    Independents’ vote vital to state’s House race

    "Could this stuff become another kudzu or multi-flora rose problem? That could be fun for the farmers." This stuff in particular? No. It's a cultivated crop. That's like asking if corn or cotton could become another kudzu problem. However, it's close relatives, which are not cultivated and are...

    Obama supports mosque... SURPRISE

    Again, not really a religious freedom issue. While religion is often a reason, it's not the sole reason for war and mass murder. I had relatives who died on the Trail of Tears, so I well know those issues, and almost none of them involved religious extremism.

    Obama supports mosque... SURPRISE

    President Andrew Jackson, and the southern states who wanted the land then occupied by Native Americans, mostly. Not really a religious freedom issue, tho.

    Obama supports mosque... SURPRISE

    Not just debris, but the landing gear of one of the planes crashed down through the roof, destroying three floors. But, no legitimate argument? The only argument against it is purely an emotional one that smacks of Islamophobia, which is about as illegitimate as you can get. If the YMCA wanted...

    Obama whines ALOT!

    I don't dispute that at all. The fact that some of the people who did not vote for Obama have created a brand new state of the art in whining excellence is in no way meant to be a slight to the the accomplished whinings of those who did vote for him.

    GM IPO seen as victory for Obama on auto bailout

    The problem with them, and the rest of the auto industry going belly up is, there's nothing to take its place, and it would likely ruin the country. Too much history of shipping manufacturing jobs overseas ensured that. It might make a point, and it might make you feel good in they were to go...

    Anybody have a map of Ground Zero that shows exactly how far out from Ground Zero the "sacred ground" extends?

    Obama whines ALOT!

    Obama is an amateur whiner compared to some of the people who didn't vote for him.

    What the NYC Mosque Iman whats and desires for the world...

    Well, it's the extremists who want to implement it "peacefully or not". Most Muslims, believe it or not, would rather implement it peacefully. But it's very true that all Muslims would much prefer the government and the religion to be one in the same. That's precisely what it says in the Qur'an...

    down time

    We do mainly "Oh, shoot!" freight. (Which is a very cleaned up term.) A piece of machinery breaks, "Oh, shoot! We need to get a replacement part, now! Call an expediter!!!" Someone walks through a warehouse and spies a skid of freight sitting there and says, "Oh, shoot! That should have gone...

    Make No Religion?

    The president, this one and others, have given many speeches at many venues, religious and otherwise, where signage and symbols were not covered up. Signage and symbols are not covered up, even at religious universities, when the president gives a Commencement address, for example. Or...

    What the NYC Mosque Iman whats and desires for the world...

    Don't be silly. Of course it matters. Questions and answers will always be skewed or even tailored to the audience. In this case it comes from hadielislam.com, an Arabic language Islamic guidance Web site (they have an English language version of the Web site, but I've read that the two versions...

    Allot of DH !!!!!

    I just don't understand why more emergency freight can't come from closer to where I'm sitting. I mean, it's emergency freight. If it's that big a deal, the shipper should be closer to me in the first place.

    Make No Religion?

    Because if left uncovered and in plain sight in the background, the Crucifixes would then be a message in and of itself. It would be an implicit statement that Obama, and by extension his administration and the government, is endorsing Catholicism. But, it wasn't crucifixes, tho. The White...

    This Valedictorian See's Through Her Public Education for what it is..

    I dunno. It's a well written essay (albeit about 3 times longer than it should be for a graduation speech), but the content of it, some of the references, and her clear uneasiness with it's delivery, are strong indications that it was written for her. She's clearly not an experiences or...
