Finally, I composed myself and told the guard that we were the ones that owned the building, paid his wages and that he better educate himself on the right to assemble. Bobbbiez, I want to be just like you when I grow up! I found this picture at the OD web site. I really wish I had remembered to remove my sunglasses before starting to speak:  |

Great speech, Frank. And really good points. Don't lose the sunglasses. I liked them!

Hey, I thought the glasses were pretty cool looking. Are those the same ones you wear when you are shooting episodes of the sopranos?? The dark suit jacket and shades make ya look like the guy on the sopranos. That right hand should have had a $30 cigar in it. Only kidding Frank. You are looking good buddy. I think it is a generational thing. WE are just SOOOO much better looking than the younger generation, LOLOL. (yeah right)   |

Geez Frank. I just went to the OD site to read about the activities and I noticed that in their usual unprofessional manner, they didn't bother to talk to you or get THE CORRECT SPELLING OF YOUR LAST NAME! Frank Corradion, Hmph. Typical of the OD.

They can call me anything. Except late for dinner.
The misspelling will make it a little harder for Homeland Security to track me down.

You all, in particular bobbbiez and frankcor, deserve a great deal of credit for actually doing something.
I've said before that I think the area's biggest problem is the overall apathy, particularly when it comes to politics. The result, most notably in Utica, has been a self-selected class of "leaders" totally devoid of any belief system other than "get mine, and get it good". Their sole goal, no matter what their nominal party affiliation, is the attainment and expansion of power.
I'd be happy to see people that really cared about principles start to get involved and, hopefully, replace them.

Much to my disappointment, the Frank Corleone (or whatever) tea shirts (my puns are always intended) are too pricey on the OD web site. Perhaps someone has an un-copy righted version from which cheap knock offs could be made for the Clipper Fest. Perhaps with a promise to donate a portion of the proceeds to the Oneida County Home for Reformed Wayward Pork Lovers.
As a vetran opposed to abortion who believes that the government should stay out of my life as much as possible & unhappy with the check I had to write to the IRS yesterday, I think the black DHS helicopters are already coming for me.

Frankcor, that was a terrific speech . . . Wish I could have been there to hear it. Hats off to Rome, what a great turnout!
Went to the Utica Party today . . . Was somewhat disappointed at the low turnout -- perhaps understandable because it was late in being organized and was at a time when most people were working -- but I got to meet some nice people. From the Utica912 website, I think they are off to a good start,

Gee Strike, did ya see a small blonde lady, ranting at a security guard about US owning the building and paying his paycheck!!  That was bobbbiez. She says that she chased him back into the building, never to be seen again, LOL I would have loved to see that also, along with Frank's speech. |

hmmmm, Bobbiez, I think you should calm down, back off, and check your facts before making a blanket statement about "all Uticans, ect." And, I think you should aplogize, fold up your tent, and move on to another crisis.

Give it a few months, China will be flooding the market with cheap knock offs that look like the real thing and will fool us peons. As a vetran [sic] opposed to abortion who believes that the government should stay out of my life as much as possible & unhappy with the check I had to write to the IRS yesterday, I think the black DHS helicopters are already coming for me. Yeah, I support gun ownership and think that every American should own at least one firearm and be trained to use it. Can't wait to see DHS in my backyard. I have a keg waiting for 'em. Figure I'll recruit them to my side... |

Bobbbiez backs off only when she's pulling the knife back out. Frankly, there's no more loyal Utican that this little woman. And I say that not just because she has made those delicious cheese things for me. Fiona, meet Bobbbiez. Bobbbiez, meet Fiona. I'll bet you two have a lot in common. |

Yep, you're right Frankie. The sunglasses should have went. The eyes express the emotional we want to deliver also. Next time, lose em. 
That was bobbbiez. She says that she chased him back into the building, never to be seen again, LOL I would have loved to see that also, along with Frank's speech.
