    Al Keyes Publicly calls Barry a Communist

    I used to listen to Alan Keyes radio show from time to time. Although, I think his heart is in the right place, Alan is a bit of a loose cannon. Intolerant of differing viewpoints and prone to calling people "stupid" when they disagree with him. For me, he's a screamer and a bully. Not what...

    EO 10 year's

    Some anonymous portly fella (typical expediter) told me about EO in a Flying J parking lot in Texas a few years ago. I had been with Panther several years and had never heard of EO. Now my universe of expediters from whom I can draw insight is greatly expanded. I learn something here...

    Would you take this run??

    For all the reasons Soxydon mentioned, going to Alaska in the dead of winter seems heavy on risks and short on rewards. Very little margin for error should something go wrong. I get bemused at armchair quarterbacks who don't actually drive the truck themselves, yet advocate such risk for...

    This guy Has the Right Idea

    Kentucky is a friendly state to gun ownership. Unless the state laws have changed recently, a citizen can still buy guns here at an open flea market without any registration or background check. Also, I think sales between private individuals are permitted as well. However, if you wish to...

    How picky are vans?

    Absolutely, take that load to Florida. That's a decent rate for vans.

    This guy Has the Right Idea

    Here in my home town, just outside Lexington, it is not uncommon to see men openly carrying a handgun in a holster on their belt. I have seen two individuals doing just that in my local WalMart within the past month. Pretty sure they weren't off duty cops. Just regular folks.

    When it rain it pours

    Most likely, the OP is an immigrant or grew up in a non-English speaking household. English is tough to master as a second language. English can be tough to master as a first language as well. This hardly makes anyone an animal. First and foremost, the OP is in a difficult spot...

    How Slow is Slow

    Nestor7... the real culprit seems to be that the well-employed aren't spending. Who can blame them? Uncertainty triggers self preservation.

    When it rain it pours

    That is tough luck for sure. Unfortunatey, this anecdotal story is probably being played out in multiple locales right now.

    Turtle... would you give the same speech in both places? And with equal enthusiasm?

    Impeach Obama Now

    We don't need no stinkin' criminal charges... but, a good trumped-up salacious rumor might do. Can someone Photo-shop a picture of Obama and Boy George in a compromising pose?

    Impeach Obama Now

    OKay, B.O. has been President for 30 days now. Done diddly squat. The honeymoon is over. Impeach Obama now. This 30 day grace period is 29 days and 23 hours longer than the one extended to Bush. Fellow members of the vast right-wing conspiracy, with righteous indignation, call your...

    Is Obama a closet conservative?

    Layout... how much cost for a permit to go after a flesh-eating chimpanzee in Connecticut? I realize the chimp was finally put down by the cops, but was that a crazy situation or what?

    location

    Greetings... I hail originally from Pikeville, home of the annual Hillbilly Days Festival. Land of the Hatfields and McCoys. Rugged mountain terrain along the West Virginia border. Norman Rockwell would still recognize this place largely unchanged by time.

    location

    Sittin' by the fireplace at home. 10 miles south of Lexington. No ocean view, but I can see horses playing from the window.

    Is Obama a closet conservative?

    My younger brother still works in the underground coal mines of Eastern Kentucky. They mine coal 24/7 just to keep up with demand. Coal is America's ace in the hole.

    It could be worse

    Got my trucking sea legs in a Conestoga wagon riding along side of Ward Bond... it was heck fighting off Indians, malaria, revenuers, etc. Navigated by sextant and dead reckoning. If somebody died enroute, we just buried 'em right there by the Wilderness Road. Didn't give it no-never-mind. *L*
