    The Fat Lady is warming up to sing....

    The Fat Lady is warming up to sing....

    Willard's Rats have just about secured the GOP nomination. Willard "Mitt" Romney has warmed the hearts of GOP Establishment types and is becoming the presumptive nominee. My disappointment with the conservative movement cannot be overstated. Obama does not deserve a second term as president...

    Snake Man of Appalachia

    Animal Planet produces this show for cable television. It's called "Snake Man of Appalachia." Unfortunately, it plays up a lot of stereotypes, but is authentic in its portrayal of family life for many folks in central Appalachia. The show's family lives in Letcher County, Kentucky and is...

    Any wonder?

    City dudes??? I grew up playing basketball on a dirt court. The rims had metal chain nets. Remember those? I can understand shooting snakes. All snakes. Snakes must die on sight. My favorite scene from Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" was the snake-stomping scene. Yeah, I get...

    Any wonder?

    Better to shoot hoops than a helpless duck or other waterfowl. The birds you shoot are unarmed, right?

    "Take it away from us, Jesus"

    Not to downplay the trauma of tornado victims, but I found the praying woman in the first video to be interesting as her prayer was interspersed with speaking in tongues. It is a common practice among some fundamentalist sects in Appalachia and the rural South. I have never heard anyone...

    Opps.....

    Safety of the Volt isn't much of a concern. Volts are likely to have a safety record equal to most other cars. Spontaneous combustion in a crash can happen with any vehicle. Is the Volt subject to catch fire parked in your garage overnight simply as a risk of being electrically charged? Or...

    Opps.....

    The Volt is too impractical for widespread use. It has severely limited range and cold weather presents real problems for battery-powered cars. Someone needs to tell Obama that fossil fuels are the future. Irony?

    Leased on with multiple carriers

    OVM... volume will improve if and when the economy improves. Worrying about the little guy posted on Sylectus is wasted energy. The little guy running for multiple carriers has every right to do so if legally compliant. Competition is good. Having worked under contract with large and small...

    Years in the business

    Sorry to hear your father and uncle passed away at an early age. Are you saying they drove over 5 million miles each? Something doesn't compute.

    Cargo Van pulled for DOT inspection.

    Just watching the sky go by??? I'm thinking the sky doesn't move. Perhaps you're observing weather phenomena such as clouds. Bring this topic downstairs to The Soapbox where metaphysical conundrums are given their due respect.
