just cast my absentee ballot for McCain-Palin. It felt particularly nice to support Palin. If the race tightens in the last two weeks I expect McCain will pull slightly ahead. Don't trust pollsters much. Don't trust poll workers on election night. Surely don't trust the media. Absolutely...

At this point in time, I don't trust anyone wearing a suit and tie. My barber has a better grasp of sound economic principles than does many on Wall Street or in Congress. I wouldn't be too surprised to see an increase in crime, civil disobedience, anything just short of a general uprising...

Several months ago I suggested America was going into uncharted waters with risky government schemes and unscrupulous corporate shenanigans. We can't afford a trillion dollar war and a trillion dollar bailout for Wall Street and a bailout for the Big 3 automakers and endless other bailouts...

Good post. I fear this exercise in democracy is just about over. Social upheaval can't be far away.

In my opinion, Sarah Palin is a Barbie Doll with brains. It just doesn't get any better than that. Conservatives are rallying to the cause and I think Democrats are beginning to feel this election slip away from them. Hence, all the mean spirited attacks against Palin will only strengthen our...

Proud hillbilly here by way of central Appalachia, heart of the coalfields in eastern Kentucky.

My first trip into Detroit reminded me of Dante's Inferno. Visions of Hell. Now, several years later, my opinion remains unchanged.

Why should Sarah Palin give the media any consideration at all? They are a despicable lot aren't they? The Democrats and their accomplices in the press fear and hate Sarah Palin for many reasons. The fact she is a believing Christian really riles them up. Palin doesn't need or want the...

I switched over to straight truck driving last week and need some pointers on logging HOS. Having driven an expediter van for several years, logging was not a concern. Now it is. I never signed on with a T/T company so I have never had a trainer who would cover this topic. Is there a web...

I've spent 15 years operating a commercial cargo van in all 48 states and Canada. Over a million miles of interstate driving and never crossed a scale or kept a log. It simply isn't an issue unless mandatory HOS comes into law. I can understand how a nervous rookie might think he/she needs to...

"anthropromorphism" is the giving of human attributes to animals.

Omigosh!!! McCain has hit a grand slam with Sarah Palin of Alaska. Smart, attractive, poised, and a pure natural at campaigning. Her conservative bona fides are above reproach. She may very well be the face of conservatism's future. I am ready to open my checkbook for McCain now. (BTW, she...

You decide: 1) much sound and fury signifying nothing. 2) thou does protest too much. 3) all hat and no cattle. 4) the Second Coming 5) nice choreography 6) would make Josef Goebbels proud...

I can't help but wonder if Marfan's syndrome plays into this nonsense.

Dick Cheney for President!!!

Upon further reflection... I think commenting on Chelsea Clinton's obvious physical defects and appearance would be in poor taste. I refuse to call her "ugly as a mud fence" or the hideous outcome of poor breeding. I refuse to do it. Let's leave Chelsea alone. It's not her fault.

Amy Carter was at least wholesome... Chelsea Clinton in some-whole..sum hole...some ho... something.

Speaking of missing, Where's our friend Turtle?

Gridlock is widespread. I understand your pain.

Politics is interwoven in every aspect of our lives. There is no escape from the reach of government. We don't even earn paychecks for ourselves since income tax was imposed on Americans in the early 1900's. The government gets first dibs on our labor and has the audacity to tell us how much...
