    Second Annual PPP TV News Trust Poll

    Fox and Friends, opinion and news. My point exactly. And the opinion is so interspersed with the news that it's almost impossible to differentiate the two. Fox and Friends is virtually all commentary, where any news that gets delivered is so delivered expressly for the purpose of commentating...

    Question about truck stop showers

    I would use my own towels, but there's no practical way to easily and quickly dry them afterwards, so they'd just become a breeding ground for mold, fungus and all manner of bacteria while they were slowly drying, or not, in the truck.

    Second Annual PPP TV News Trust Poll

    ABC, NBC, CBS, they all used to differentiate, clearly, news from opinion. None of them do anymore. No, they used to be like newspapers, but they aren't any more. Now they're glitzy and glossy where entertainment, news and commentary are all one in the same. Fundamental changes in the way...

    Second Annual PPP TV News Trust Poll

    "There is always been"? Seriously? I'm going to assume you meant, "There has always been political commentary passed off as news." But, no, not really, not even remotely like it is today, where commentary is passed off as news as a matter of course. There were television and radio broadcasts...

    can I get a Expediting job

    Newbs educating newbs. Gotta love that. Doesn't matter who's insurance you have, what matters to a carrier is under which authority you are running. If you have more than three-in-three, most carriers won't touch you regardless of who's insurance you have, because three-in-three is an...

    For you it's a pirate, for me it's more like... Bullwinkle says, "Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat." Zane says, "Watch me stick a machete down my pants."

    Second Annual PPP TV News Trust Poll

    The problem is, EVERY show they have consists of political commentary passed off as news. It's not news, and it can't be trusted. Most of the other networks are largely the same. They (all of them) have gotten so far away from the Five Ws of news reporting and honest, unbiased journalism it's...

    Weird things happen in Iowa

    Clearly, it provides context of his original comment, where the "on a national level" was understood, even though you didn't understand it, as in "The only thing Iowa accomplishes [on a national level] is deciding who gets funding to continue in the race." He was talking in the context of a...

    "There's a lot of status quo politicians out there. If you pick another status quo politician, nothing's going to change." You may or may not be surprised who said that, or when. I'll leave it to your imaginations. ;)

    Weird things happen in Iowa

    According to the establishment and the MSM, it matters a great deal. The establishment tries to raise the national importance of the state's caucuses, which have their own set of really bizarre problems, especially on the Democratic side, and the MSM feeds off it because it gives them something...

    What is the rule on living quarters separation?

    The only actual law concerning this is "A sleeper berth must not be installed in or on a semitrailer or a full trailer other than a house trailer." Other than that, living quarters and cargo area can be one in the same. Even a tractor trailer can haul freight in the cab or sleeper area of the...

    how shopping for van stuff ends in detainment>?

    Not really, but when you screw up in Post #7 and it gets corrected, including a detailed explanation of the problem, and then all that gets ignored and repeated 4 more times later in the same thread, yeah, there's a little bit of a burr there.
