    Mitt Romney exploring 2012 presidential run

    You know Gingrich's personal life is not the issue, his political life is. He left and floundered for a while than returned to the spot light not because of some revelation in political thought but rather to sell his books. The distrust for me is he is Reagan era republican with a track record...

    Business tax cuts don’t spur more capital spending, study shows

    Keep in mind that they have an embedded tax in their system - VAT - and this has an overreaching effect on how tax rates move the economy. Because we don't have that embedded tax, our system even though messed up is better equipped to move the economy than theirs. They can't see the effect as...

    "Atlas Shrugged"

    I agree many books are transformed when movies are made but this isn't a book where they can do that simply without losing a lot of the books' core. I think what I'm trying to say is the essence of the book will be lost in translation from the printed word to the big screen.

    BS!!! No Shuttle for Houston but one for NY??

    AND? The city wasn't the only location for NASA. I think maybe we need to get over the symbolism of these government things and look to a better future. The shuttle was not the best thing that came along, it should have started to be replaced in the early 90's when we could have done that...

    $265,000 to welfare in a few years-

    Danny, Don't take this wrong but your friend needs to get a life and learn life isn't fair. SO what if he has a crisis with the reality of our tax system, it won't change so get over it. If he wants to be a lazy a**, then he shouldn't be afforded the comfort of using a system that is...

    Mitt Romney exploring 2012 presidential run

    Call it what you want to call it but the issue is how people think and what inspires them to move up in life. We live in a society where we look at the past for any excuse to remain angry at what we are handed and not to the future. Too many times people feel they have no choice or hope while it...

    Left not standing for what they say..

    Well first no one can refuse Medicare, it is something a lot of people want to avoid. Second the system is an extension of the health care system in so much people are not involved with the payment hence the payments are substandard. If the system wasn't a direct pay, and those who were in the...

    "Atlas Shrugged"

    The problem is that the book encompasses a lot of little things in it while the movie has to be less than 4 hours long. In order to cover the book, the movie is said to be like 9 hours long. Something that Ayn Rand said about making movies out of her books, in order to tell any story...

    Okla Tells barry to "Stick It"..Won't take Fed funds for barrycare

    No it won't, the problem is that the states accept federal funds for a number of things and this can be leveraged into forcing them to take the funds. OK - nope don't want them, don't need them. Administration - OK Oklahoma, we will cut your highway funding off until you do. OK - opps we...

    Left not standing for what they say..

    No not really. There is no federal right to the money they force you to pay into the system, nor is there a return on that investment that you are entitled to, this is a clear fact that has to be corrected by an amendment. The SC ruled that the payer is not entitled to that money back in the...

    Misery loves company

    Taking the marxist theme out of my post for a moment, as someone who has experienced a failed school system, I do believe that anyone can teach. There is nothing special about teaching kids, a lot of parents do that everyday. By the way I don't believe the school system is Marxist.

    Will Republicans revolt over Boehner's budget deal?

    I hope so, the $38B is not really a savings, the republican party seems to be split with the newbies p*ssed off and we can actually use the government shut down. After the messiahs' speech yesterday, many wonder what the republican party actually did other than claim a victory - it wasn't a...

    Left not standing for what they say..

    Liberals or both conservatives and liberals? The tea party people are a great example of hypocritical thinking. They want to cut government, cut spending and cut a lot of other things but when asked about Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, they say ... nope. If you want smaller...

    Debris Removal Charge?? Permission From Dispatch??

    Brisco, Why bother, a few get the idea of customer service while most don't. I give up on them. Glad I do work for a company that has a diverse range of freight and allows me to actually run things as a business, not an extension of their business.

    BS!!! No Shuttle for Houston but one for NY??

    What's the big deal about Houston? It flew out of Florida, it was made by a company who was HQ'ed in Seattle and it was paid for by a president who was born in Yorba Linda California.

    Box Floor Coating

    I know of two owners who have "painted" their decks. One used an Epoxy paint they use at power plants (got it at a DTE surplus sale) and it has held up pretty good. The other used Garage Floor epoxy paint which also has held up pretty well.

    Texas Style Sleeper

    1. If done correctly (DOT Specs) are these accepted by most major expediting carriers? Not to sound cruel but what do you think a "texas style sleeper" actually is? 2. Why don't more people do this?? See #1 answer 3. Does anyone know who or where I could get the "connection", or...
