Things are quite different now than the old Tri-Valley league. Once again, I don't mean that in a bad way.

That's not going to happen. It's one of the highest welfare county in NYS. Thanks for your concern.

saw on the news yesterday that an invalid registration doesn't equal an illegal vote-that first time voters must show id at the polling place, which might cause an issue if the registration is invalid...

I felt bad about some of the beatdowns we put on some of those teams. Bishop Scully was usually pretty tough but I dont think they exist anymore.

I would hope so...This isnt Uganda or Nepal. That the people who illegally register voters like they did arent being prosecuted harshly is a joke.

Yeah, Fort Plain was a "door mat" between 1983 until 1991. Draper was pretty good during those years.

Bishop Scully went out in like 1989 or 90. Spa Joined the league in the mid-90's. In fact, the old Tri-Valley is now the WAC which includes some old Schoharie Valley teams. Phonzie is having a field day on some of those teams. I can remember in the 80's when Spa had some big battles with Watervilet?? Or was it some other team?

Yeah we got booted out of the Northern league after not losing more than 1 game like 8 years in a row. Watervliet was a tough team, had a really good coach, mardigim or something like that.

Getting back to the Palin issue, Gloria Steinem hit the nail on the head today...this was in no way the fault of Palin and if McCain's people try and blame her for the loss...well, they will incur the wrath of fair-minded folks I think. MCCain alone is at fault...he picked Palin afterall. It was a cheap political ploy designed to try and get some (they were arrogant enough to think many) Hillary supporters to cross over. It was an insult to all women to suggest they'd be gullible enough to ignore all the issues just to vote for a woman. McCain either didn't do his homework or simply didn't care about her politics (far right and in most cases directly opposed to the majority of women's views). As Ms Steinem pointed out in several op ed pieces, democratic women know Hillary Clinton and she is no Hillary Clinton. To assume that women would be blinded by her gender was a huge insult. Sure, Palin could have refused to run but what politician wouldn't jump at the chance? Now we hear from the McCain camp that she went rogue and became a diva, they try and make a big deal out of her wardrobe (the money given to her by the RNC by the way). I disagree with almost every one of Palin's views but I respect her for giving it her best...she didn't lose the election, McCain did!

There was a player for Spa Catholic whose last name was Cherry and was really good, he played sometime in the mid 80's I think.

There were three of them. The one you are thinking of, Scott, went to N. Carolina.

That's right, now I remember....he was an assitant coach for team that made the NCAA tourney a few years back.

It wasn't just black, but also white, green, blue, yellow and everything else.
There are welfare types who feel that their status is now been risen because of this. I had no racial intentions by any of my post.

How do you know that?

I would have joined them if I was there, and I'd deeply resent being called a welfare type.

Submitting the names Mickey Mouse or a football teams roster as registration requests because someone is a voter registration volunteer who is lazy isn't a crime.

Someone showing up at a polling place and trying to vote as Mickey Mouse is.

Hasn't happened, and is not voter registration fraud until it occurs.

ACORN, by law, cannot throw out such obvious fakes (legally no voter registration card can be unforwarded to the proper election officials by ACORN) - but they have labeled them as suspected fakes and then they forward them on to election officials as they are legally required to do.

The above has been repeatedly covered in the biased liberal media press.

Now, the first Mayor Richard Daley ... ah, the good old days

It was time. And timing is often the deciding factor.

not do a thing about it. No Republican could.

Colin Powell perhaps could have given Obama a run for his money....
