    Birthday! Commercial Radio's 90th Birthday

    They got their commercial license in October but WWJ was operating for two months under their license (August of 1920). AND before all of that, XWA of Montreal was licensed in May of 1920. BUT the real honor seems to go to Doc Herrold who from 1912 to 1917 did regular shows as a broadcaster...

    Is France actually gearing up for a fight ?

    NO not at all. Here's why. The French have a different government, starting with their history, their take over by foreign born people and the fact that they have had no less than 7 forms of government since our founding. They allow less checks and balances within their bloated system of...

    Colbert and the tea party

    I think there is more of an issue with intellegence and it seems that some, not all of the tea party people actually know more about the government than many in the media. It was John Kerry who just said recently “We have an electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention to what’s...

    John, why cross dock the freight, don't you have enough willing to go to Canada? How about regular cross border work for someone with a box van or a small straight?

    Is France actually gearing up for a fight ?

    OK watched the segment, and wonder what you guys are getting all up in arms about. For some reason that's france's problem, not ours. They are pretty much their own enemy when it comes to the "islamanation of paris" See many of you get all bent out of shape of this crap, which it is...

    Hello everyone! New here but not a newbie

    Well I am assuming you are from the great white north which is a lot different than here. With that said, we are contractors for a very good reason - the companies can't operate with employees. The other issue that keeps popping up seem to be an issue with accountability of the contractor in...

    Rates and Deadhead pay.

    Well the thing I am getting at is the same thing about Qualcomm, there is always a cost of doing business. BUT with DH pay if you get it ... great ... but it is not the end of the world. Many of us operate - profitably - without DH pay, and in doing so puts us closer to the reality of being...

    Satellite communications

    I just chalk it up as part of doing business and can't do much about it. People seem to worry about the pennies and don't get the fact that this is the way it is and nothing can be done about it other than leave. Many don't seem to complain about the Comdata/Tcheck fees as much or Insurance...

    The Truth-O-Meter Says:

    Well I was told that my comments were wrong, I should be saying that the rate is obscene but closing the deductions are wrong.

    The Truth-O-Meter Says:

    Not really, what was obscene is the 91% tax bracket in 1954. Even with that high rate, there were deductions that were allowed that were closed under Reagan in I think '86, like Credit Card interest deductions. The 1965 to '81 70% still allowed a lot of deductions, which lowered the effective...

    We Bail Em' Out....

    True. But you brought it up. I hope you are still successful with it. No not implying anything, I would like you to learn how it works with an objective view point. See there is an issue with our modern world, too much information from all kinds of sources is dangerous and opens people up to...
