Clintons' critic injured in crash

OWASCO - A retired state trooper and former restaurateur was hurt Wednesday night after his pickup truck hit two large rocks and overturned in a grassy field.

John Angyal, of the 3800 block of East Street in Skaneateles, was driving on Oakridge Road toward Melrose Road when he was apparently distracted by a bee buzzing inside his car. He told police he was swatting the bee when his car swerved off the road.

Eyewitness Josie Vozga saw Angyal's vehicle hit a large rock near a driveway.

"Then he went into the air, and hit that rock," Vozga said, pointing to a second stone on the opposite side of the driveway. "He came up just enough for me to see the bottom part of his truck. It sounded like he hit another car."

Angyal's truck then skidded across a lawn, into a grassy field, and flipped over.

By 11:15 p.m., the accident scene had been cleared. A few town employees remained at the site, combing it for the former trooper's badge, which he said flew out of the truck after it struck the stones.

Officers responding forced Angyal to keep talking, fearing he would lose consciousness. He sustained a gash on his neck, and multiple scratches, Vozga said.

He was in stable condition Wednesday night at Auburn Memorial Hospital, after spending much of the day in the emergency room.

Angyal once headed the state police water-rescue diving team. Last year he sold his restaurant, Angel's Heavenly Hamburgers in Skaneateles. He has also served as a supervisor and judge in that community.

He gained notoriety a few years ago when then-President Bill Clinton and his family vacationed Skaneateles.

Clinton' wife, Hillary, who was beginning her ultimately successful run for U.S. senator from New York, took some heat from Angyal's eatery. He listed two items on the sandwich board after Democrat and then-first lady Hillary Clinton -- the "Hillary Special, Mostly Baloney," a fried-bologna sandwich, and the other, the $4.95 "Hillary's Chicken Dinner: two small breasts, two left wings and two large thighs."

I dunno, I'm feeling sorta sorry for the Murrster. Probably sitting home all alone, back of plaid prairie skirt tucked up inside her panty hose, trying frantically to peck her replies to her detractors. I fear she may try something desperate in an attempt to restore her standing in the Freeperhood. Hell, she may even be trying to send her Opus to us at this very moment.

"Hell, she may even be trying to send her Opus to us at this very moment."

Now that is one Opus I want to see!

Say, are you going to post it for her......After All, it is TGIF!!!!

(and she can't post anymore) ;~)

Good for you!

Did you know that the story of Doug's Fish Fry restaurant snubbing the Clintons really pi$$ed them off. They were livid. One of their hit boys wrote this piece of garbage Skaneateles, New York's 'beautiful lake surrounded by fascists,' about it---also claiming Skaneatles was Anti-Semetic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huh!????

Anyway--enjoy the Fingerlakes again this summer!

Here is an excerpt from that link:

When the Clinton trip was announced, local merchant Doug Clark seized the moment to announce "If Bill and Hillary came to Doug's Fish Fry, I would refuse them service because they are intoxicated with power. And I could claim they appear to be intoxicated -- I have a beer license. I just don't want them in my restaurant." This yokel actually thought he was being clever. Of course he had some support, but nearly everyone I spoke with made the same point -- if the president of the United States wants to walk into your greasy fish fry, kiss his hem and cook the fish.

Can you believe these people? Kiss his hem? They really thought the Clintons were royalty!

Personally, I don't want to get near Hillary!'s mouth or Billy's breath.

[sighs] But even when your turn comes, and you get banned, it will be a sad day, and I will not smile.

See you around the forum. (Stand back as I engage in my "obnoxious affectation"--)

>This forum is not about "cool" or bogus.

I was going to include this in my joint reply to you and AD, but, really, this is a newflash that deserves a post of it's own.

Sorry, HG, but this forum not only is about the bogus and the cool, but all of existence is ONLY about the bogus and the cool.

That's all there is, that choice and the consequences.

But don't worry. Remember what Page & Plant said:

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.

Sorry, HG, but this forum not only is about the bogus and the cool, but all of existence is ONLY about the bogus and the cool.

"What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

Feel free to consult the above whenever appropriate.

Thanks so much for the running commentary. [rolls eyes]

[sighs] But even when your turn comes, and you get banned,

[raises eyebrow] Particularly sensitive about the banning stuff, aren't you? [furrows brow] Could there be a reason? [expresses knowing look] Have you felt the wrath of JimRob in the past?

I wish I could see if your face has turned ASHen. [chuckles]

You may rest assured that I consider the ability to post on this board a privilege and engage in this pursuit solely for the education and entertainment of the FReepers and Lurkers.

See you around the forum.

How cruel to offer me such a curse.

You head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know.
The piper's calling you to join him.
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know,
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind...

Sorry, just hadda do it!
