I've read several pages of the book. Not the entire thing, but enough. It's not a bad book, and it's relatively well written considering it's in the context of a Blog or daily journal. A real (established) publisher wouldn't touch it without massive rewrites, tho. The problem with it is the...

Of course it is. One is a euphemism for the other. Torture sounds really bad and is objectionable, but enhanced interrogation sounds happy and pretty and not at all objectionable, but they're the same thing. Such euphemisms are used all the time, most often by liberals, but by anyone, really...

I have an Oregon Aero 2" Portable Seat Cushion and the Full Back Cushion (which comes with the lumbar support). Hands down, no question about it, the best money I've spent for anything in the Sprinter. There are a few others here who have the same cushions. Hopefully they'll chime in with their...

Ironically, Christina Reber is a clinical secretary at the very same Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie where the victim was taken for treatment. Couple of questions.... when the guy was "innocently" sitting at his computer, he was wearing a shirt, because it was covered in blood when he was...

Chinese food.

Losing everything in the truck is bad, and one should be prepared for it. But after you've lost everything you own -- everything -- in an apartment fire, including your car when the building collapsed on it, losing everything in a truck fire takes on a slightly different perspective.

Great, except that each thread is a different track. This thread is the track of Obama's eligibility. There are other tracks for the election and what's going on.

Huh? What? Uhm, wait. Huh? I thought we were talking about Obama's eligibility, not his electability. Now I'm confused.

He won't be on the ticket because he's a heretic. :D The Heresies of Chris Christie - Conor Friedersdorf - Politics - The Atlantic

Exactly. For some reason people work so hard at manufacturing stuff to hate Obama for, when a much simpler thing to do is just look at his deeds and actions.

That's simply not true. That only comes into play if you are born outside the United States. Both of your parents could be foreign nationals and had never set foot in the US until moments before you were born here, and you'd still be a natural born citizen. That's why some people want so badly...

Selling hot CBs out of the trunk of his car, wasn't it?

Using this time to get some repairs done on the van. The Limp Home Mode issue turned out to be a split intercooler hose (that big one on top). The somewhat stiff steering turned out to be a failing power steering pump that's not circulating the fluid with very much pressure at all. Ordered a...

Yes, except once was relevant and of possible interest to the members. His quickly-deleted threads and posts he made in blatant attempts to advertise the book is more the context in which I was speaking.

You detect correct. #2, 4 and 5 are what set off your detector. The FMCSA regulates Commercial Motor Vehicles, not merely "commercial vehicles" (which would include plumber's, electrician's and floral delivery vans). The FMCSA regulates heavy trucks and buses, and other vehicles which present a...

He's got an entire thread dedicated to advertising his book. Not many get that kind of a break.

No experience with the P20. I use the Blue Parrot. It's tried and true. Half the truckers walking around inside the truck stops have the Blue Parrots on. There's a reason for that. I think there are probably one or two out there that are just as good (long talk time, awesome noise cancellation)...

Re: Four Indiana dumocrats charged with voter fraud from 2008 election I've merged this with Leo's thread, since they are about the same thing.

It's nepotism when the favoritism granted to family or close friends is done without regard to merit. If they are competent and qualified to do the job, then it's not really nepotism. People tend to hire others they know and trust, and can boss around. Happens all the time.
