    Interesting New Poll Out ...

    Well, she does fall squarely in the middle of that demographic. :D

    Think you know your hazmat? Take the test..

    Common practice to ask for what? Your real life experiences? :D I simply stated my experience, then Layout quoted me and told me that it depends on what I hauled and who I hauled it for. Yet that's not true, because no matter what I've hauled or who I've hauled it for, I've never been asked for...

    Interesting New Poll Out ...

    There's no question that the movement was hijacked by those who found it advantageous to do so. IOW, people with real jobs? Actually, two paragraphs down you'll find: "polls suggest that tea party activists are not only more mainstream than many critics suggest, but that a majority of them are...

    Think you know your hazmat? Take the test..

    My statement still stands. It doesn't matter what kind of freight I haul or for whom I haul it, I've still nevertheless not once been asked to show my medical card by anyone other than the two entities I've already stated. That doesn't mean that others have different experiences, it only relays...

    Think you know your hazmat? Take the test..

    Until Jan 30, 2014. In all my years with a medical card, I've only been asked for it by my state driver's licensing agency when renewing my CDL, and by my carrier after I've gotten the new medical card. Sooner than you think. And it's why people need to read those letters carefully. My medical...

    Hillary's parking ticket woe

    Maybe, maybe not, but in any case, it doesn't advance the discussion. It alters it, as in, you know, hijacks the thread to some other topic.

    Think you know your hazmat? Take the test..

    It only went into effect a couple of months ago where you self-certify with the state and give them a copy of your medical certificate, and you no longer have to carry your medical card with you.

    It's almost as silly as the fascination with vampires.

    Hillary's parking ticket woe

    No, that it's her fault. Everything else you have brought up is completely irrelevant to the topic. Everything.

    Hillary's parking ticket woe

    Actually, it's quite unreasonable to assume that.

    Hillary's parking ticket woe

    Considering she doesn't live in London, it's highly unlikely that she would buy a Mercedes limousine to use while she is there, much less buy one just to drive it to the Chatham House to receive an award, and it's even less likely that she shipped a limo across the Atlantic for the occasion. So...

    Hillary's parking ticket woe

    So you as a passenger would be personally responsible for when your taxi gets a ticket? Because that's precisely what you are saying. You're the one paying the fare, so you're the boss, so you are responsible for ensuring your driver knows where to park, how fast to drive, all of it, everything...

    Interesting New Poll Out ...

    No, it's not EXACTLY and pedantically correct, but in the context of what we now know as the Tea Party, in its current form, it's substantially correct. I was going to mention, and clearly should have, the fact the notion of "tea party" type protests have been around since the late 1700s, Pretty...

    SSSSHHHHH!!!!! They can hear you. They're everywhere around here! They think learning about HAZMAT is a ridiculous waste of time unless you actually haul it. :D

    Efficient gun control that makes sense

    OK, good. I feel relieved now. :D I'm sorry. You were replying directly to me, and you referenced me directly. I don't know why my bloody narcissism made me believe you were talking to me. It's a cross I must bear, apparently. At the risk of learning a new and improved definition of...

    Efficient gun control that makes sense

    Enough for what? Enough to draw conclusions based on incomplete information? I would say so. Enough to draw accurate conclusions? Not even. And yet, thanks to liberal democrats, we now have in this country programs that provide precisely that, cradle to grave governmental dependency. You call it...

    Interesting New Poll Out ...

    Yes and no. As an identifiable group, they weren't really in business before TARP, which became law in October 2008. The movement began, sort of, throughout the 1990s on the annual Tax Day protests, where by around 2001 some people began mailing tea bags into legislatures and other officials as...

    Efficient gun control that makes sense

    If that's true, then whoo-wee you are too easily angered. Pick yer battles, dood. Get angry over things that actually matter. Well, not to put too fine a point on it, but someone who has a track record of being exactly wrong about simple definitions isn't likely to be someone I'm going to take...

    Efficient gun control that makes sense

    You should probably read the book before making such comments. It certainly caused me to look at things a little differently.
