Okay, you don't like "Republicans" in that context......how about "New York business interests"?

Interesting that the Secret Six who backed John Brown's attempt to start a race war were mostly from New England and New York.

Keep playing innocent. On these threads, it won't play. Yeah, the North was just standing around smoking a cigarette, and -- holy hell! A Civil War broke out!

Yeah, right. History for the barroom crowd. Read a book, get smart and stuff.

No, wrong again, cigars, not cigarettes, Cubanos in glass tubes, and then the Civil War stated.

I must head back down to Louies Bar & Grill on the Bowery.

Just kicking it in traffic :)

M. Espinola isn't really a person, but a failed A.I. project written by a first year comp-sci student at a community college in New York. More commonly known as M_Espinola.exe, it began as a program to run on a voice mail server. M_Espinola.exe was loaded onto the college's voice mail server and quickly crashed the system, leaving most of the stored messages jumbled as well as the outgoing messages for individual voice mailboxes. Most were deleted or overwritten. While technicians were trying to reinstall the old program, M­_Espinola.exe was transfered to the school's LAN. An intern accidentally ran the program and before it could be shut down, it migrated to the router controlling the campus' access to the Internet.

Most sites infected with this virus-like program were able to contain and delete it. Unfortunately, some Ukrainian script-kiddies came across a copy of M_Espinola.exe and modified it so it could get through the firewalls used by most blog and chat servers. FR seems to be especially vulnerable. It's best to put the screen name "M. Espinola" on bozo until this problem is addressed by the sysadmin.

In the meantime, take jackasspirin for symptomatic relief.

They were abolitionists, not 'money men'

It was slavery they were trying to end, albeit, a stupid and criminal way.
