"The weak take from the government" A truly conservative sentiment. And one with an ironic bent - When the lion's share of money went In the pockets of those who "represent"

Hey - some of my best friends are Michiganders (and Michigeese, too)! :D Sexist, because I think cheerleading isn't an intellectual pursuit? Not guilty - it's the same for either gender. And I haven't 'singled you out', either - I replied to your post because it's not on the Soapbox, which seems...

Couldn't agree more: illegal residents are a drain on our resources that we simply cannot afford. I hope that is an issue that the new President will make some progress on, because it's way overdue.

I don't think Bush is dumb because of the media portrayals, I think he's dumb because: He got into Yale on his family connections, not his own merit. Once there, he was a cheerleader - not the choice of a man of intellect, IMO. He took advantage of those connections to skate on his...

Hey - I answered the question first, didn't I, before hijacking your thread? :D Personally, I prefer the term hotshot to expediting, it being more self explanatory, but I can see where corporate decision makers might prefer expediting - it just sounds more businesslike. (I didn't have anything...

I'm truly sorry to hear it, ERW. We need all the good guys we can get around here... But please remember that life is full of surprises, and some are really good ones, ya know? Hope it gets better very soon. :)

I think it's 'don't quit your lifestyle' ;) But I am liking all of them, keep it up, guys. PS that's the generic, all inclusive 'guys', ok? :D

Flattop points out something that the Obama haters just can't seem to acknowledge: he IS different from the men who have occupied the Oval Office for many years, and different in a good way. He didn't chase the big bucks after graduating from Harvard Law School, but taught Constitutional Law...

Spot on, Pjjjjj! In a nutshell, it's just one more tool that comes in handy when needed.

His message to the Wall Street fatcats gave me hope. As did the message to the bankers lining up for taxpayer money. Has any President in recent memory had the guts to tell them that their greed is shameful? Nope, they were too worried about their own future campaign donations to speak the...

Oh, there's plenty of worse jobs, but that wasn't one of them - the morgue was the place where all the unsaleable merchandise (in a warehouse that sold to drug & variety stores) was kept until credit was issued for it. At which point the sales reps would instruct me to ship the stuff back to...

Well, TC, I've got time, sigh. (Turned down a 400 mile 'van' load - let a van have it, maybe they could make a profit on it, but I can't.) Hot shots are generally used to mean emergency runs that can be done in a less structured environment, ie: with a pickup truck. I did some in my personal...

The all time best ever typo was one that actually caused me to change my diet for the better, lol: Broompilot was apparently trying to combine the two common spellings of doughnut, and ended up with 'dognuts'. :eek: I don't believe I'll ever be able to eat one again.:D

The way rates are going, that could be sooner than you think! Every load I've accepted this week has been underbid by someone else....:mad: PS Advertising can serve a very useful purpose: informing. But too much of it is just SHOUTING for attention, and that's what I find offensive, when it...

Oooh, I bet he could too - and we need to keep him far too busy to even get started on that, ok? ;) Great laughs, Juju, thanks for posting it. :D

Uh huh - Layoutshooter mentioned it, (post #9) and I can't remember if I've seen it or not - what's it about? :confused:

I use mostly Firefox, sometimes IE. I noticed an improvement after downloading an Ad blocking program, though. PS Sorry, Lawrence - I know that ads drive your business, but they drive me nuts!

I know the advice to skip a member's posts if you don't tend to agree with their style (or whatever) is often given, but that's not what I said. I meant to judge folks on more than just one or two posts, because we all have our 'off' days, or bad moods, or something, but it's the overall body of...

If the avatar wasn't clear enough, the admission that the Chef WANTS the President to fail is proof enough for me that America is too good for (and to) people like this.

Mikeangel: I can completely understand where you're coming from, but if you will read enough of the Col's posts, you'll be able to see beyond the crusty curmudgeon typing, and realize that he does try to help folks from getting in over their heads, in his own inimitable way.:rolleyes: I don't...
