Thanks guys - that rant had been building up for a while.

Obama is a creation of the liberal mainstream media. The three major TV networks and their cable subsidiaries along with the vast majority of the nation's major newspapers discovered a liberal young black senator at the 2004 Democrat Party Convention. He and his teleprompters gave a great...

I think this is probably closer to the truth, but on the part of the couple wanting to get married. They probably knew about this guy's attitudes beforehand, and went in there to make a political point and call attention to not only him, but especially themselves. This situation reminds me of...

:confused::confused::confused: Looks like the seeds of gossip to me.

I got my information from people who work for Tri State - not drivers-standing-around-at-the-truckstop-gossip, mind you, but employees of the company who are in a position to know what's going on. The purpose of my post was not to besmirch Tri State or imply they're circling the drain, but to...

As I said in an earlier post, cargo vans are only one tired-driver accident away from being subjected to the same HOS regulations as straight trucks. This mandate would have NOTHING to do with an infringement on individual freedoms - it's about public safety. Considering current requirements...

They are also a complete eyesore on the landscape of the Southwestern US. For those of us who have made the drive from El Paso to Nogales, one of the few pleasures of the trip is the sunset in that part of the country. Nowadays, this perfect vista at dusk is spoiled by what appears to be a line...

Here, here and amen!! The carriers that rely on bid boards for the majority of their loads are automatically placing themselves in the situation of offering their lowest price and getting the smallest profit margin with almost every shipment from these sources. Boards like NLM require extremely...

I know this has been pointed out before, but all it's going to take for some federal limitations on van hours to be put in place is for some c/v driver to fall asleep at the wheel on the last leg of a 1200 mile trip and kill some carload of kids on the way home from a school or church outing...

Assuming your hypothetical shipper is a small company (not INA, Timkin, etc.) and are not frequent expediters; also assuming that their shipping dept is calling three carriers for quotes, one of which is my small one or two horse expedite company; considering this move is to pick up on Friday...

Here's a good article from the Weekly Standard on some of the other nominees for this year's Nobel Peace Prize. The Weekly Standard

According to the Nobel website, the award to Obama was given "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." Other than traveling to a few locations around the globe for eight months apologizing for past American behaviour in flowery...

I don't see a problem here. For starters, this kid is NOT a member of the Palin family and never will be; he dated one of the Palin daughters for a while and got her pregnant. Secondly, after reading the article from this trashy website it's obvious this is a rumour that was probably planted by...

This is a more complex problem than Viet Nam - they didn't launch attacks on us on our own soil. The situation Barack Hussein Obama faces is very complex, and is compounded by the safe haven for the terrorists provided by Pakistan. It would be impossible to successfully impliment any sort of...

One can only imagine the resentment of the IOC members when confronted with the condescention of these uppity Chicago politicians who are nothing more than rookies on the international stage. George Will's comments were spot on, and the outpouring of adulation from our sycophantic American media...

Keep in mind that Tri State is a small, privately owned company that's not nearly as financially sound as Panther. It takes deep pockets to survive tough times like we're in now, and Panther is in a good position. Also, don't limit yourself to these two carriers - there are several others that...

IMHO this is a basic fact of life, but no one wants to admit it in this day and age. I would argue that it's the pride in their culture, or national pride. The Irish are proud to be Irish; our friends from south of the border are so proud to be Mexican that they refuse to assimilate into our...

Having never seen DWTS, I'm assuming its ratings are maintained by the same bored, unemployed housewives and welfare parasites that make up the audience for Oprah and The View. My first thought was "why would DeLay want to be on this ridiculous show"? There's probably a small percentage of them...

I still can't help but be amused by the manufactured liberal outrage and concern for disrespect for the office of the presidency. Where was this outrage when the clown from Iraq threw his shoes at Bush? What would happen if somebody from another country throws shoes at Obama? The democrats would...

How soon we forget about the insults and total lack of decorum displayed by the Democrats in this very Sanctum Sanctorum about which the mainstream media is so suddenly concerned. Though there were many displays of disrespect for the office of the Presidency during Bush's eight years in office...
