    A-maze-ing

    Bill Irons of Irons Fruit Farm in Lebanon, Ohio has, quite literally, created a field of dreams. Irons, 44, has carved a Reds-centric design into his 12-acre cornfield. The field features a bat-wielding Mr. Redlegs smack-dab in the center. The current Reds logo is cut into the upper left...

    Need help please! 28cplm????

    Well, with a 60/40 split with the driver paying fuel and getting the 60, and with fuel costing 34 cents a mile, 60 percent of .80 is 48 cents, plus the 20 odd cents for FSC, that equals 68 cents. Minus the 34 cents for fuel and the driver takes home 34 cents a mile. And that's on the low end...

    Need help please! 28cplm????

    You're heard of The Incredibles, and you've heard of the Expendables. Now we have The Incomprehensibles. Real, actual expediters know it's an exercise in futility to try and figure out an hourly wage for this job. It's meaningless, as time spent sitting is just as valuable, if not as...

    If you need to post links to back up your theories, then they're not really your theories. If you need to post links in order to say, "See? Other people believe this, toooo!", then your justification is swallowed up in a logical fallacy.

    Pending Violence?

    Frankly, that's a largely meaningless statement unless you explain it. I'm thoroughly confused as to how to could be FAR more basic than political party, yet at the same time be very complicated. In what way is it very complicated? In what way is it far more basic than political ideologies...

    God gets snubbed by DNC

    I never said it was a state function, I said it was governmental politics, which it is. Well, customary in the last four Democratic Platforms, anyway. Before that's it's pretty thin, anything but customary. God wasn't mentioned at all in 1988, 1984, or 1980. Or 1976, or 1972, or 1968, or in...

    God gets snubbed by DNC

    Correct, just the re-vote. I have not seen or heard anything regarding why the language was changed, either. I suppose it could be for any number of reasons (most of which were obviously designed to make Republicans crap themselves).

    Have A Nice Day!

    Not often, but yes. I, too encountered such phrasing while on the phone with both dispatchers and Safety personnel at your current carrier. The last time I was in the receiving end of the euphemistic phrase was, ironically, at a Flying J. My response that time, as is often the case with these...

    In that context, the Pearls of Wisdom in one of the pearly rants above takes on an entirely new meaning, doesn't it? ;)

    God gets snubbed by DNC

    A delegate from Salt Lake City, of all places, objected to the use of God in the language because it introduces religion into governmental politics which goes against the separation of church and state. She did agree with the reinstatement of the Jerusalem language. What makes the comments...

    DNC video says " Government is the only thing we all belong to."

    That's what Kunta Kinte said.

    Today, the freedom and power to negotiate that the unions want and employ translates to something more akin to extortion than it does to "bargaining in good faith".

    The fact that unions are corrupt and have been infiltrated by organized crime is hardly new news. Jimmy Hoffa complained about it all the time. Well, until they disappeared him.

    Why was post deleted

    Could be. I've posted a few times, or rather could have sworn I did, and ended up closing the wrong tab or something else had happened. Double posted, too, which isn't supposed to happen. Might be a glitch. Who knows. Repost it if you can remember it all.
