Looks like the great State of New York finally has a black governor,
albeit by attrition.  I wonder why it took this liberal, open-minded,
northeast state that supposedly freed the slaves from the racist South

I don't get st. patrick's day..What exactly is being celebrated. I was

It started with the salesman who came to my home on a previously

I have a 97 4runner 4cyl with a 3rz-fe engine. I have heard from many
people that this engine burns a lot of valve. A mechanic recently told

Its my 2004 Corolla with 83 K miles. As soon as I got it  a few weeks
ago, I changed the oil and filter. Got premium Bosch (I think) filter.

"Funny thing, this 'discretion.' For example, Senator David Vitter,
Republican of Louisiana, paid Washington DC prostitutes to put him in
diapers (ewww!), yet the Senator was not exposed by the US prosecutors
busting the pimp-ring that pampered him.

It happened after we got our brakes installed by a local backyard mechanic:
A bumping.

Repugnantcans are always preaching one thing but doing another - and
