    A trip to the gallows

    Well Andy, I guess you missed the point that the company i keep seems to be a lot different from Leo's. Maybe you missed that or maybe you are lumping me in with the others unjustly. I think I have a broader perspective on things than most, seeing my crowd isn't the reactionary type. Leo may...

    And it Starts Again!!

    There is a bank regulation that is being ignored, it states that no loan can be financed at 125% of the initial value of the loan due to the speculative nature of the loan.

    More Change you can believe in......

    OK I agree no one is 'stuck' but what if you can't afford private coverage or what about 20 years ago? Does the Canadian system allow bartering between the doctor, hospital and patient like our system? See OVM the point is not Canadian system is bad, it is limiting because of the cost...

    More Change you can believe in......

    After spending a few hours with Iraqis who are returning to their homeland, I am starting to think that they have more freedoms than we are going to have in the near future. It surely seems they are starting to feel sorry for us and one thing is sure of what I read today is that Obama is not...

    MN Senate election debacle

    Didn't anyone think that the entire sham was an indication of what has been happening within the federal election system and maybe, just maybe we need to start screaming about the motor voter act and it's repeal? How can Somali nationals get to vote in a senatorial election when they don't...

    Shades of Things to Come?

    Sweden some time ago had a big tax revolt seeing that their taxes reached over 80% for the average swede. Their entire system of finance is different from ours and in no way should we be comparing notes with them outside of how we can open more IKEA like stores because that is the only success...

    Haz-mat regulations

    This is really interesting. I won't write all of this but here is the short story. I am responsible for that shipment on the road. If I have an accident and my paper work is sloppy, than I will end up with the problems, not the shipper, not the carrier. Even though the shipper will get p*ssed...

    cargoMAXX

    Opps, sorry Jack, yes it is. I looked at it a few times but wonder what the weight of the top is compared to an Aerocell. It looked top heavy to me but again I only took 30 pictures of the thing.

    Ford Transit Connect

    Yea that's simple, go to the dealer and ask for one. they can pull it up on their parts computer or the service manager and get it for you with the service system, they can then print it off for you. As for Ford not lik'n the diesel, well that's not true. They will market the thing if it...

    A trip to the gallows

    Andy, The Clinton dynasty is closer to the royal family than the Bushs. You should look at the money they arranged for bill to make after he left office on those speaking tours. Look at the list of foreign organizations that he spoke to and see which ones are related to the royal family of...

    Ford Transit Connect

    Driving three of them, including one of the hybrid super secret test vehicles, they are too small to be anything except an overrated caravan. The full size Transit, which is larger than the larger sprinter we have here can make a difference IF they market it right. Seeing that...

    Today's the day - Big trucks can now do 65 mph in Ohio on interstates

    Ah no, the turnpike has always been 65 or has been for the last 4 years. They are replacing some of the signs but not all places are going to be equal speeds or at least that is what I was told today by the cop who pulled me over for doing 65 in a 55, ****hint follow what the signs say. I can...

    Today's the day - Big trucks can now do 65 mph in Ohio on interstates

    Actually, it all depends on how the truck is geared and the engine not just the wind resistance. Once it reaches a certain threshold the wind effects the mileage more than the engine's efficiency. For example; My truck gets better mileage at 61-63 than it ever does at 55-56. I know of a like...

    Mypie, The comment was about the callousness of the first sentence, nothing else. I thought is was unprofessional. I won't go into the decorum/professionalism thing, its not worth the effort here anymore.

    150 Years in Prison

    I should have specified what they said. It is not restitution over the loss of their initial investment which they deserve but they want all the money that they told was "created" through the "investments" that were made on their behalf. Some produced records of amazing gains and expect that...

    150 Years in Prison

    I heard some of the "victims" and I feel sorry for those who have been rooked with some of their savings but there were so many who were just plain greedy and knew the risks but now are the ones forcing to get part of the hidden treasure.

    Cap & Trade

    Well there is a question of how do we force other countries to comply with our laws and how do we protect our workforce from the use of cheap labor - the answer is we can't. If we try to force the hand of India, who actually is a very dirty country, we will have a backlash through the...

    Michael Jackson and Farrah died today

    You're too funny doug...... There is a difference between the street singer (like dabluzman) and a professional groomed entertainer. The former is needed, they are the ones who actually struggle and take things seriously. Like Baseball, there are better people out there in the world that can...
