    Ron Paul Leaps Past Bachmann in Latest Poll

    The subject matter was the result of an opinion poll, was it not? Both in the Subject Title and in the body of the quoted text. You gave one example of a poll, I gave another. I'm sorry if my dumping all over a thread in which you started (and therefore understandably take ownership of) hurt...

    Al-qaeda's no.2 killed

    Every time we kill the #2 man, the #3 man moves up a notch. There's a long list.

    new road atlas

    I've got an 05 Rand McNally Truckers Trucker's Atlas that I've opened up like 3 times. I use a Garmin GPS for 95% of everything, Streets & Trips for when I want a more Atlas-like overview of things, and Google Maps and Google Navigator. I also use PC Miler along with the others to check things...

    True scum at it worst

    Ask a question or make a comment in a public forum, and you are making it everyone's business by de facto soliciting their comments. Sometimes the question or comment is stupid, sometimes not, sometimes the responses are stupid, sometimes not. But in all cases, each is worth exactly one fat baby...

    Ron Paul Leaps Past Bachmann in Latest Poll

    As opinion polls by their very nature are frivolous inanities, and are meaningless except to those who attempt to attach some fictional importance to them, my comments are consistent with that theme. On the other hand, an off-topic sarcastic personal snipe about my newly acquired "status and...

    Satellite radio weather channel

    Seems a little extreme. Could have sold it on eBay instead. The weather radio portion has its own tuner, including an OFF selection. Turn the weather tuner OFF, and you get no alert tones. Leave the weather tuner ON but turn the CB OFF, the alerts will still come through. It's a feature. :D

    Don't be so modest. You are the Gold Standard when it comes to deadheading. :D

    TRUE OR fALSE?

    Sorry. My bad. Maybe this will help. 27. Cheese consumption in the United States is expected to grow by 50 percent between now and 2013. 28. Ancient humans from Asia may have entered the Americas following an ocean highway made of dense kelp. 29. Women gain weight when they move in with a...

    Vice or Virtue

    The Structured FSC at Panther went from .24 to .23 from last week to this week, so that doesn't explain the .02 difference at 22 cents versus 24 cents. Moot is on the 'variable' rate FSC, anyway, which Panther has been playing around with since the first of April. A penny or two here and there...

    TRUE OR fALSE?

    Yes, it is, especially when you consider that most of the item on that list are, in fact, false. There are a few that are true (average lifespan of a housefly is, indeed about a month), but the vast majority of these things are typical "Internet Truths" that aren't true. #17, Ostriches don't...

    Well, no, not really. What you are seeking is a really small external display monitor for the laptop.

    Fifty More Americans Arrested At White House

    Exactly. and not only that, they told the police at the time they got the permit they would do exactly as they did. They also asked the police what the result would be if they followed through with their plan, and the police told them the normal routine is to arrest them, let them pay a small...

    Fifty More Americans Arrested At White House

    I'm really not one to come back and justify what I post simply because others can't or won't do the research, or because they don't believe me, mainly because I don't make up stuff and try to pass it of as fact. Also because I'm often too lazy to take the time to go back and find it again. But...

    Fifty More Americans Arrested At White House

    It's about people's rights. BART's been in operation down there since long before cell phones, and they dealt with emergencies just fine without cell phones. And that's also BART's take on it. An emergency might have occurred, and it would have been handled just fine. But the humongous issue is...

    proof some people should not be allowed to have kids

    Several years ago a similar incident happened in New York. There was a pickup truck with the babysitter and a kid in the stroller in the bed of the truck. While they were driving down the street the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man stomped 'em.

    Fifty More Americans Arrested At White House

    The quote in the story doesn't say who told whom, it says, "We've been told now that they're doing it as a deterrent," spokesman Daniel Kessler said. The only people saying it's being done as a deterrent are the protesters. But even if the police did tell them that, well, duh. And it's not to...

    Pumpernickel does go bad

    It's a sad day indeed when a good pumpernickel goes bad. I can't help but wonder where I went wrong, what could I have done differently to prevent such a awful thing. We used to be so happy together, then, suddenly, it goes bad. How does that happen? I hang my head and cry.
