    Work boots made in America?

    I think most of those are made in China. Last pair I had was Timberlands. I got them right around 1999 or 2000, and they were made in China.

    Is this it for Ron Paul?

    More of the pedant in me, ending a sentence with a preposition, more so than the who/whom thing, actually. While the who/whom thing is a real deal grammar thing and it does make a difference despite normal conversational language rarely seeing the difference, the prepositional ending is mostly a...

And you have to read deep into the article to see that (A) most other congressional members do the exact same thing, and (B) Paul's books were the only ones to...

    Work boots made in America?

    I've delivered to the factory in Red Wing, MN. Seemed to be making a lot of boots there. Far as I know, their Irish Setter, Vasque, and Worx branded (by Red Wing) shoes are made in China, but most of their other shoes (like the Heritage) are still made here.

    Hands on loads

    I've gone months and months without touching a single piece of freight, and then have 7 loads in a row that are all hand load or hand unload. Sometimes it's a single box or an envelope, sometimes it's 1600 pounds of 25 pound boxes. Usually the appropriate additional pay comes with it, but not...
