    Trash from Japan Tsunami arrives in USA

    The models are pretty to look at, but they're generally pretty stupid. :D

    The Real Newt Gingrich

    Worms. Can. Open. You can't just go and ask a question like that here!!! This Soapbox is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions. Old Testament, real wrath of God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness...

    The Iranian Threat Evolves

    OK, I'll bite. What, exactly, is the ruling theocracy guided by? Why? That's there, not here. We're here, not there. Who's meddling in Central America? Ours, or Venezuela's, or Iran's? In any case, that's Central America, not here, and we're here, not there. Agreed, especially since it's...

    The Real Newt Gingrich

    Huh? The Establishment is wrong about many things. They are out of touch, inept and incompetent. Yet they are the ones who will instill and support the next nominee. That they don't like Newt is very bad for Newt. No, it's not like that at all. I had hoped that by now you would have at least...

    Some people are wowed by smoke and mirrors, to the point where they believe the illusion.

    Hoping the apple fell far from the tree

    What I'm saying is, human nature being predictable and constant, when people reply in a manner which indicates a certain position, even if it's in direct opposition to what they are saying, the way they respond is often the more accurate indicator of their true position. And it's not because I...

    The Real Newt Gingrich

    The problem with the Republican Establishment is that they are The Establishment, and voters want not-The-Establishment. That's why Obama got the nod over Hilary, because she was part of the Establishment, too. Turns out, of course, that Obama was borne out of and steeped deeply in The...

    Are You Enjoying Your Sprinter ?

    The Sprinter speedometer glitch is a problem with the computer. GPS units (and the Scangauge II) will show a more accurate speedometer reading. It's off on the Sprinter, but it'll be accurate if you use the 15" wheels. However, if you use the 15" wheels, the odometer will then be off. It will...

    The Real Newt Gingrich

    Gingrich the Newt is a very, very distant cousin of Kermit the Frog, and made his television debut with Kermit on Larry King Live, in a special Christmas broadcast on December 23, 1994. Hailing from the Georgia swamplands, Gingrich is Speaker of the Swamp. He claims that swamp politics is...

    The Real Newt Gingrich

    People who whine about earmarks don't understand earmarks. Taking that money "back to Texas" is a very good way to put it, since that money was taken from Texans by the federal government in the first place. Earmarked money is money that has already been allocated and will be spent by someone...

    Hoping the apple fell far from the tree

    It's because every time someone expresses serious doubts about Ron Paul, they express it in a manner that suggests they are scared of him. If there is, in fact, nothing in the past, nor are there any present indicators that would signal Paul has even a remote chance of winning any primary...

    The Iranian Threat Evolves

    MSNBC? The MSM tag was in use (1992) before MSBNC ever existed (1996). It came about with the advent of the "alternative media" of Internet Blogs, initially due to the assertions of (often extremist) wacko Bloggers that their Web sites contained the "real truth" which the "mainstream media"...

    The Iranian Threat Evolves

    Uhm, they're developing nuclear weapons because we are unable to mind our own business. Well of course it's going to continue. We don't even know how to not mind other people's business at this point.

    December Banter and Location

    All one has to do is a thorough cost analysis over 3 or 5 years, including time messin' with it (filing gas tank or propane) and they'll see the Espar heater becomes hands down the most cost effective way to heat a truck or van. ::Waving back to Scott, but having to do so from Chattanoogie...

    Pearl Harbor Vets disrespected by Hawaii 5-0 crew

    They were rude. Why? Because they were even there at all? Because they failed to stop what they were doing and participate in a ceremony they were not involved in? If that's the case, then the permission to be there absolutely changes that. If you want to point at rude, then, you must point at...

    Pearl Harbor Vets disrespected by Hawaii 5-0 crew

    See? You keep trying to put this on the film crew, and leave the retired Marine Colonel, who was in charge of the cemetery and set it all up, completely out of it.

    Pearl Harbor Vets disrespected by Hawaii 5-0 crew

    So you would stop, salute, and give up all the run pay. Got it. My point is, the 5-0 crew was not part of the ceremony, the director of the cemetery is the one who set both events up, and the 5-0 crew can't stop to be a part of the ceremony because then their own schedule would be ruined. Even...

    Made in America

    There are lots of reasons. Congress giving tax breaks to corporations who move their operations overseas, unions pricing themselves out of the world market, cheaper and better made goods from overseas. Lots of reasons. Didn't watch the video. Too many script and flash permissions required.
