Well, you said it right there... "In the days before deregulation..." Now that everyone and their brother can get their authority, I don't see that working anymore.

Mike... you tell your mom she could make $42k; but did you also tell her she could make $24k? Sometimes, especially nowadays, it's better to grin and bear it. In these times, a factory job is like winning the lottery.

I approached the big guy at my last carrier to see if running double authority (his and mine) was ok with him. He said why waste the money on double insurance? Just go it alone.

That's ok. If we didn't breathe air, California would just find something else to control. I think it's in their genes. :confused:

Willam Dafoe, William H. Macy, and Christopher Walken are three that weren't mentioned, but are excellent character actors. Don't forget Robin Williams. He's certainly graduated from Mork.

We left Amarillo on Sunday - made it 120 miles, to exit 8 in OK. Yesterday, made it 12 miles before saying screw this, and stopped in Sayre. I-35 was closed south of OK City. No reason to risk anything for being empty... or loaded, for that matter. Today, the roads were clear in OK, and we're...

I love Rangle's idea of funneling the money to the poor neighborhoods, without the governors having a say. Yep... stuff the pockets of the inner-city power brokers. And because the middle class is too busy worrying about their own financial crisis, they won't pay attention to what we're doing...

Regardless if they were official or not, Obama made a choice. Needless to say, Clinton made a choice too... the morally correct one. Obama's gonna be a great one for breaking tradition. No surprise there.

Likewise, lessons learned in politics of the past, are pretty much ignored in the present. And laws made in the past, apparently don't apply to politicians of today.

Thanx for the news, OVM. I always thought it was a good strategy taking the fight to AQI. It drew them out in the open, and kept them away from us. Good strategy, W!

Hate to tell you, but Lenin's dead. ;):D

Truckrnnr Express would.

I agree. But we like to watch movies, watch sports, listen to music, etc. The firefighters, paramedics, cops, etc., ARE more important. But many more ppl can learn and do that job; and that's where supply and demand comes in. Can't say I agree with it, but that's what a free market is.

Why do Hollywood stars make so much? The big ones get their 20mil+ per film, whether it's a hit or bust. Frivolous lawsuit reform and caps on jury awards is what's needed, regardless of who's pushing for it. The American Dream is what is earned by the citizen, not handed to them by everyone...

I'm not saying that conservatives should do that, Moot. It was a question to liberals. If they can distort the truth, call the president dumb, totally trash a bright young woman who had more executive experience than Obama and Biden put together, ignore their candidate's pitfalls, and so on; why...

I won't go as far as what Pilgrim stated... what's good for the goose, etc. I will attack Obama for what Obama does... nothing more, nothing less. Pilgrim is 100% right on the fact that the media did EVERYTHING in their power to tear Bush down, and turn the viewing public against him... same...

It NEVER ended with Bush... the blame or the spin or the name calling. Why should we give respect to those who didn't give us any for 8 yrs? Please answer me that.

So, you're admitting he bought your vote too? I wish him well, but his policies can go you-know-where.

Even Mark Levin said it wasn't Obama's fault. He paused when the Chief Justice misspoke, probably because Obama had the oath memorized, and it wasn't right. Don't worry, folks. He'll have plenty of other chances to screw things up.

Good luck to YOU, Truckrnnr!!!
