    Done Deal

    I absolutely love this quote, from Yoel Guzansky, a researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University and former Iranian nuclear monitor for Israel's National Security Council. "It's a bad agreement because of what it symbolizes," he said. "It means Iran is...

    Done Deal

    Schumer tends to raise the bar whenever the opportunity presents itself, though. Schumer said. “A fairer agreement would have coupled a reduction in sanctions with a proportionate reduction in Iranian nuclear capability.” Uhm, Chuck, that's precisely what the agreement did. Unless...

    Penske Trucks being targeted?

    Not sure what the reason would be for requiring a CDL B for vans. That's the same as requiring a CDL A for a straight truck. Class A, B and C is for the class of vehicle you drive. Seems a little much to require someone to take the road test in a straight truck in order to drive a cargo van...

    Penske Trucks being targeted?

    That may be true for some expediters, but drivers of dump trucks, city delivery trucks, cement trucks, and trucks for air cargo delivery will still buy those trucks. If you drive a CMV which requires logging and scaling and inspections and the whole bit, the difference between all that and the...

    Penske Trucks being targeted?

    How does it sound like that? The PDF clearly outlines the different classes of trucks, from Class One through Class Eight, and eliminated Class One (6,000 pounds or less) and Class Two (6,001 to 10,000 pounds) from both the definition of single-unit truck and from the study. They state very...

    I'm a patient sort. But I'm really looking to move again. Just not to Saginaw.

    People in TX are backwards

    The fundamental problem with the Texas Board of Education (BoE), and many other Boards of Education, and most religious folks is, they have a fundamental misunderstanding of the difference between a "belief" and a "theory." Many of them think "theory = belief" no different from each other...

    November winds of change, banter, and a surprise whoopee cushion

    It's currently 50 degrees here in Winston-Salem. On my way to central TN. Oh, yeah, I got a load! Had to consult the rocket science manual on what to do. Been so long since I had one.

    It used to do that down on I-35 somewhere north of Laredo, too. The best one was just north of Mobile where it had me get off the interstate, drive around the block, and get right back on the interstate. I swear I heard it giggling a few minutes later.

    Yes, a person of authority which you attacked for no other reason than you wanted to attack me unprovoked, and you didn't like it when I responded in a manner which hurt your feelings. Like I said, don't dish out it if you can't take it. Trying to get me in trouble with Lawrence ain't gonna...

    Sorry. I thought it was a trick question... or something... since what you wrote only contains a single propositional phrase.

    Telling me what you attacked me about doesn't make it NOT an attack.

    I'm well aware of what a declarative sentence is. Your thread title was split into two parts, connected by a series of periods (ellipsis) indicating a pause and flow of a sentence, ending with a colon and the following enumeration. It's all one declarative sentence, all one statement. It's a...
