    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    Yeah, I do. There are certain things the carrier is required to do by the DOT for all drivers who drive vehicles that are leased to them, for all vehicles that move under their authority, whether those drivers are CDL holders or not. A DOT physical is not one of them unless you have a CDL, but...

    Thune-backed bill would gut constitutional rights

    Yeah, but calling John McCain something he isn't is just wrong. If you're going to call him a North Vietnamese POW, you might as well call him a North Vietnamese pilot because he was a pilot in North Vietnam, and while yer at it you can call him Jennifer Lopez, and you'd be just as correct on...

    The American dream is alive and well- Barack Obama

    "ANY wimp can live where it is WARM, it takes GUTS, STAMINA and BRAINS to survive in the cold!!" Even taking into account that living conditions are equally well in Michigan (cold) and Miami (hot), without having the extreme problems that can be found in the extreme environments of above the...

    Thune-backed bill would gut constitutional rights

    No, I didn't. McCain wasn't a North Vietnamese POW anymore than the Americans held in Japanese POW camps where Japanese POWs or the Americans held in German gulags were German POWs. They were American POWs, or during WWII were often called the more generic Allied POWs, regardless of where they...

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    A minor point in the context of your reply, especially with regard to state regulations, but the above is not entirely accurate. When you lease on to a carrier you are literally transferring the right to possession and/or use of goods or equipment (your truck) for a term in return for...

    Basically, if someone doesn't know what rooting the phone means, they have no business rooting their phone. :D root is the user name or account that by default has privileged control and access to all commands and files on a Linus or other Unix-like operating system. It is also referred to as...

    Fifteen Missouri counties have more voters than census population

    I was being funny, but there's usually a point behind my humor. In this case, edit the post, use the delete key on a couple dozen "--------------------------------", and you're good to go. All those "--------------------------------"s that separate the two quoted sections are seen by the...

    Thune-backed bill would gut constitutional rights

    What's most appalling to me is that the author of the piece thinks John McCain is North Vietnamese.

    Yet Another Case of Voter Intimidation

    The ladies nailed it. Even in casual conversation, the position of power is always there. By the very nature of expressing an opinion, the purpose of expressing it is to influence the thinking of others. Can't be helped. It's fundamental. When you're in a position of power over someone, the...

    Yes, all three candidates, plus in addition to the handbill was an included a campaign flier for Jim Renacci. There was nothing generic about it. It was very specific.

    There are people who actually believed, and still believe, that getting everyone in the pot will make their own health care insurance premiums and other health care costs cheaper. I know it sounds like I'm making it up, but I'm not. Seriously, they actually believe that. The same legislation...

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    Rather than do the easy thing, I challenge AMonger to flood us with examples of where cops did their jobs without violating the Bill of Rights, and since there are far more instances of that happening, it shouldn't take more than a few minutes. On the other hand, if you spend a lot of time...
