I'm using it in such a way so as to more easily allow others to focus on the munitiae rather than on what's important. Same way I used "chest" earlier, because whether he was shot in the chest or the back, is what's important, and whether or not the ballistic trajectory was affected is equally...

My apologies for being careless with my wording. The phrase "get one more in the chest for good measure after he's laying there" is nothing more than a synonym for "one more shot at point blank range after he'd fell to the ground." So, you can replace "in the chest" with "in the back" if you...

The release of the robbery video, against the strong objections of the FBI and the Department of Justice, was nothing more than deflection bait to try and convince people to give the police the benefit of the doubt with the "well, maybe he deserved it" mindset. It gets people talking about...

Your butt will thank you. I have the full back w/lumbar support, and the 2" seat base. I've had it for 10 years. Best money I've spent on the van.

You misunderstand. The program was initially aimed directly, from the credit card fraud and consumer protection perspective, at the quick loan, check cashing and credit repair businesses, but once that door was opened, people started adding other industries to the pot. I think saying every one...

The GOP went after Clinton and it was 100% political. If the prosecution was a Republican then you'd have something other than politics to this, but it's clearly politics. Threatening a veto is also pure politics. Happens all the time. It's literally the same thing as the federal government...

Some confusion, possibly.... The "high risk" refers to what is actually a "high reputation risk," to the bank, as determined by the federal government, rather than financial or some other type of risk. And isn't that rich. Of course, the reputational risk to the bank means more hassles from the...

If I had to name 5 blue states or 5 red states I couldn't do it without a map already colored in with the appropriate colors. I can't remember what red means or what blue means. Because I don't care. It's irrelevant to me. It doesn't affect me at all. I don't play for a particular team so I...

Where can you get a Sprinter transmission installed for $300 labor?

Votes the wrong color? Are we still on red and blue, or have we moved on back to black and white? Fits either way, I suppose. People are people. It's still nothing more than Southern Hospitality. People in the South are friendlier than people in the north. Always have been, and likely always...

LOL Thanks. :)

MPG and deadhead are the two things that will kill you dead out here, and the two things you have control over.

The only thing that would have made it more riveting would be a limited budget and a relentless clock counting down to the deadline.

For the record, I "Liked" it not because it was a cheap shot, or that I necessarily agree or disagree with said cheap shot, or said nutjob, but because I like intelligent prose in the turn of a phrase. The reality is that it has nothing to do with red or blue, but is simply Southern Hospitality.

At the Freightliner dealer in Harrisburg, PA a new Sprinter transmission is $6400. At a Dodge dealer in Corsicana, TX it's $4100. At my local mechanic it's $2800. You can get a remanufactured 04-06 Sprinter engine for $6145.84 installed.

There are several things that differentiate an employee from an independent contractor. Two of the biggest insofar as expediting is, the owner or carrier cannot dictate to you when to work, where to go or when to be there, and, the ways and means of accomplishing the job. The owner will (or...

How do you get an appointment with that guy?

If you go to work for an owner and fill out a W-4 form and get paid an hourly wage, you're right, that makes you an employee. If, however, you lease the truck from the truck owner in order to run your small business, you own that business. You make the decisions with that business, what loads to...

Everyone in here was a newbie once. Heck, most of us still are.
