    Mandatory drug testing

    Maybe, but it was a double-blind study and the participants all knew that (A) whatever the results of their tests would be it would have no impact on their benefits, and (B) test results weren't matched up to recipients, anyway. So even if they did fail, it didn't matter.

    Gassing up...and up and up and up

    It's true for the most part, and like all cults, it's a very religious-like thing, as all religions are cults. Interesting in that the word and concept of "cult" was first introduced sociological classification in 1932 by American sociologist Howard P. Becker as an expansion of German...

    SWAT team attacks over student loan default

    Clearly, there is more to this story than just a defaulted student loan. From the Department of Education's Office of the Inspector General, spokeswoman Gina Burress provided the following statement: "The Office of Inspector General does not engage in the collection of student loans. Our...

    Mandatory drug testing

    Dems are against it, but not all of them. Some Republicans are against it, too. Blanket drug testing in unconstitutional, and that's why some are against it. This will be challenged in court, and the law will be overturned, just like the 1999 law in Michigan was. The Michigan law tried to get...

    Gassing up...and up and up and up

    It's whatever they use in Germany. Section 10.6 in your Sprinter Bible gives the details. :D

    Watch OUT!!

    I'll save you some time. Quit looking. It ain't in there. :) It ain't in there because the job of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is to concern themselves with the safety of the public at large by ensuring the safe operation of heavy vehicles. The primary mission of the FMCSA...

    Report Coming..Pryor took $20 Grand

    "...receiving thousands of dollars in free food at local restaurants and convenience stores, free drinks at bars and free tattoos..." That kind of stuff goes on all the time in every college town. The stars of the team get more, but most times all you have to be is on the roster to get free...

    Gassing up...and up and up and up

    Sprinter has a 100 liter tank, or 26.42 gallons (I call it 26.5 gallons). The light comes on at allegedly 10.5 liters, or 2.77 gallons. Of course, the light coming on can be very dependent on whether your are going uphill or downhill, but generally I feel comfortable going another 50 miles when...

    Glenn Beck makes GBTV Official

    Having as many more people still subscribed and watching the show after one year, and having enough people still subscribed at that time to pay for the show and have it profitable. Watching him on Fox television is largely a passive activity, doesn't require much effort. Watching him online...

    Skirts

    Ladies.... if your shirt has more holes than material.. it is not professional attire, at least not for this profession. But that's OK. :D

    Wanna See Something Kewl?

    You've never seen this before. Oh, it's been imaged in artist's renderings, but never like this. It's an actual photograph taken from another spacecraft of the Space Shuttle docked to the International Space Station. This view of shuttle Endeavour, taken by Italian astronaut Paulo Nespoli...

    A warm welcome from Pilot - Fort Wayne, IN

    Expediter or expeditor, either is correct. Both -ER and -OR means "one who", and both are used with agent-nouns. Generally, the -ER is used to describe a person who performs a specific action, like singer, baker, employer, lawyer, speaker, miller, manager, photographer, reporter, farmer...

    Glenn Beck makes GBTV Official

    Glenn Beck is going digital. Make sure you read the Terms of Service very carefully before you sign up. <snort> My question is, do you think Glenn Beck will have enough of a following to be able to to charge $4.95 and make it a success?

    Find your own driver, make sure they can clear CSA and the carrier will accept them, like no moving violations, no felonies, etc.

    Weiner says.. wait, that WAS me!

    I would think that both parties would come out about equal, too. But rightly or wrongly, when conservatives get caught doing these things it's worse, because they actively preach against it on moral grounds. Well, as worded, (A) would be far worse, as expressing hypocritical moral outrage...

    Headlight Lens Rejuvenation

    I had to replace one of my headlamp assemblies. It was a stark difference between the new one and the old one. Enough of a difference that for a minute or two I thought about forking over another $250 to replace the old one, too. But I used a Lens Renewal kit, instead. I don't remember what it...
