Of course Obama is not a conservative. But, then, neither was Bush. Obama is a pragmatist.

Wow. How long have you known your new O/O? Long enough to put blind faith in his/her analysis. Being in the expediting business right now might prove nothing more than there are a lot of folks stuck with truck payments from which there is no escape.

Not to worry, the fix is in.

Does this relegate Gertrude to the status of half-sister?

I'm with ya on the car salesman.

On the planet Vulcan, logic and reason rule without interference from emotion. Earthlings, however, are endowed with emotions and these emotions mess everything up. It can lead to an overindulgence in superficiality. Dang it. I remain duped. *L*

Octogenarian Alan Greenspan now favors nationalization of some troubled US banks. Let them become a government owned institution much like the Bank of England? This is more than a trial balloon: it's a shift away from capitalism as we've known it. I can see a rapid decline in Americans'...

No, no.... I wasn't disagreeing with you, Layout. We are in close alignment philosophically on this case. I was having fun with our pugilistic penpal, Turtle. He makes me think, but I remain unconvinced.

OK. We're looking at this from different perspectives, with different points of view and drawing different conclusions. We will have to agree to disagree. Without being disagreeable. *L*

Moreover, I am left to wonder why George W. commuted these sentences? He was fanatical in his insistence that the border agents be prosecuted. Could it be because Bush is retiring to Crawford,Tx and now has to live among the offended? If Johnny Sutton is brought to trial, I wonder if an...

Turtle... have you considered prosecutor Johnny Sutton just might be an overzealous, politically ambitious man who is trying to make a name for himself as he seeks higher office? Happens all the time. One irrefutable fact is clear: Ramos and Compean are terrible marksmen. Sheesh...

Turtle... I made no attempt to exonerate Ramos and Compean. I don't really know what happened there. The "facts" are elusive and confusing. More than one version of events have been put forth. I don't lend more credence to the prosecution because I don't trust their motives. My natural...

Border Patrol agents, Ramos and Compean, were released from prison today. President Bush had commuted their sentences in the waning hours of his administration. Congressman Ted Poe (R-TX) says he will petition Predident Obama to grant a full pardon to the two men.

Harry Truman would be my favorite Democrat president. Plain spoken and pro-military. He was a conservative Democrat in a time when that was allowed by the party. During the 70's, 80's and 90's, the Democrat Party purged itself of conservatives. In today's political climate, I suspect ol'...

Guido... my Ford E350 is an extended van with 126" inches of linear space from back door to bulkhead. Cargo capacity of 2600 LBS. Averages 18mpg empty and loaded. 7.3L diesel. My two Ford diesel vans have combined mileage over one million miles with few repairs needed. A good used one...

Our government makes me so spittin' mad. By my thinking, the US government should have just enough money left to arrange a nice one-way riverboat cruise for themselves. I will gladly play the role of their captain, Charon, boatman on the River Styx. Deliver their sorry souls across that...

OK, these are funny. A little too close to home. As a bona fide Appalachian, they make me squirm. But very funny.

Spam may become a delicacy in the not too distant future. The wedding reception was just a ruse.

DaveKC... if carriers go to psychological testing for expediters, we have found the panacea to thin the herd. I am hoping to get grandfathered in.

Of course, he's reptilian.
