    It has been ten years since the last

    Should such a scenario become reality, everything changes. Hell would have no fury like the American outrage if we are attacked again on our own soil by terrorists. Depending on the scale and severity of losses, we would quickly become a militant nation. Of course, we pray another attack...

    2009 Most Awesome Location

    The most poignant for me was entering Dover Air Force Base as a hearse was leaving. Absolutely chilling.

    I wonder how Obama will react

    Jaminjim... I am trying to follow this thread but cannot find the central theme in question. Clearly, I am overlooking or missing something. Threads go astray and I get lost. Please restate the salient points and I will try to keep up.

    Kentucky Bear Season Begins

    :Layout... you are correct in saying Tennessee has an active bear management program, and indirectly, Kentucky's bear population would benefit from that program. We get the smart bears seeking refuge from gun toting hunters in Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. Many of these migrating...

    What doyou think Expediting will be like in 2010?

    In answer to the thread's question... I expect 2010 to be very much like 2009. A continuation of cheap rates. Shippers love it and it's really caught on. Those temporary rate cuts weren't really temporary.

    What doyou think Expediting will be like in 2010?

    We can make a fair living from expediting without hoping to gain from the misfortune of others. I like mild winters and accident-free travel for all.

    American Glasnost, Perestroika & Apartheid

    Thanks, Mr Obama. Glasnost... no. you work in secrecy. Perestroika.... hope not. Apartheid... unfortunately, on some levels , yes. Obama's polarizing socialism drives Americans into two distinct camps.

    Dirty deeds done dirt cheap

    Why are the Senate Democrats hiding the healthcare reform proposals? Why won't they put the bill online for Americans to see? What's in this monstrosity that won't hold up to public scrutiny? What's the problem, Democrats??... show us your healthcare reform baby pictures.

    And now the Athlete of the Decade

    Professional sports has integrity? Since when? They make a claim to integrity when it suits their purposes and act with avarice when it doesn't. I like college sports, now. I can't stomach professional sports anymore. It is all about money and egos.

    And now the Athlete of the Decade

    Cooperstown is a sham without Pete Rose. It's like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame pretending The Beatles never happened. Political correctness as practiced by MLB. If it is determined Tiger Woods used performance enhancement drugs to gain an edge on the golf course, will the PGA rescind all...

    And now the Athlete of the Decade

    Intensity was watching Pete Rose face St Louis pitcher Bob Gibson... full count, fouling off six or seven straight pitches before knocking one over the right field wall. Intensity was watching Pete make an unassisted double play not once but twice in the same game. Intensity was watching Pete...

    And now the Athlete of the Decade

    This is true. I wish baseball could have found a compromise allowing Pete to redeem himself. Bart Giamatti went for the kill. Too harsh in my estimation.

    And now the Athlete of the Decade

    Can't take anything away from Woods for his accomplishments on the golf course. They stand on their own merit. Reminds me of my beloved Pete Rose. When baseball turned its back on Pete, they lost me as an avid fan.

    Driving a stake through the heart of Obamacare

    Many high profile Democrats, including Howard Dean, are calling for the Senate to "kill the bill" known as Obamacare. The Right abhors the proposed legislation and the Left is starting to walk away. Maybe, just maybe... Obama's wet dream of socialized medicine will become a dry run.

    Obama threatens military base closure

    No link. Heard radio report that Rahm Emmanuel delivered veiled threat to Sen Nelson about possible base closure. I went to Omaha.com - The Omaha World-Herald where Nelson's office is now denying any such pressure was applied. I am stating what I heard reported. No confirmation.

    Listening to radio news report , tonight, Obama administration has threatened Sen. Nelson (D-Nebraska) with the closure of an Air Force base in Nebraska unless Nelson votes for Obamacare. When did our military bases and service personnel become pawns in domestic politics?
