That's hilarious, from one who has more than once derailed a serious conversation by demanding that Ragman illustrate with something silly. [And being a nice guy, Ragman does.] Or by inserting childish humor, in lieu of any intelligent comment, because : bored, right? YOU of all people have no...

Among people who use their head for more than temporary hat storage, that's a common phenomenon - interesting that you didn't know that, lol. Actually, the 'new' information isn't entirely: some was in docs available on Wikileaks, but that wouldn't likely be found by the folks who make up their...

Pixar is to SpongeBob as Jane Austen is to Jackie Collins, lol. I'm still laughing over the "there was no backfire" comment. Do you mean that the media attention and Plame's subsequent fame [which translates into money, these days] and Libby's sacrifice was the intended goal? I think not. Why do...

Who is this "they"? In the OP, it's the voters, who decided to spend their money that way. ['State's Rights' not so great in every case, eh?] Personally, I'd agree with LDB's solution, but the problem is, that costs money too, and they just come back. Lather, rinse, repeat, with taxpayers...

It might, if one didn't know that my job requires being in NYC, Atlanta, Memphis, Miami, Chicago, Detroit, LA, and everywhere in between. Often after dark. And alone. But you certainly know it, [and you know I've been doing it for 10 years], which makes the passive-aggressive comments rather...

Yes - and a rebuke to the treatment of Native Americans [and all minorities.] What I found amazing was that the Navajo language has no written form, and cannot be learned by non Navajos - it's hard to imagine that "cannot be learned" part. Another one of those "don't know what you've got, till...

If that's true, it is pretty stupid. Alimony is a leftover from the days when women didn't have an income, and those whose husbands got 'tired' of them after 15-20 years, and walked away with a much younger woman, leaving them destitute. Times change, and the law should keep up. It should also...

Same as Highway Star: Mi, Oh, Ky, & Il, no inspection. Oh well, like PP says, they are just as likely to say you did everything right, but no sticker, cause we're permitted to screw up, while making sure you don't. :rolleyes:

Today was my first ever 'loud discussion' [including me pounding on the side of the truck] with a forklift driver, and it flat out amazed me, too: I backed to the dock to unload, and hadn't even got the handle out to crank down the landing gear, when I heard him rolling into the truck. [This...

"People also just scare far too easy" That caused my drink to end up all over the laptop, lol. From the guy who carries, because there is violent crime everywhere, all the time, and it's not even safe to walk around in broad daylight these days, right? Crime is everywhere, all the time, and we...

I agree that political revenge is an everyday thing, because politicians are human, but the revenge must be devised so as to be untraceable, or perfectly legal. ;) The "personal dig" wasn't meant to be limited to you - the word minions has been an overused buzzword of the far right ever since...

I really, really, really like Doktor Zoom's style, lol. Thumbup!

Re: Why we don't need liberal's ideas That's why I don't carry Mace or pepper spray: I saw a woman in the hospital who had hers used against her, and it wasn't pretty. Well, that and the fact that if I really thought I needed to use it, I might be so discombobulated that I sprayed it with the...

Dodson was a whistleblower [for which I applaud him], and retaliation is a well known response to that. Anyone who violated the law to 'smear' or penalize him should be held accountable. Wilson was a man who spoke what he believed to be the truth, and when it wasn't what the President wanted to...

That the attempted revenge ultimately backfired doesn't make the intent less wrong. Regarding Dodson, no one claims Obama or his admin is beyond reproach, but sometimes, [as in the Kabul slip], a cigar is just a cigar, and always seeing something nefarious in it makes one look, shall we say...

For the first two, childproofing the home and eternal vigilance. For years, sigh. For the third, negotiation. Even a 5 year old gets the concept of "You want this, and I want that, let's make a deal." ;)

"What's wrong with tagging IDs?" Ummm - how about stolen and counterfeit IDs? :rolleyes:

One of my favorite things about Les Paul & Chet Atkins is the banter - those guys have fun making near perfection look so easy. I like the music better when the musicians are enjoying it, somehow.

Yep, that was better than IRT, all right. ;) And yes, I like Van Cliburn, but lately, I love Chooka Parker. [Find him on Youtube, Australia's Got Talent] Now back on topic: we can have better roads, and it doesn't have to cost the earth - a little here, little there, but mainly, the commitment...
