The New Iberia Big Bang is messing with your head. In a normal state of rest, I am certain you would have chosen to use "verses" not versus. Saw a brief mention of the New Iberia story on The Weather Channel this morning. Hopefully, all is well. Cheat death and leave the Grim Reaper cussin'.

I don't understand those who speak of the US facing a double-dip recession. We never really came out of the awful recession that began in 2008 and continues to this day. Technically, a few economic indicators bumped up a little, here and there. GDP goes up and down. Government is a growth...

Our modern-day Caligula performed the marriage rites for Weiner and his now pregnant bride. Bridey is a prized protege of Succubus (aka Mrs Caligula or the Succubus in certain circles). Bereft of decency or shame, these sick men are nothing more than mentally disturbed predators who dishonor...

At any moment in time, the current president is always the WORST president to half of the nation. Any nation stupid enough to nominate and then elect Barack Obama no longer relies on reason or logic at the ballot box. To re-elect Obama confirms this is true. I would venture to say there is an...

Gov. Perry shows a lot of promise. He doesn't pull any punches when going after Obama. Perry has presided over a prosperous era in Texas. Strong conservative. Strong advocate for states' rights. Hopefully, he will enter the race.

There isn't much to like about having a Muslim-sympathizing Socialist in the White House. These are the darkest days for our nation since WWII. Can you imagine what a second-term for Obama would be??? No longer having to stand for re-election and freed from political considerations, all...

Whoops is right. The new Newt belongs in Goofy Land. Wasn't expecting the guy to go 180 degrees out of phase. Maybe the Stockholm Syndrome at work with Newt still trying to appease his tormentors. Still searching for a 2012 right-wing dragonslayer. Mitt Romney is a nice man and therein...

I can't believe I used to like this guy. Over the past several years, it became really uncomfortable watching Newt buddy up to the likes of Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi. More and more, Newt seemed too concerned with pleasing liberals in an attempt to rehabilitate his public image. Those...

Dumping Osama bin Laden into the ocean has set an excellent precedent for the United States. Such a move gives pause to future bad-guy wannabees. I cannot help but wonder what the reaction was in the Kremlin or China or Tehran? Will the Nobel Peace Prize Committee revoke Obama's medal? Will...

Triple B... I am seeing fewer vans out here; not more. Also, I see vans sitting longer between loads. There are more vanners on this website because vans are cheap and allow easy entry into the industry. Straight truck teams are probably too busy most of the time to contribute online. For...

Life is full of strange twists and turns. Nearly ten years ago, on September 11th I explained to my young son, then in middle school, that the United States had been attacked by Muslim fanatics. Tonight, I called my son in Camp Lejeune to tell him Osama bin Laden had been killed by American...

Karl Rove is symbolic of GOP woes. Rove is probably rooting for Huckabee or Romney. Typical establishment Republicans. Neither excites the conservative base. If one wants to see a competitive race in 2012, the GOP had better find a truly assertive, brash, charismatic plain-speaker. Someone...

Sad news: there is just no way the GOP pulls 50% of the presidential vote in 2012. Demographics indicate the Democrats have a stranglehold on at least half the voting public. No matter how badly the economy struggles, no matter the full push toward socialism, no matter Obama's associations...

The economic vise continues to tighten for many Americans. As we all remember, a sudden spike in fuel prices in 2008 presaged the great recession that still lingers. Disposable income for many families does not exist. More consumers will pull back on spending. Big ticket items like new cars...

This image brought on several minutes of quiet introspection. Those of us who can play ape or dinosaur with equal conviction are rarely paid such high tribute.

We could easily cut Big Government by 50% and get by just fine. Most growth in the size of government has happened in the last 30 to 40 years. American government functioned perfectly well when it was smaller and less intrusive. We now have more government than we can afford. The US federal...

Humanitarian crisis? More like an unadvised, ill-informed plunge into military adventurism. But, there is good news: we have a Nobel Peace Prize winner in the White House providing strong leadership. Surely, this warmonger has earned his place on Mount Rushmore. In fact, let us petition the...

Japan's massive earthquake, now acknowledged by the USGS to be a magnitude 9.0 combined with a tremendous tsunami to deliver a one-two punch which crippled some of the nation's coastline nuclear plants. The combined effect superseded human engineering...to a point. Luckily, as of now, the...

I advise getting a good, solid CPA in your local community. Any competent accountant should easily handle an LLC involved in trucking. First-time entrepreneurs are often bewildered by business and tax regulations. No need to worry with a CPA guiding you through the process. First...

Greg, there is so much to be learned from any nuclear accident. It is a mighty narrow view to think it is of no concern to other people outside Japan. Because fossil fuels are diminishing, our planet will have an ever increasing need for nuclear energy. This possible environmental calamity...
