The Law of Diminishing Returns is having its day. I wonder if we'll see a corresponding rate cut for QC's, insurance, escrow demands, etc? Or are owner/ops gonna carry this load alone?

Fastrod has captured the very essence of this problem.

Obama's not going to tick off the twentysomethings. They are his core constituency. Besides, how would Obama enforce compulsory service? Many, if not most, youngsters would simply refuse to go.

Of course I voted. Several times.

Great post, Pilgrim. My 21 year old son just enlisted in the US Marine Corps. Today's self indulgent youth could benefit from military service. But alas, many will not heed the call.

SBB, I feel your pain. The next shipper to want his freight moved cheaply should be met by a motorcycle with a sidecar.

How low can they go?

Governments, including ours, rule by intimidation at the point of a gun barrel and the threat of incarceration. We have little recourse but to comply.

Guys have you been watching elections for the past twenty years? He who throws the most mud wins. McCain tried to play nice. Nice guys finish last. He was a tired old man who desperately did not want his own personal life scrutinized. So, he gave Obama the kid glove treatment and lost...

Such snubbery.

Turtle, thank you for posting the election results map of our beloved Kentucky. Our state has 120 counties and Obama managed to carry 8 of them. We have much work to do in those 8 counties. This creeping incrementalism by the Democrats must be STOPPED! Not that I'm too concerned about...

Right on, Rabbit. The cult of personality has enveloped Obama and his followers are "in Love" with him and "will do anything for him." It's a form of worship. Scary stuff.

OK, Dodgeboy... first I can assure you the inauguration can be ignored. Secondly, your tone and tenor betray your lefty leanings. Come into the light and confess. Your giddiness with Obama is understandable.

Well, I kept my word and boycotted the inauguration. Watched the Weather Channel mostly. Suffered through re-runs of Buckwheat and the Little Rascals on the Cartoon Channel as I was surfing. Or was...

Turtle... getting into law school is a testimony to persistence. Not much brains required. I speak from personal experience. Obama does not impress here. He's our first affirmative action president.

No, I can't agree. Obama has the support of the media and Democrats. Slightly more than 50%. It only goes down from there. I don't subscribe to his agenda, so I can't hope he is successful in implementation of programs that are wrong or dangerous to the fabric of our society. I pray...

Yes, we've had some rough years with Bush. But it can and probably will get worse. Leftist policies don't work. There are no examples of such policies working anywhere. Bush followed by Obama is like a toothache followed by a train collision. Bush failed because he had leftist tendencies...

January 20th, 2009. A day that will live in infamy. Our ship of state has made a sharp left turn. A rough 4 years lay ahead.

I am a student of Mootology and trying to break the code. Sometimes, I feel on the verge of a breakthrough only to be reduced to tears. I gather my composure and push on. It is a rewarding pursuit.

I prefer a Shrub to having B.O.
