It is becoming an exhausting conversation: the topic of whether or not the Buffalo Police Department can handle its job.
As a pop culture connoisseur, I take my taste very seriously. The TV shows I watch, the music I listen to and the books I read all play an important role.
I just turned on my computer this morning to find out that the Giants won the World Series. And? I don't care. Unfortunately for Major League Baseball, neither does anyone else outside of San Francisco and Arlington/Dallas. For me, baseball season has been over since July because I'm a Mets fan.

It's played out ? the debate over whether or not LeBron James made the right decision or if that decision ruined his image.
Not every decision warrants an hour-long television program, but every choice matters. No action, regardless of how minute it may seem, occurs without consequence. Consider waking up. The alarm goes off and you're forced to make an early decision: should you get out of bed, snooze for five minutes, or turn the alarm off entirely? It's a minor choice, but it has spiraling effects.

I'm never one to speak out against illegal downloading, which is undoubtedly the primary reason behind the recent low sales, but this is a completely alarming piece of information. Is it perhaps time to ease up on the non-stop downloading and "torrenting" and give back, just a little, to the music industry? The main thing to consider is who in fact it is hurting and how badly it's doing so.
To give an idea of how the web domain Wikileaks works, its first published document in 2006 raised the question if an uncovered plot to assassinate government officials, signed by sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys, was "a clever smear by U.S.
