C'est la vie

The author waxes poetic about how the phrase lets you express a stern — even rude — opinion, but not really, and then to make his point, he uses historical examples that are neither stern nor rude. The author is an idiot. I'm just sayin. And calling the article "great", well, that's subjective.

"Well, let's see. We're broke. We have two options. One, cut spending, cut the budgets a little, maybe pay public workers a little less, maybe a few less benefits, or option two, spend $300 million on an incinerator. The second options seems to clearly be the way to go. It's easier, and we'll...

I do find it interesting that, while there are certainly a few exceptions on both ends, most of the people who tend to cause the most problems in The Soapbox aren't even expediters. I also find it interesting that, over the years, those who cause the most trouble tend to have biting, witty words...

Thanks for the insult. I appreciate it. All empires fall. All of them. Ours will, too. (2) prevent embarrassment to a person, organization, or agency; Doesn't mention preventing embarrassment to a nation. :D First off, one already does understand who the indefinite personal pronoun "he" refers...

It's a stretch, perhaps, but the lot became unsafe because he was kicked out of it after being allowed to park there until 6AM. If you can no longer park where you currently are, you've got no choice but to move to the nearest safe spot. Sure beats towing a perfectly working truck from and then...

If you are out of hours and sitting in a truck stop parking lot, and for some reason the lot becomes unsafe and you can no longer park there, you can move the truck to a safe place. He could have sat there, let his clock run out, get unloaded, and then since there was no safe place to park after...

Customers will tell you anything to get you to haul stuff cheaper for them. ;)

Yeah, most people don't distinguish between cover types. Only those, like me, who are looking for something more specific do, I guess. The shell/holster combo provides a lot of protection, looks good and feels good in the hand. But I'm just looking for a little more rugged protection. I know...

Sorry, I should have been more, or perhaps less, specific. Clearer, regardless, in any case (pun intended), since most people naturally consider cover and case being interchangeable. It'll work with some of the holsters/covers, but not the (rigid, hard shell) cases. I was being literal with...

We have a very fragile empire, as most empires naturally are. Embarrassing items could, in fact, damage national security. Mogadishu isn't classified, but the fact that he worked there might be. And the US controlling the Iraqi intelligence budget might be embarrassing for both Iraq and the US...

Most of the stores do not have them. A few still do, and if so, you'll find them at 50% off, $24.99 instead of $49.99. But, you can go to the Verizon Website, making sure you are not logged in, and when you add the $49.99 battery to your cart, it'll show up in the cart as half off. Free 2-day...

Yeah, the trainer should have called his wife if it was that important. Can you imagine if everyone called home after every hit?

Yes, that's it. And that's why most vanners fail at expediting, because for most of them, the money really isn't worth being gone and living in a van for weeks at a time. Those who think they can get a van and make easy money quickly find out the money isn't that much, and it ain't all that...

Shift work, in and of itself, doesn't kill, and isn't the problem. Those who work first or second shifts don't have the same problems as those who work third shift. It's the third shift workers who tend to have the most problems, and the shorter lifespan if they work third shift for most of...

About $25,000, give or take.

Today our president said every soldier in Iraq is coming home. That means The War Is Over. Yay! Except it's not. Getting humans out of there is great, but the fact is war today doesn't need humans at all. Our neat-keen-supercool-and-groovy drones mean the Iraq war is never over. The...

Sure. And they are. It's like the Boston Tea Party. The agenda was tea and taxes, but that's not what it was about. There were countless other protest back then, many with wildly varying agendas, but they and the Boston Tea Party were really about the frustrations of liberty lost, of lost hope...

No, I've been watching the news.
