Your avatar is just fine. Don't be bullied by the politically correct. Leave it to them and we'll all be eunuchs.

Dreamer... sounds like we drive the same van. I love the diesel E350.

As I delivered a government load to Dover AFB a few weeks ago, a hearse was leaving the gates. I concluded another fallen soldier was coming home. It was Bush's policy to not allow any media coverage of the flag draped coffins being returned, lest it erode public support for the war...

Moral vs. immoral? I fear the amoral.

Das Kapital ! Picture America as the good ship Titantic. We struck the berg last September and have been taking on water ever since. I totally agree, unsustainable debt is our undoing. We're baling out water as fast as we can, but there seems to be an inevitability looming. What...

Chef... America is changing and there's no going back to the way things used to be. Our economic system is very unstable and our government is incompetent. I think we might be watching the slow motion collapse of an empire. I fear a more authoritarian style of government waits for us ahead...

This guy's permanent grin is starting to give me the creeps. Sort of like Liberace.

Grammar Nazi Alert!! See parenthetical phrase above. *L*

I used to listen to Alan Keyes radio show from time to time. Although, I think his heart is in the right place, Alan is a bit of a loose cannon. Intolerant of differing viewpoints and prone to calling people "stupid" when they disagree with him. For me, he's a screamer and a bully. Not what...

Some anonymous portly fella (typical expediter) told me about EO in a Flying J parking lot in Texas a few years ago. I had been with Panther several years and had never heard of EO. Now my universe of expediters from whom I can draw insight is greatly expanded. I learn something here...

For all the reasons Soxydon mentioned, going to Alaska in the dead of winter seems heavy on risks and short on rewards. Very little margin for error should something go wrong. I get bemused at armchair quarterbacks who don't actually drive the truck themselves, yet advocate such risk for...

Kentucky is a friendly state to gun ownership. Unless the state laws have changed recently, a citizen can still buy guns here at an open flea market without any registration or background check. Also, I think sales between private individuals are permitted as well. However, if you wish to...

Absolutely, take that load to Florida. That's a decent rate for vans.

Here in my home town, just outside Lexington, it is not uncommon to see men openly carrying a handgun in a holster on their belt. I have seen two individuals doing just that in my local WalMart within the past month. Pretty sure they weren't off duty cops. Just regular folks.

At $65, the suicide squeeze is on.

Most likely, the OP is an immigrant or grew up in a non-English speaking household. English is tough to master as a second language. English can be tough to master as a first language as well. This hardly makes anyone an animal. First and foremost, the OP is in a difficult spot...

Nestor7... the real culprit seems to be that the well-employed aren't spending. Who can blame them? Uncertainty triggers self preservation.

That is tough luck for sure. Unfortunatey, this anecdotal story is probably being played out in multiple locales right now.

Turtle... would you give the same speech in both places? And with equal enthusiasm?

We don't need no stinkin' criminal charges... but, a good trumped-up salacious rumor might do. Can someone Photo-shop a picture of Obama and Boy George in a compromising pose?
