    Gas Prices, Ouch

    Yesterday, I woke up to parity between Diesel and Gas. I put in 80 gallons of fuel yesterday and most of it was gone by the time I made it to Monroe with the winds I hit today. Mileage went from 11.7 to 5.5 for 300 miles because of the wind.

    Fed signals $600B bond program to end in June

    The economy and job creation have strengthened enough for the Federal Reserve to end its $600 billion Treasury bond-buying program in June as planned, the Fed signaled Wednesday. It has? Wow tell that to the newly unemployed and those who are trying to fill their Ford Escorts up to get to...

    First The Warning From S&P, Now The IMF

    IF you want to cut off China and their ability to use the dollar, get going on strengthening the dollar to the point that it gains in the FOREX market and the confidence returns to the US. The problem with OIL, the problem with China (which is not a real big issue right now), the problem with...

    Half and Half. Obama can't lose.

    And who's fault is that? I would guess it is the republicans who have had a few democrats come out and say the time for a leader to emerge is now, not next year and still they don't get it. Steele, Palin, Rove and others were warned in 2008 just after the election to get it together and...

    Birth certificate

    What's even funnier is someone who is now running around proudly saying he did something great for the country by "forcing" the president to reveal something that is trivial but made important by the posturing of the same idiot who is claiming he did something great for the country. God the...

    Gold Bullion Anyone

    No biggie, when the system crashes, they will be worth $35 an ounce again. Beside U of M and Harvard may have more stashed away.

    Need Seasoned Expeditor Mentor

    If you go miles, make them employees, it will be easier on you when there are issues. I would actually suggest that you drive for a few months to see what this is all about, an absentee owner in the clueless sense is the worst one to have in a fleet. BUT this goes back to what I asked, what...

    Requirements for Fed Ex CC

    D*mn, what a bunch of negitive comments. Makes me wonder if FedEx people don't want the competition in their fleet now that there may be changes to their world. :p Look if you can't get a hold of FedEx, take a look at the wanted driver ads here on EO and talk to the owners who have trucks on...

    Panther is a scam.

    So not to pee on your leg but why didn't you remove the qualcomm unit yourself and why didn't you buy your own plates? I mean when I sold my van and got rid of the truck that I 'got', the first thing I did was to take out the unit and FedEx them back to the companies where they came from - no...

    Syria Could Possibly Join UN. Human Rights Council

    What's an affront to every reasonable person on the planet is the UN itself going beyond what it is intended for and trashing sovereignty of individual countries based on the same political ideology that gave us the same problems in the past. It comes down to the idea of what little impact the...

    Gas Prices, Ouch

    You know it doesn't matter when you come down to it. $5 or $6 should be expected since the advent of the low interest rate, the QEII and the dumping of money to spur growth. Not to mention bailing out companies who went into bankruptcy because of sub-prime lending. We have to pay one way or...

    I sure hope I know what I'm doing....

    Well what's a "great deal of money" to you? Not all of us have that goal, some have paying off the truck while others have running around in perpetual vacation mode.

    Anderson Cooper Accuses Sean Hannity Of Deceptive Editing

    I take it like this, Cooper is an entertainer who wants to be taken seriously but he just doesn't cut it as a journalist. Hannity is an entertainer who wants to be an entertainer and provides little other than telling everyone they are great Americans when they get through on his show...

    A candidate with guts?

    Well Cheri, there is a problem, it is a handout. It is not based on what people put into the system that was "invested" for them, but rather the money for today's retiree is funded 100% by those who are putting into the system today. The biggest ponzi scam the world has ever seen. There was a...

    Tax Cheats Causing Budget Deficit Problem ?

    What comes to mind is how would they know this unless they caught everyone who was "cheating" at their taxes. The Fair Tax is better than a VAT tax and replacing it seems to be really easy, the system already exists in almost every state. Don't even need to make a big deal about it, retailers...

    Student Debt Edges Closer to $ 1 Ttrillion Dollars

    There is a lot of false information of what a degree does for someone, one is the idea that a degree makes you more money during your lifetime, which would be true if someone didn't get a degree where the competition is great - like a teaching degree. The other thing that many miss is a fact...

    What did you do for Easter dinner today?

    My wife decided to volunteer again this year which means I do most of the work. "We" were going to make ham and pork roast but for some reason when I picked all of it up, it was frozen solid instead of being thawed out. So instead, it was turkey Filet Mignon with the side fixings as everyone...
