WNEP actually quoted him. Something along the line of "If they would just answer the questions I wouldn'y come to deeze meatins" Has Scranton sunk so low that they are quoting the ray lymans of the area now. While they are at it they should go down to St. Francis and see what those guys have to say about the Alberto Gonzalez situation or maybe go the the state hospital and see what some of the feelings pertaining to the Iranian gun boat seaizing the brittish seamen and how it may affect the growing hostility in the regeion with regards to the proliferation of the sectarian violence in Iraq.
My wife is in, she'll two-way info as often as she can, if she can. One thing I dont understand, "what was Ray talking about? He dosent know about this web-site?
They are kidding right??? All of those Nutjobs know about that website ...

I say "prove it". Nobody heard of this guy until a year or so ago - the Gulf War is already in the history books and Ray-boy doesn't look THAT old.
It's a far cry for ANY person to make the distinction of pronouncing the words am-bu-lance and mee-tings, instead of amalants and medinz. ... war-related?? Please ... Give us a 'reason' and can the bull$hit 'excuses'.
My dad was a Vietnam War vet. He was a recruiter in NJ in the late 60s. Not particularly glamorous, is it? He was still considered a vet and was entitled to military benefits and honors upon his death.
Being a vet does not necessarily mean he was a combat vet, or that his life was ever in any danger.
Hats off for serving his country, but lets not canonize everyone who put on a uniform, huh?
I'd have a tough time believing that this guy was a vet...but if he was, then he should be honored for his service. However, once he steps up to that podium, he makes the decisions about what to say and how to say it...and he has to live with the consequences, veteran or not.
My dad was a vet...he was in the Medical Corps and was stationed first in Tokyo and then Alaska during the Korean War. While he was not near any combat, my mother tells me that seeing all the wounded really messed up his head, which goes to show that people in combat aren't the only ones who can get injured.

Well I was a vet and that never afforded me any special treatment at DD.com. In fact, I was told repeadely that no one with my opinions could ever actually be a vet. Somehow Ray gets a free pass to act like an ass in public, but I crack wise on an anonymous message board and am the antichrist. Go figure.
Art, didn't Mr. Burch throw some obscenities at you (probably lifted from some Iron Maiden song or a Friday the 13th movie), tell you that there's no way you're a veteran, and challenge you to a duel at high noon?
Yep, that's exactly what he did Sam. I don't believe I responded to him. Something about kicking the crap out of some country hick who has a fascination with horror flicks and retards like Pilchesky doesn't excite me.
That said, should our paths ever cross and he decides to foolishly pursue the matter, I won't ask him or the people at the hospital he is taken to, for my size 12 boot back after they surgically remove it from his ass. I know it's not a huge gift, but I offer it in the spirit of the season.
Did we all catch Lyman's rant last night in his sad attempt to rail on Judy? "Dats a kwes chun Miss Katelli"
It sure sounded to me like that was a prompt from Fay. Is she trying her hand at wrtiting for or prompting what other speakers are saying?. That remark is exactly what Fay says when she is trying to egg Judy on. Poor Ray - he had the old man in his ear and now he has FAY giving him pointers? The poor, poor bastard. Someone should just make him wear a big, padded football helmet and underpants from k-mart.
And what the hell was in that grocery bag he kept parading back and forth in front of the camera? Oh, maybe it's his (mental head slap) briefcase.
It was nice to see Ray in classic form at the podium on Thursday; my only disaprointment was that I did want to hear Courtright try and explain the Scranton/Dunmore reciprocal agreement to him.

Don't worry Ag, this week on "As The Council Turns", we'll have a new YouTube video of Lyman attempting to get the word 'reciprocal' out without too much stress and strain. He might have to tuck an extra pair of tidy whiteys in that briefcase of his, alongside his washable markers and his Joe Pilcheski bobble-head doll.
