That's the classic red herring argument: beside the point, misdirection [form of], changing the subject, false emphasis, the Chewbacca defense, irrelevant conclusion, irrelevant thesis, smokescreen, clouding the issue, ignorance of refutation, judgmental language [form of]. A red herring is...

It's a pretty good piece. And not because it's more or less the same things I've been saying here and elsewhere for years. It's good because if you read it honestly, it'll make you think. Best reader comment: The Koran if anyone reads it is thoroughly peaceful and the very definition for a...

My most recent load was precisely that. Nine thousand large plastic drinking cups specially designed and printed for the annual "Iron Bowl" football game between Alabama and Auburn, shipped from the manufacturer in Pennsylvania to Jordan-Hare Stadium at Auburn University, Concessions. Carrier...

I was amazed to recently learn that all those tractor-trailer drivers at Landstar are actually "Non Truckers" because they are, instead, Contract Drivers. EO is a veritable font of information.

Actually you did when you said you had studied the Bible and Koran and then gave your conclusions. Then you said it again when you told me that I was incorrect about why Muhammad left Mecca and that I needed to do more in-depth research. I really don't know about that, since I've never done, nor...

Well, Obama certainly isn't above using misdirection and deflection to cover up his blundering of slight-of-hand tricks. He's had an unusually large number of opportunities these past 6 years to practice his craft - and he's very good at it. Almost without exception, every time there's been a...

No problem. :)

ORLY? Shall I give a 9000 paragraph dissertation on just how deeply I've studied this crap? I never said he left Mecca because of his followers. They merely left with him, as in followed him, which is why they were called followers. I said he left after years and years of persecution. Several...

The same can be said of every other issue known to man, whether it be a stop sign at this intersection or how often to mow the grass at the city park. With the exception of extremely small communities, and even those are iffy, you will never have everyone agree 100% of the time on everything...

Getting out of this cold weather. First drop in Sturgis, MI in the morning, where I'm now and where it's still cold, then down about halfway between Indy and Cincy for the second stop later in the morning, then on down to just west of Warner-Robins AFB in Georgia on Wednesday morning. One...

Sitting in Woodhaven, I agree.

It's called thermodynamics. :D

The author of the piece, Mindy Fisher, has as her autobiographical bio: "Mindy is a freelance writer....a lefty Lib....a lover of satire....and a smart blonde" Three out of four ain't bad. Calling her a "dumb blonde" would be a compliment. There are so many factual errors and intentional...

CDL is an acronym that stands for Commercial Drivers License. What makes it different from a regular operator's Drivers License is the operative word, Commercial. Now you know. :D There are 15 states, including New York, which require a non-commercial Class A or Class B to drive any vehicle...

I can honestly say that I can't think of a single Washington D.C. regime in my lifetime that could handle it any better.

It's clear you haven't studied the Quran, or the Bible very carefully. It's only OK for Muslims to lie in the same circumstances that it's OK for Christians to lie. It's is definitely permissible for both. And it's forbidden by both under the same conditions. Maybe you should "study" these...

Why are you surprised about any of it? It's true. GOP legislators are easily distracted and have the attention span of a oh look, chocolate milk!

The line in question was commented out in the source code, which means it's not actually part of the code. It's not something that people are (or were) agreeing to without their knowledge. For one, HIPPA relates to medical information, of which the Web site doesn't ask. So the Web site is...

Obamacare? What's that?
