Hey, I'm gonna run for president, but I'm gonna defend truth and honesty regardless. Yeah, that's hilarious. <snort>

That e-mail is also on Snopes for being purely fabricated (although two of the above, #3 and #4, are true). If you want accurate Darwin Awards data, use The Darwin Awards Website rather than reply on e-mailed sloppy seconds.

All I know is (other than understanding both the broad scope and the narrower legal usage definitions of hearsay) that if you ever have a legitimate problem of any kind at a TA, pick up the phone and call corporate, and it'll be worked out.

I'll go out on an even shorter limb and say it won't apply to anybody in a parking lot. :D In Minnesota and California it is illegal to have anything suckered to you windshield (GPS, XM radio, etc.), except for law enforcement and other first responders, where the law explicitly allows them to...

That's not really hearsay, as it cannot be determined as such without one follow-up question, namely, '"How did he find it out?" If it was directly from the security guard or manager, or from someone else who witnessed the trashing (or by viewing the surveillance video), it's not hearsay. As...

Fear and chaos is the new "plastics". It's all the rage thee days.

Putting aside Dale's request regarding name-calling, the above quote isn't the quote of a moron who doesn't have any real degree of understanding of the Constitution. For one, the quote above isn't the complete quote, and it's taken out of context. The complete quote, in context, suggests a...

Plan on it taking three days to properly insulate the van. Seriously. :D

A combination of foam boards, canned spray foam, and silver Reflectix bubble pack insulation works well. There are several threads over in Truck Talk about insulation.

Whether or not contraception should be used is purely a religious issue, and has no business being dictated by government at any level. The correct answer is government (local, state or federal) shouldn't be in people's bedrooms. The Constitution guarantees a right to privacy. Everything about...

Medieval (which is most common, or Mediaeval, either is correct) From Latin, medi (medium or middle) aevum (age). I remember it by medium evaluation. :D

The Heritage Foundation's points are very good points, and true, albeit motivated by politics rather than from a Constitutional perspective. The GOP certainly needs to handle this, but more importantly the Senate as a body needs to handle it. You've got the President deciding when the Senate is...

That happens a lot when you're over 50.

iPhone 4/4S Ballistic Hard Core Case I have a Motorola Droid Bionic, with an extended battery and the Otterbox case. I use it because it's gnarly. It's infinitely customizable, fast, dual processor, big screen, and it's 4G.

How many existentialists does it take to screw in a light bulb? Two. One to screw it in, and one to observe how the light bulb itself symbolizes a single incandescent beacon of subjective reality in a netherworld of endless absurdity reaching out towards a cosmos of nothingness. How many...

It's a very specific kind of chili dog. The Coney Island Dog refers to a natural casing beef hot dog, topped with an all-meat beanless chili (usually using beef heart), and diced or chopped white onions with one or two strips of yellow mustard, and should not to be confused with a generic Chili...

You're really hangin' tough on that "us versus them" thing, huh. :D This isn't a left v. right thing, it's a constitutional thing. The GOP was outraged, but didn't take advantage of Harry Reid's screwup when he first started the pro forma thing, because they realized they could do it, too...

It's not exactly what i was expecting. It's a silicone case that slips over the back of the Bionic, not all unlike the silicone cover that comes with the hard shell Otterbox case. No drop protection like the Otterbox gives you. I'm sticking with the Otterbox, with the new, larger extended...

Clearly, the assumption is that this is a flagrant violation of the Constitution because it's Obama who did it. But it is? It's ironic that is was the Senate Democrats (Harry Reid, actually) who invented the pro forma thing as a means of technically staying in session to thwart recess...
