Go back to your little island and crumbling "Empire" Do you really want us to bring out the history books and bring out the Roman origins of the names and places in your area? Inbred retard, go drink your tea.

Oh, gawd, it isn't enough that we have to put up with the arrogant a-hole from NYC, the not-so-honorable governor Elliott Spitzer (have you ever known a guy named Elliott that wasn't a complete nerd?), and the Tweedle-dee (Joe Bruno) and Tweedle-dum (Shelden Silver) of the NYS criminal enterprise known as the Legislature, but nooooo.... now we have to survive a visit from choking, puking Hector himself! Where's the cyanide, Mom, it's too much to ask!

AMD will NEVER build in Luther Forest, and the government of NY state will again have thrown away more than a billion dollars of taxpayer money, because AMD will figure out some way to get Spitzer, Bruno and Silver to let them off the hook. All it will take is a few well placed bribes...

Of course, the "Empire State". What Empire? Why, the old British Empire, of course. Quite quaint to see them keep the old colonial name of "New" York. Can never quite free yourself from old Mama Britain's apron strings, can you?

The state of New York nickname is the Empire State, that is where the name of the Empire State Building is derived.
