Ouch Dougie.... your words wound me. This scenario is like dumb and dumber. Those voting for Obama are the latter. Maybe Sarah Palin will cruise to victory in 2012. Put that in your pipe and smoke it! *L*

Hey... I'm a knuckle draggin' (Knuckle Dragon) thick-browed vanner. All grunts and gestures. Don't get polysyllabic with me. *L*

Deliberate ambiguity serves their purposes.

Fox News is now reporting the Somali lifeboat holding American Captain Richard Phillips is only 20-30 miles from the Somali shore and drifting toward shore. If allowed to continue drifting, it is expected to make land in 18-24 hours. Obama needs to get off the phone with Oprah and act...

Re: Pirates HOW TO HANDLE THEM! If we dropped Barney Frank on a Somali ship, it would have the same effect as a 500 LB concrete bunker buster. It would also be the first time he was useful.

We had a young woman get killed here, locally, about a year ago when a deer came through her windshield. The deer continue to be a problem.

Re: Pirates HOW TO HANDLE THEM! I'm thinking the Somalis are about to have big regrets.

Over the years, I have accidently hit the following animals with my car/truck: dogs, cats, deer, snakes, frogs, turtles, fox, opossum, birds, chickens (sorry Dad), rabbits, skunks, bats, squirrels, lizards, raccoons. Add to that, I have slain maybe 100,000 bugs which met their doom on my...

OVM... are you trying to get me riled up on Easter morning? Sure, the GOP has been kicked in the groin (thanks George W. Bush) but it's still plenty relevant. There is no march into madness. We're planning a peaceful coup d'etat at the ballot box. I call Obama the "accidental president."...

I read a front-page story, yesterday, in the Lexington Herald newspaper about a criminal ring arrested for trafficking in the sale of wild animals. Seems these guys were buying and selling coyotes and foxes. They were being sold to private individuals and hunting clubs so their hounds could...

As a resident of Kentucky, I pass their scales hundreds of times per year. Better I should say I bypass their scales. Never been an issue for me. I would have been busted by now if enforcement existed.

You will get different interpretations on this subject from knowledgable people. I have spent the last eight years driving an expediting cargo van, seven of those years my van was emblazoned with the roaring, two headed cat. I have never crossed a scale or entered a weigh station in a van...

That's why I hold out a sliver of hope Obama will surprise us all by showing strength and resolve. I gotta believe the military advisors are being blunt with him. Who knows, he just might take a firm stand.

If it will help Obama grow a spine, give him double dosages around the clock.

By bringing the US Navy ship to the scene, Obama has put our national prestige on the line. I think he might surprise us with some uncharacteristic toughness. Even though this is on a small scale, it is Obama's first test in an emerging crisis abroad. Once he has made a show of force, the...

" Don't tax you. Don't tax me. Tax that man behind the tree." (author unknown)

This hostage-taking has to stop. Being blackmailed because others have been taken is not the way to go. Personally, I want to see black smoke billowing from the sinking hull of several pirate ships. Deal-making, appeasement and paying tribute money just doesn't work. These thugs have a...

mhwhite... The van niche is saturated but provides a very practical function. I just drove nearly 2000 paid miles in 48 hours as a solo. Can't do that in a truck which requires logging. The vans offer maximum freedom and minimum hassle. Yeah, it generates less revenue... but that's a...

What a tragedy it would be to waste 300 tons of coal to fashion Obama's likeness. Of course, as soon as Mother Nature delivered a wildfire or lightning to the coal monument, it would turn to ash. BTW, the joke was harmless.

Right now, it doesn't look good for the US hostage. Chances are, he will not survive this ordeal. We can't really make a deal with these pirates as it only encourages more hostage taking. Yes, the hostage might die. But, the pirates must die. Right there in the water. Maybe give 'em the...
