    Armstrong Vs. Obama

    I don't think Romney deserves any praise for not taking a paycheck, either. He was never shy to let anybody know that he wasn't taking a paycheck, as if that's supposed to make him just wunnerful, wunnerful, wunnerful. Even the Presidential salary is just walking around money to this guy. Not...

    Bond .... James Bond

    Well, Connery played the best Bond, but Craig is the better actor.

    Obama declares Louisiana emergency

    No, you're correct. The only thing wrong might have been thinking this wasn't a Soapbox topic. Oh, wait, you're right about that, tooo.

    What's your favorite SNL quote?

    I got a FEVAH! And the only prescription...is MORE COWBELL! Close second: Jane, you ignorant :censoredsign:.

    Armstrong Vs. Obama

    Actually they did. They imagined the citizenry having precisely the same arms as the government had, since the government is derived from the governed.

    Armstrong Vs. Obama

    Usually it's a dead giveaway that I'm posting using the Droid. But in this case, it's because I'm multitasking more than normal, trying to find a new source for Shell ATF 134 since RyderFleetProducts apparently no longer carriers it, and also contemplating the very real possibility that my turbo...

    Uh Oh .. another 'lion' sighting in UK

    I only regret they didn't fund a stuffed lion somewhere. NY Daily News, from an AP report. It's hilarious. Check out the pictures. I'm surprised they didn't have a comment about the police making sure to not have their hands out in the open where they could get bitten off or something.

    Trash cans use' em!

    A classic example of marking your territory.

    Voting your conscious and your principles cannot possibly be a wasted vote.

    Uh Oh .. another 'lion' sighting in UK

    "You don't really expect to be told that a lion is wandering around the area," said Dave Sparks, who runs the Red Lion pub near where the animal was reportedly spotted. Landshark!

    Crazy battery question

    I'm glad to hear that you know it sounds stupid. But it's not necessarily a stupid question. It's a fascinating question. I am easily fascinated. It's more a question of ignorance than stupidity. While you can't fix stupid, you can certainly fix ignorant. So, let's take a closer look and see...

    Nitrogen; An Extra-Income Opportunity for Expediters

    Very true. Over the life of a set of tires, the oxidation damage to the tire or the rim (which damages the seal bead of the tire on the rim) is negligible. But it will have an effect after several years, with about 5 years being where degradation occurs, whether the tires are in-service and used...

    Hello from central TN

    Why do you think that will be OK? It's the one thing that everything else depends on, and it's the one thing that owners, new and aspiring fleet owners especially, fail to properly consider. The other biggie is finding and keeping good drivers in cargo vans, since the vast majority of van...

    Smilies

    I characterize them more like "taking flowers to your unicorn" pretty little smilies.

    Investing in a Laptop

    Yes, sort of. The only additional cost is for the Cube. For satellite TV, all you need is the dish and the receiver box, and they can be located at your home, or you can take them anywhere you like, same thing. Couple of points though. The VuCube works with any receiver box, but the...

    Investing in a Laptop

    I concur. I tried killing 2 birds with one stone, but it's like one size fits all clothing, they don't actually fit anybody. You can certainly stream video over the Internet, but you need a fast WiFi connection to do it, and most free WiFi isn't all that fast. You an use a 4G broadband...

    Multi-Carrier, Freight volume, and selling advertisements on your truck/van

    Those large, full sized billboards with prime placement generally run in the $700-$2500 range, per month. The ones in large cities can be considerably more. Billboards the size of cargo vans with prime placement run $125-$350 range. Non-prime placement, which is what a mobile expediter van would...

    Ron Paul won't speak at the RNC

    I didn't make this personal at all. I'm responding to what you typed. Period. As for you pointing out why you thought he was not, and should not speak at the convention, frankly that would indicate you didn't even read the OP, as it states quite plainly and succinctly why he won't be speaking...

    Ron Paul won't speak at the RNC

    In an uncontested convention every speaker is assumed to be supporting the one with the most delegates, so to ask Ron Paul to have his speech vetted by the campaign, and for him to support Romney, isn't exactly a watershed event. It's quite the norm. Just as is Paul not being willing to stray...

    What would you do? Makes me sick just thinking about it.

    I woke up one in the middle of the night and grabbed the wrong Gatorade bottle. It was dark, you know. Got as far as unscrewing the cap before I realized it wasn't the bottle I wanted to drink anything from. Disaster averted, but barely. I also once dropped a nearly full bottle of Gatorade...
