    Expedite Expo 2016 - Expedite Expo moving to a new city

    It's an easy mistake to make considering he was replying to banal chit chat amongst a sea of banal chit chat that also has nothing to do with moving the Expo to a new city or with the new city. <shrug>

    How should I call this, sabotage or discrimination?

    I certainly hope you found out why the drivers left, and why the carrier facilitated or possibly recommended the do so. It could be due to misperceptions or misunderstandings that you can avert in the future, dismiss them as aberrations, or as something over which you need to take a hard look in...

    Obama, the criminal's friend

    Seems more like a probable cause case than a blanket testing of everyone case. My recollection of the Christian-Newsom case isn't what it should be, because that case wasn't all that publicized nationally, so you'll have to refresh my memory on how he improperly admistered due process. He was...

    The Trump Card...

    A Senator serving more than one term can be questioned hard about whether he (or she) is actually serving the public. National politics is virtually always about political and personal power and personal gain moreso than it is about "service" to the public. The Founding Fathers designed the...

    You'd have to give an example of where a judge or a legislator wrecked a life the same as any truck driver (immediate, serious, and irreversible, which are the standards used in federal regulations). Enacting legislation or ruling on legal precedent doesn't count as a wrecked life, nor does not...

    Well, "lead by example" in the federal workforce was to set an example for the private workforce. The reason legislators and judges aren't tested for drugs is, just because you have a bias towards a group of people, be they legislators, or judges, or poor people (welfare recipients), that isn't...

    Not your father's grill

    Not if you have to buy a van to do it. :D You can add additional AGM batteries for longer runtimes, as well as additional solar panels (or even a wind turbine). It's handy for tailgating, camping, and emergencies. It's not waterproof, though.

    The reason it is constitutional for one group (several, actually) and not others is because the Supreme Court has carved out several exceptions to the 4th Amendment's illegal search clause. Normally under the 4th Amendment, probable cause and a warrant are generally required for government...

    Still looking!!!!

    Hand unloads don't happen often, but nearly every one of them is a surprise, and not very many of them are out the back of the van and up onto the dock. My last load, which was Thursday afternoon, was a hand unload. 14 large and unwieldy boxes, about 50 pounds each, had to be taken from the van...

    The Trump Card...

    The tall tales of McCain's war record are nothing more than tall war tales that tells you all you need to know if you know they're tall tales (McCain's war record is less-than stellar). Boot camp and the reality of the truth (McCain had a rough boot camp and just barely graduated the Naval...

    Muslim data...

    You say "the vast majority" yet you offer nothing on which to base such a statement. The reason such a statement requires some sort of basis for making it is because it's not true. It may very well be your perception, either because when Muslims make statements condemning terrorists and...

    Unfortunately, Americans being Americans, we won't bother to distinguish radical from pedestrian and will just go big picture with it.

    Muslim data...

    The graphic that began this Channel 19 thread is certainly that, what with it comparing and contrasting and equating an entire religion to the actions of a very small percentaged subset of the religion. But as Aristotle notes, that kind of stupidity and ignorance is going to be with us just as...

    Pretty weak, Rags. Not you, necessarily, but the article and it's attempt to equate Christian-motivated targeted assassination to that of radical Islamic jihad terrorism, particularly when the article begins by minimalizing the Tsarnaev brothers' influence of radical Islam as being merely "both...

    Kentucky's laws on drug testing are quite typical of the states which have laws regarding drug testing of applicants and employees. http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/workplace-drug-testing-in-kentucky.html

    If a test is considered a false-positive, then the positive result is summarily discarded, and the test is considered to be a negative result. That's what false-positive means. If it's a false-positive, it's negative, and you don't ask someone to retest after a negative result. So no, they...

    Would love to see a full on production of Rossini"s The Barbaric Trucker from Seville, or Verde's La Traveliata, maybe even Mozart's melodramatic and comical Don Giovanner.
