    NON-SMOKERS, for your consideration...,

    Sorry - I'm not the one creating polls on the subject, and you've obviously missed the point of that one small post. (1)If you read it again, notice I started by suggesting the use of COMMON SENSE AND GOOD JUDGEMENT; this should apply to those that smoke and those that don't. I have no...

    NON-SMOKERS, for your consideration...,

    I think the whole issue boils down to good judgement and common sense. Reminds me of an old quote supposedly from Steve Martin. He was sitting at a dinner table with a guest that asked "Do you mind if I smoke?" Martin replied "Of course not - do you mind if I fart?"

    Well Whats China Hiding??

    Remember this quote from the prophet Joe Biden? “Mark my words, it will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it...

    Nations Express........

    I guess that anticipates my next question - is anyone else doing that well out of Nebraska (or anywhere else for that matter)? I'm just skeptical when I don't hear anyone else talking about being this busy - especially solo in a cargo van - and at the same time endorsing a particular carrier.

    Nations Express........

    I'm glad for anyone who is busy right now, but unfortunately the driver doesn't generate the loads - it's the Nations agent in this case. If the Nations franchise in NE has some good customers that are expediting right now, it sounds like a perfect match that they have a driver like this who...

    The Stimulus Illustrated

    Here's some more cut and paste shinola from the CBO. With all the talk about a few billion here and a trillion or two there, it's easy to lose the perspective of how much Obama and the Democrat led congress is actually going to spend in 2009 compared to deficits from prior years. You can also...

    Another Step to Weaken Our National Defenses

    I've posted the link of Obama's campaign speech to the liberal group Caucus 4 Priorities several times because I believe that as he spells out this brief shopping list of things he intends to accomplish, the true radically liberal novice politician is on full display. I also believe these goals...

    Another Step to Weaken Our National Defenses

    Remember his campaign speech to the group called Caucus for Priorities? Some people thought it was just campaign rhetoric, but he's serious about this stuff. Take the 90 seconds to watch this again - personally, I think these are promises he fully intends to keep. Notice that toward the end he...

    Sooo ... Who is in charge of the RNC

    Remember the old Jim Croce lyric "You don't tug on Superman's cape?" Up until now I thought Michael Steele was a sharp guy and would make a good leader for the RNC. He has proven himself to be otherwise by trashing the voice of conservative Republicans just to appease a few inside-the-beltway...

    Pro Abortionist Named by Barry to Health Sec.

    That has always been the problem with the Pro-Life vs. Pro-Choice argument - they are each preaching to their respective choirs. No matter how many protests, bra-burnings, abortion clinic bombings, etc. most people have formed their opinion on this issue as a result of their core principles and...

    Obama as Hitler

    Yes, this legislation WAS intended to do that. Suppose, in the event of an apparent stillborn baby - regardless of the stage of development, the doctors are required to make efforts to resuscitate it. What's so unreasonable about that? It's not like the umbilical cord remains connected...

    Pro Abortionist Named by Barry to Health Sec.

    This comes as no surprise, so all the Right-to-Lifers may as well get used to it. Obama has always been unapoligetically Pro-Choice, and now that he has been elected this agenda will receive the benefits of Democrat congressional and presidential control for at least the next two, possibly four...

    Obama as Hitler

    Of course the article is opinion, but that's what this discussion is all about. Two things in the article jumped out at me: (1) Obama was the ONLY senator to oppose the bill (2) Obama based his claim on the argument that "the bill attempted to redefine a fetus...". To the contrary, I and a lot...

    Obama as Hitler

    If Barack Hussein Obama has displayed Hitleresque tendencies, it would have more likely been his opposition to the Born Alive Infant Protection Act that started when he was an IL state senator. Although it was hardly mentioned by the Republicans during the campaign, some of us should remember...

    TriState & Caterpillar

    Beginning March 1, or shortly thereafter, you will see most of CAT's business start going to FedEXCC. There is a new agreement in place, and CAT wants to go to a single source to handle expedites instead of using a list of approved carriers. Since business is down, FedEx has a fleet large enough...

    USMC strikes gold

    Do send our thanks and encouragement to your son. His comments bring back memories, like bayonet training - 40 years ago it used to consist of learning how to properly thrust the bayonet into a dummy made of shredded tires and then kick it off. This was supposed to replicate the thing getting...

    Sanitize the War?

    Since the announcement of this change in policy, I've been wondering how it will actually be enforced. Take the 2d picture from the top for example: there are sixteen anonymous caskets visible. If family X's son is the middle casket in the second row, do they have veto rights for the publication...

    Stimulus For The Unions

    Here's a good example of the many items that are buried in the stimulus bill that no one in congress read before they voted for it. This was a feature that was obviously known to a few, but it sure wasn't mentioned in the press or on national news - from an article dated 29Jan09 by James Sherk...

    Bailout Bank Blows Millions Partying in LA

    It's not unheard of for companies to cancel sponsorships: "The PGA Tour Inc. has filed suit against Ginn Development Company LLC for breaching a multi-year tournament sponsorship contract. The suit, filed Jan. 30 in Flagler County, alleges that after agreeing to serve as tournament organizer...
