning whenever I log into my employer's Virtual Private Network from...

Ah yes...political commentary from a "Trekkie". What, were all the Harry Potter fans busy this week?:D As I recall, Kirk always seemed to get them out of the mess in the end; no?

We agree on the contributing factors. I find it hard to apply a percentage to "wrong". They were both "wrong".

She did everything right. Consider that if Sergeant Crowley had not (allegedly) mis-stated her words/actions in his report, none of us would even know who Ms. Whelan is.

While I agree with the sentiment, it seems to me that Ms. Whalen would like nothing better than to detach herself from this incident as quickly and cleanly as possible.

As I said earlier, the initial altercation was fed mostly by ego. It takes two to tango.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion.

He did say he was wrong. Like most of the right, you obvously didn't hear / didn't listen / didn't comprehend / chose to ignore it, which is why it wouldn't go away. I'm always surprised this lesson is so hard for the right to learn. And it still may turn out that he actually wasn't wrong!

I presume you're familiar with Root Cause Analysis? Just sayin' ;)

Or, more apropos in terms of defending a friends actions in the absence of evidence, or, in this particular case, the presence of contradicting evidence: "Heckuva Job Brownie!" Admittedly lifted from here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-j-elisberg/the-gop-sets-its-prioriti_b_246194.html

I actually don't think it qualifies as "profiling" as I don't beleive that Crowley let race influence his perception of whether Gates was a burglar or the resident. I do believe that this was ultimately a case of egos, which may have been exacerbated by race as Crowley may have been less...

Which was never subsequently found to be warranted.

You'll see that I've been very consistent in identifying the presidents remarks as improper, at the time, given his admitted lack of knowledge of the circumstances. I'm sure that you yourself (we're all guilty) have, in the past, made statements based on emotion or "gut feeling" which had no...

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Recent developments indicate that while his comments may have been ill-advised at the time, they may may eventually prove to be spot-on. As for the pairing, Bud goes well with roadkill or anything that can be killed with a .22 .

Set for Thursday... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/27/gates-crowley-to-join-oba_n_245383.html The Sergeant has excellent taste (but as a Boston guy I figured him for a Sam Adams fan); the President, not so much, although he's probably bowing to conservatives in choosing the "Great...

Since you've yet to respond further on the bigot accusation, I expect that I'll be seeing a retraction/apology shortly.:rolleyes:

And the fact is that even that is not illegal in Massachusetts. Hence, the dropped charges.

I thought you listened to the tape?!?!?!?!?! Ms. Whalen wasn't really concerned at all. She only made the call because the other woman prompted her to.

Perfectly legal, the goal is to get a physical description.
