    Just had a penitentiary flashback....

    You've been hornswaggled and bamboozled. That's a fake news site. It's a Wordpress Blog.. Notice the URL has a .com and then another co after it. NBC.com.co is part of a growing number of websites ending in “.co” that attempt to disguise themselves as reputable brands. The list of fake websites...

    Trusting Iranians...

    Sooooo, I hate Muslims. Got it. (You might have gotten that one past if you hadn't used "mullahocracy" as if it somehow mattered. Well, that and the fact that the deal doesn't, in fact, allow them to develop nuclear weapons capabilities nor the means to deliver them. Read the agreement. Or at...

    Trusting Iranians...

    I do have to wonder what, exactly, about the deal is a joke. I keep seeing bi- and non-partisan people coming out in favor of it, but few partisan conservatives. Something like the Iran deal is by its very nature not a partisan issue (unless your alternative is either complete obliteration of...

    Just had a penitentiary flashback....

    Failing to enforce laws on the books is one thing, as there are countless laws that are rarely or no longer enforced (desuetude). But selectively enforcing the laws, not applying them equally, is unconscionable. Several presidents in the past have refused to enforce federal laws, but in every...

    The Trump Card...

    If you don't call him stuff, how ya gonna demonize him? Ya gotta call him stuff. He's a charlatan (one who professes more knowledge or skill than they actually possess), a huckster (a person who employs showy methods to effect a sale), and a clown (very scary person). Never mind that those terms...

    Football Referee blindsided.

    It's a team sport. You win as a team, you lose as a team. You jump off sides and the entire team gets pushed back 5 yards, not just the offender. That's why the entire team should be suspended for the rest of the year and all of the games forfeit. And if any of the coaches were involved, then...

    16 Health Benefits from Drinking Warm Lemon Water

    Lemon may be an excellent and rich source of vitamin C, but lemon water is not. Lemons contain pectin fiber, lemon juice does not (unless it's very, very pulpy). Lemon water contains even less. The fruit of a lemon, eaten whole, like with a knife and fork, contains about 1% pectin fiber. Lemon...

    Just had a penitentiary flashback....

    Not at all. While Title VII expressly excludes elected officials, Kentucky has a state Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) which, as it does in the 20 or so other states with the same act, extends Title VII to government agencies and, among other things, requires them to exempt religious...

    Football Referee blindsided.

    Yeah, I read the Tweets from students (in the crowd and on the team) yesterday. At least at this point, I'm not buying the whole racial slurs thing. Even the alleged comment by the assistant coach sounds like something a teenager made up and worded in a way that an adult would have said it, only...

    Just had a penitentiary flashback....

    More than that it depends on where you are in the legal process. Davis wasn't immediately sent to jail the first time she refused to hand out marriage licenses, just like DC Police Chief Cathy Lanier wasn't thrown in jail immediately upon her first refusal to issue gun permits. Whoever penned...

    Football Referee blindsided.

    That's why it stands out so much as being shocking. Texans don't often see within their state immature, adolescent behavior over something perceived to be unfair coming from people who are not adolescents. They see it in national liberal politics all the time, though, but those are adult...

    It's time to post inflammatory content.

    When we're online all the time we get ragged on for being online all the time and called pathetic and pitiful for not having a life, and when we're not online all the time we get ragged on for not being online all the time and called pathetic and pitiful for shirking our duties. It's arguably...

    Just had a penitentiary flashback....

    Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (the religious accommodation provisions were enacted in the 1972 amendments) disagrees with you, wholeheartedly. If that were the case, then the accommodation would be an "undue hardship" on the employer, which the law specifically guards against. Title...

    What can I expect as a subcontractor? & questions

    Experience. If you can gain some experience by talking to other expediters and/or watching them secure loads, do it. The goal of freight securement is to make it so the freight cannot move in the even of an accident, a hard braking or some other defensive driving maneuver. When in doubt, use...

    Rental fee as driver for fleet owner/company?

    Mayfield Express (Buno's outfit powered by Sundeck, whatever "powered by" means), at least at one time, I don't know if they still are, charged rent for things like ratchet straps and other securements, as a means of being able to insist they have no employer-controls over those who drive for...

    Are we havng a Rosa Parks moment, sort of?

    Actually I never used the word "hetero," I used "anyone else" quite specifically. Heteros fall into that category, but I did not limit it to heterosexuals. Also, I used "have had" as in the past tense, meaning prior to the term marriage" being redefined. I knew gay people in the 60s, 70s, and...

    Are we havng a Rosa Parks moment, sort of?

    Generally speaking, what happens in other threads is best left to those threads. It's unfair and unreasonable in most cases to hold someone accountable in one thread context for what they said in another. Just something to be aware of, is all. I'm aware of that. I'm also aware of, you know, Open...
