Unless I misread it, Moot was quotong & questioning Chuckwagon about the CDL A first, then the B - which was the same thing I was wondering: unless the A expired, why would you then get a B license?

If the issue was not that he had sex on "our time", (which in the case of the President, is 24/7/365), but that he lied under oath, why was he under oath to begin with?

How bout "Chipmunks Roasting On An Open Fire"? (With sound effects!)

Don't spose anyone would sign on my dream truck either: a nice RV, towing a cargo van :+

Greg, have you ever been a union employee? Because I have, and I was held accountable for achieving specific standards, (even when the substandard materiels that fit "on paper" didn't in reality), and if I failed to achieve, the union couldn't save my job - I saw quite a few people fired during...

Exactly - you don't get the level of service that was provided by the smaller company that went out of business when the big place took over, but accept that as a tradeoff for the low price. After you've accepted less service as a norm, then the price creeps up. Brilliant, aint it? Other than...

Excellent point, Professor! Think it's time to drop the last line of your sigline, the part about "still nose nuthin"? Because you clearly know a thing or two...;)

The biggest drawback to such harsh punishment, is the difficulty that arises when the guilty party is later proven to have been innocent, which happens with alarming frequency, even here in America - I'd bet it happens a LOT more in countries that aren't so mindful of civil rights. Even so, if...

I still don't see where any of that makes any difference - a public official's private life should remain private - until it impacts his public duties. If the President were in the habit of picking his nose while working, or sending text msgs to a love interest, do we really have the right to...

That's true, but I wonder how many companies find the tradeoff acceptable. Low price, and the concomitant low level of service, sure hasn't hurt WalMart any - especially as they can raise the price - after they've driven the competition out of business...

I agree about the IRS x( As Leo said, those who are courteous towards others are overshadowed by those who are not. If the government could mandate & enforce common courtesy & common sense, they'd be the only 2 laws needed.

I always respected Gerald Ford, too - he seemed to be a nice man, who really wanted to do the best he could for every American. He didn't give the impression of being hungry for power or glory, and I wish there were more like him. Highway Star: many US presidents before Clinton were known to...

Good point, Rich - so how come we don't castrate convicted rapists? Particularly the serial variety - talk about "poster boys"!

As bad as Saddam was, I still say there is an inherent flaw in the logic of demonstrating the evil of killing people, by killing the guilty party.

Broom, I read that the biggest reason the insurance companies had for the skyrocketing rates is one they don't want to talk about: their bad investments, that cost them a bundle. Which came on top of a bidding war, where they were writing malpractice insurance policies at bargain rates, just to...

I suspect THawk's wife is correct - as always, lol. And as for the gibberish posted by Harddrive & Dreamer: may I remind you that this is America - we speak English here! (Unless it's really funny, like the German in Lawrence's sigline):+ :P ;)

Wow - congratulations, to you & Mrs BigBus, and the future BabyBus! And please tell Mrs BigBus that now that you're married to her, I no longer think you're the idiot I said you were when she was your fiancee, lol, and I look forward to reading more of The Adventures of BigBusBob. Smile!
