    Ground flight : modern day crooks?

    Anyone with any experience in this business should know that simply relaying what others have said shouldn't be done. We've all seen case after case where drivers have complained about this or that, and it's turned out to be an incorrect interpretation of what the driver thought should happen...

    Ground flight : modern day crooks?

    Current or former employer or not, naming names or not, hearsay or not, when you say something defamatory about someone or a business entity, something that maliciously or damagingly misrepresents the person or entity and cannot be supported by facts, that's libel. At this point you're on your...

    Unbridled Exuberant Arrogance

    Instead of "stoning" I was going to say "hanging," but that might come off as racist. What I'd really like is for him to be nailed to a cross and planted on display for a few weeks just outside the fence in front of the White House Lawn, but that might be construed as having some slight racist...

    Say the word gun, get suspended

    There's a world of difference between discussing medical patients and that of the very public school system and its operations. The "Federal privacy laws" that this and many school administrators like to hide behind to CYA is FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974). It's the...

    Unbridled Exuberant Arrogance

    In Holder's case, I'm actually all for skipping the trial and simply move to giving him a first class stoning.

    Here's the Web page announcing the show (Sumter Cruisers Home Page). That explains the comment that at least I wasn't charged $5 to enter the show. :D

    Say the word gun, get suspended

    It's absolutely substantiated because it's a non-denial denial, it's what she could have said and didn't. Again, there are no federal privacy laws preventing her from discussing this case. None. "C'mon: the single word 'gun' results in not just a suspension, but a home search by Sheriff's...

    Ground flight : modern day crooks?

    Having an opinion is one thing, but when you state things as facts without backing them up, it's dancing all around libel. Those drivers you don't want any retribution against are probably already experiencing it, whether they deserve it or not, or at the very least are getting a real close...

    Say the word gun, get suspended

    Go to the original source of the story and you'll see that it is absolutely substantiated by Robin Welsh, the deputy superintendent of Calvert County Schools. The citing of privacy laws is a cop out that many school officials use when they are put in the hot seat about stupid decisions they...

    Say the word gun, get suspended

    I agree, and I'm not a big fan of litigation. But in this case, it appears that litigation is the only recourse. I'd be suing all kinds of people on this one.

    Mobil 1 Oil on sale

    Walmart is normally $24.95 for the 5-quart jugs, and it's on sale at many locations for the $22.47. They have the Mobil 1 0W-40 for sure, and I think I remember seeing the 5w-40, but I'm not positive about that. Not sure if it's the ESP or not. Don't use it, don't need it, so didn't pay very...

    Incidentally, I parked last night at the Walmart in Sumter. I awoke late this morning to find myself parked right in the middle of a Classic Car Show. 57 Chevy parked to my right and a 54 Nash Rambler on my left. It's like I'm part of the show! I asked these very polite people why they didn't...

    Unbridled Exuberant Arrogance

    Interesting how popcorn ducks, marina fish, and people on welfare, all exhibit exactly the same behaviors. And for the same reasons. Shame we can't eat the people on welfare. Easy pickins.

    I feel the same way. Last Friday afternoon I delivered a load from Laredo to Smyrna (less than 2 hours from the house). 1113 miles that never got "bumped up" like they said it would, so I ran it on the yellow Penske van cheap. But that's OK, because 10 hours later I got a recovery barn burner...

    how many miles have you got on your sprinter

    513K so far. It's an 05 that I bought in 06 with 4100 miles on it. Still had the new car smell and the plastic on the steering wheel and the air bag warning on the passenger side.

    S.C. valedictorian ignores FFRF, others

    It's a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Since people are people, and most people are religious, to pretend otherwise is reee-tarrrd-ed. Freedom of speech and freedom of expression should be accepted and welcomed at any public assembly. The establishment of, or even the...
