    Yellow penske trucks

    Me neither. It's either a CMV or it's not. If it's placarded, it is. If it's over 10,000 pounds, it is.

    Sitting in a cornfield

    Even in a van I've been told I have to leave right away. It's happened several times. Chemical and oil refineries, military bases, nuclear power plants, even regular ol' warehouses.

    Wil He or Won't He?

    He won't get Congressional approval, and when he doesn't get it, he won't strike on his own. If he does he'll almost certainly be impeached. He pushed the Constitutional envelope pretty far with Libya as it was, but if he asks for and doesn't get Congressional approval, and then goes ahead and...

    Yellow penske trucks

    Well, overweight in a Sprinter (or cargo van) is not in and of itself illegal, but once the gross weight hits 10,001 pounds you're instantly a CMV regardless of what the GVWR states on the door. If you have a GVWR of 9,990 and you're 20 pounds overweight, you'd better be logging. Definitions...

    A union man's dog

    How about here? Two managers and a union worker were fishing on a lake one day, when Jesus walked across the water and joined them in the boat. When the three astonished men had settled down enough to speak, the first guy asked humbly, "Jesus, I've suffered from back pain ever since I took...

    Vomit!!!!!!!!!

    I don't know what's worse, the heartbreak of psoriasis or the hassle of having to fill out paperwork for free stuff.

    Obamas Syria case flawed

    I wonder what Kerry's response might be to Syria launching an attack on, oh, say, Maryland, as a punitive measure for Obama killing US citizens with drones of mass retardation. I wonder if he might consider that an act of war, in the classic sense.

    Obamas Syria case flawed

    "The aim is to "prevent or deter" Syria from killing its citizens with chemical weapons, according to the Obama administration's original draft resolution." Buuuut drones are OK for killing your citizens. It boggles the mind that Obama and anyone in Congress considers a military attack on...

    Obama follows Constitution on Syria

    The quote was pulled from one article and put into another. It happens all the time with electronic media. I mean, every day that stuff happens at countless Web sites of news media, especially those with print editions, where stories are constantly updated, edited and rewritten. The problem in...

    Obama follows Constitution on Syria

    An update, and what really happened. Here's the article that contains the "missing" quote. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/02/world/middleeast/syria.html?ref=global-home Here's the explanation and how it all went down, including the (somewhat understandable) knee-jerk misunderstanding of...

    Dood Calls NSA to Have Them Undelete His E-mails.

    An Iranian, living in Amsterdam, calls up the NSA to see if they can help him with his deleted Gmail e-mails. How fun is that? :D

    so what happens if the price of gas is $10 a gallon?

    Remember back when people were asking what happens if the price of gas goes to $3.00 a gallon? This is what it looked like. :)

    Obama follows Constitution on Syria

    An ancient, tried and true journalism axiom: Whenever an article headline asks a question that can be answered with "no," no is usually the right answer. :D

    Obama follows Constitution on Syria

    The French have released a declassified 9-page document of evidence that Assad's forces carried out the "massive and coordinated" chemical attack on its civilian population. One small problem with it, though, it doesn't contain any actual evidence. It cites lots and lots of evidence, but it...

    Panhandler...to give or not to give, that's the question.

    My standard answer is: "I don't carry cash. I travel on company credit cards, and they watch every penny."

    The Clown in Chief

    That statement is an oxymoron. If it's in flux, then it's constantly being altered or changed, since flux literally means constant change, passage or movement. I think it's been clearly demonstrated that's not the case. Some parts of it is absolute, some parts aren't. Nevertheless, the phrase...

    The Clown in Chief

    You're the one who created the "unless" in order to create this entirely different animal. As written, the "shall not" of the Second Amendment is an absolute. The statement that, "Constitutional provisions aren't necessarily meant to exist unfettered or unrestricted," is patently false in the...
