Border Patrol agents, Ramos and Compean, were released from prison today. President Bush had commuted their sentences in the waning hours of his administration. Congressman Ted Poe (R-TX) says he will petition Predident Obama to grant a full pardon to the two men.

Harry Truman would be my favorite Democrat president. Plain spoken and pro-military. He was a conservative Democrat in a time when that was allowed by the party. During the 70's, 80's and 90's, the Democrat Party purged itself of conservatives. In today's political climate, I suspect ol'...

Guido... my Ford E350 is an extended van with 126" inches of linear space from back door to bulkhead. Cargo capacity of 2600 LBS. Averages 18mpg empty and loaded. 7.3L diesel. My two Ford diesel vans have combined mileage over one million miles with few repairs needed. A good used one...

Our government makes me so spittin' mad. By my thinking, the US government should have just enough money left to arrange a nice one-way riverboat cruise for themselves. I will gladly play the role of their captain, Charon, boatman on the River Styx. Deliver their sorry souls across that...

OK, these are funny. A little too close to home. As a bona fide Appalachian, they make me squirm. But very funny.

Spam may become a delicacy in the not too distant future. The wedding reception was just a ruse.

DaveKC... if carriers go to psychological testing for expediters, we have found the panacea to thin the herd. I am hoping to get grandfathered in.

Of course, he's reptilian.

Turtle, you sly amphibian, that would be "alluded to" ... I'm sure you set this trap for the grammar nazis. Ain't no biggie.

.. another War of Northern Aggression? Haven't they heard the first one remains unsettled?

OVM... which status quo would you advocate? The Antebellum status quo? Or the 1950's? Or the 1980's? The "status quo" isn't static for very long. It changes over time. The zeitgeist of the moment is all about Obama. That will pass too. America belongs to the American people. It does...

What I know for sure wouldn't fill a thimble. *L*

I think the government is already the nation's largest employer. When taken altogether to include federal employees, state, city and county government employees. I don't have the figures, but suspect the number of folks working directly for government plus the number receiving public...

Hedonism has a large following. It's the easy choice.

I have an uneasy feeling our nation is 4 to 6 months away from very real social unrest. These band-aid solutions from Bush and now Obama only buy a little more time. At some juncture, China will stop funding our debt and call in their markers. Then what? Also, the oil speculators of 2005...

IRT... Just keep on doing your own thing. When you post an opinion, 50% may immediately agree or disagree. It's human nature. What matters is a large percentage get your point. You always make me think. BTW, your admonition about maintaing good physical health is right on target...

Beautiful landscapes and scenery. Hunting and fishing in the American West. A love triangle (or quadrangle) underscores the entire plot. Life interrupted by war. War interrupted by life. Most interesting to me was the fanatical bond of family loyalty portrayed by patriarch Anthony Hopkins...

I bought the DVD thinking I would watch it again. Ten minutes into the second viewing, I had to stop. It's an emotional nuclear bomb. Just couldn't take what was coming.

Hockey sticks to Boston. 500 plastic buckets (Red Cross supplies) to Lady Lake,Florida after a hurricane. 4 tires to a Toyota test track in Arizona desert. Last week, a one pound envelope of newspaper inserts to Wisconsin. Never know what's next. That's part of the fun.

jaminjim... it bothers me as well. I fear a lynch mob mentality runs amok here sometimes. Old feuds and vendettas play out. Whenever I point out what seems to be excessive piling-on of an EO member, they turn the heat towards me. Oh well. I learned alot from Greg and Leo about the technical...
