Antoine Thompson is harassing me
More specifically, Antoine Thompson's office is harassing me. The first time they called I said I was not going to vote for him and that I did not want them to call me again. The second time they called I reminded them that I already asked them not to call me anymore and I added that Antoine disgusts me. They called me again today and left a message that I received after I voted for Mark Grisanti. I really hope this jerk loses.

It's kind of ironic that my vote mattered so much in this election and that it may tip the balance of the senate to republican. I voted for Grisanti because Antoine makes me sick. Abuse of power is a disgusting display of inadequacy. Let's hope we are saying goodbye to Antoine! Listen up politicians, if you go against the voters, they will respond.

They said on the radio today it could be several weeks before they finish the tally.

It looks like the dumb ass harasser lost :::link:::

Grand Island is what did him in after all! The absentee ballots are most likely from the people that are down in FLA or away on business so they vote Republican.

He's not in my district, but I hope he loses just for putting a Stupid Traffic Circle right off the I-190 in Grand Island.

I don't know any of his politics but (can't say if he did it or not) but isn't he in and FBI probe about Casino gaming or something and I think there might be some other scandel is he the guy with the book thing.......

In Terms of the not calling back thing that is a pain. Maybe the person who called you didn't record the not calling back or it got lost in there some where not sure. It is weird though that they would call you back after you told them not to. Maybe the guy is a bill collector on the side so he doesn't take no for an answer... On a more serious side I wonder if and how you report that to the board of ellections.....?????

A free showing of the documentary “Gasland” and a discussion with filmmaker Josh Fox will take place at 7 p.m. Saturday in Buffalo State College’s Bulger Communications Center.

The documentary about the natural gas drilling process known as hydraulic fracturing—which is causing controversy in Collins and other parts of Western New York—was awarded a special jury prize at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

The presentation is sponsored by the college’s Communications Department, Students for Peace and State Sen. Antoine M. Thompson, D-Buffalo.

Thanks for posting this, (e:libertad). I haven't seen it yet and would be very interested in seeing Josh Fox, although I've read the research and stories that it's based on. I'm honestly not sure I can handle more graphic pictures than what I've already seen in real life, or illustrations to accompany all the horror stories I've read.

I haven't seen any of the natural gas-related movies: Split Estate and All Fracked Up are anti-drilling, Gas Odyssey is pro-drilling, Haynesville is somewhere in between, trying to balance a lot of different perspectives. I don't watch a lot of movies, and rarely watch documentaries.

I hope folks will take advantage of this opportunity - if we want to go as a group, I'm in.

Robo calls for lost pets
I received a message on my home phone yesterday. It was a robo call about one of my neighbors lost pets. I think it is kind of abnoxious but understandable at the same time. I did some pretty crazy things to try to get my bike back but I never thought about robo calls. I don't think this should be legal. I'm really getting sick of political robo calls too. It is my phone and I don't want anyone calling it unless I have given you the number. I am on the do not call list.

They charge A LOT of money and I kind of doubt that they really work. I'm sure a lot of people who pay for this really can't afford it in the first place. Check out their pricing plan which ranges from $85 for 250 calls to $850 for 10,000 calls.



Sorry about your lost kitty, but I think you should stick with signs and advertisements in the paper or craigslist.

Maybe the next time Basra runs off you can robo call the neighborhood (e:PMT)?

Thanksgiving 2010
I want to bring some food to share for my family's Thanksgiving day dinner. It will also be celebrating my Grammy's 80th birthday. I really would like to bring something special so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions? It would have to be something I could make the night before and that I could travel with in a cooler for 3-4 hrs. It could be a dessert but would like to stay away from the pies. My family never has seafood on Thanksgiving and I was thinking that might be a nice change but I can't think of anything I could make the night before.
