The Real "Roadkill Cafe"

Health officials shut down a suburban Buffalo restaurant after an inspector found employees butchering a dead deer inside the business. Erie County Health Department officials said they got a tip Friday about a dead deer in the China King restaurant in the town of Hamburg, just south of Buffalo.

An inspector soon arrived and saw the deer being butchered in the kitchen.

State health laws prohibit butchering an animal inside a restaurant.

Officials don't know whether the deer had been killed by a hunter or a vehicle. They said there was no indication the deer meat was served to any customers.

The message on the restaurant's answering machine Monday says it was closed because of "family emergencies."

How Bill Gordy Gets New Fire Equipment

How quickly Bill Gordy forgets the comments made, especially by him during the budget session. Please, allow me to remind him and everyone else. Yes, David See did say he could make the volunteers write a check, SFD David See Code.mp3 Gordo Corleone makes the members of SFD an offer they can't refuse. It's worse than having their favored pet beheaded. Bill Gordys Retirement Plan.mp3 That's how you get new fire equipment. Gary Comegys is going to support this without question, he is also not going to make any threats towards the volunteers pension fund. WHY??? Because Gary benefits from that retirement fund. Gary Comegys also voted to increase that same retirement fund. How is that for a conflict of interest? Hey...Ethics Commission, did you read that? It's on record.

WARREN BUFFETT AND GCI, CO., INC

Last week SBYnews posted the commentary about 'Warren Buffett Losing Big Time On Gannett' whereby we calculated that he had lost over 124 million dollars over the past 12 month period in Gannett's stock value. - (GCI trading symbol).

Well folks, we at SBYnews don't pretend to be financial gurus and although the math was relatively easy to extrapolate we may have inadvertently alerted the 'BIG BOYS' about Warren's latest financial blunder in his decision to hang-on to Gannett Co., Inc. - (The Daily Times parent company).

READ THE OP ED PIECE POSTED ON MSN'S FRONT PAGE OF TODAY'S MSN money, entitled,

'Leave stocks to Buffett (for now)'

Upon reading the article one could say that SBYnews was 'way ahead of its time' in anticipation of predicting the fallout.

FW: Sending $700 Billion Overseas



Last week, we added up the costs of all the government bailouts and stimulus packages (over $1 trillion), and asked how you would spend that money to better America.

Hundreds of ideas were submitted, but one kept popping up - energy - and how it ties into our overall economic problems.

It's no accident that our current economic situation comes at a time when we're sending $700 billion a year overseas for energy. That money could be used to produce more American-made energy and create more American jobs.

Yes, gas prices have dropped, but the problem has not gone away. We still need a comprehensive energy policy that will spur economic growth here in America.

At Solutions Day, our General Chairman Newt Gingrich and Texas Railroad Commissioner Michael Williams outlined solutions to our energy and economic crisis.

After you watch the presentation above, download this energy checklist with ten proposed solutions to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and grow our economy.

The time to vote is near, and knowing where your elected officials and candidates stand on these issues is very important.

Sincerely,

Dave Ryan
President

Thieves Be Damned

Last week we featured an article referencing Halloween Figures being stolen from Councilwoman Debbie Campbell's front yard.

E-mail messages have gone out to neighbors to keep their eyes and ears open for any potential vandalism in their community and as these messages went around, neighbors chose to make donations to replace the items stolen from the Campbell's residence.

I don't know about you but I find it quite interesting how mysterious things like this happen at Mrs. Campbell's home more so than you hear from anyone else in Salisbury. I don't mean to sound paranoid but it is true.

Mrs. Campbell wanted me to pass on the following message referencing some one's comment on an earlier Post.

"Joe -

A friend called me about a comment on your site about break-ins at my office and house, etc. during the election cycle when I ran for council. My home and office were broken in to and my daughter and I followed on separate occasions, but it was not during the council race. It was during a mayoral election when I was an outspoken supporter of Mayor Tilghman's opponent. The incidents were reported to SPD.

Thank you.

Debbie Campbell"

Obama Redistribution of Wealth Audio Uncovered

Mike Della Penna For Mayor Of Salisbury?


While I have attended most Council Meetings for the past 4 years, or so, I have yet to see Mike attend any of them.

While I'm sure he wants to be taken seriously, I can't. His signs are now popping up in communities quite early along with Presidential Candidates, confusing people along the way.

That being said, this neighborhood obviously isn't having any sign vandalism anywhere that I could tell. Of course, there aren't any Obama Signs and perhaps that's the problem?

I say, (referencing the Mayoral Race) the more the merrier. By the way, is Mike still delivering Pizza's for a living?

Are They???????

1995 Interview Of Barack Obama

Joe,

It would seem a missing interview with Obama has surfaced. He said that white
people don’t want to pay taxes to help city children. He said that for people to
have good jobs we have to make sure they have child care and housing, and that’s
the responsibility of society. We have to make sacrifices now for a new day and
a new age. The solutions will require an investment of time, energy and money.
He also goes on to say that he compares Bosnia to Los Angeles and blames the
problems on “ONE GROUP” trying to suppress another group. He said that his fate
remains tied up with the fate of the African American community and his own
salvation won’t come about without a “collective salvation for the country.”
Here is link so you can listen for yourself.

P.S. feel free to edit in any way.
