    The general mood

    No, that one was mainly me and Amonger having an honest debate on differences of philosophy. :) The thread in question can be found here: http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/soapbox/41281-you-little-racist.html

    Your Sprinter Sleeper

    Thanks. There are just a snotload of short wheelbase vans in expediting that have no hope of hauling three skids. Even most the long wheelbase vans can't haul three skids. All you need is the ability to haul 48x48x48 twice, and then maybe an extra foot up front for securement and for the...

    Insurance Companies purchase of Police Radar guns.

    Michigan, the State Police, anyway, was part of a major study about posted speed limits. New Jersey was also a part of it, and did their own independent study, as well. Other states were involved. I read a couple of in-depth reports of the study that mostly dealt with something called the...

    The general mood

    Or at least come back and admit to it when he's proven wrong. Called me laughable and took other stabs at trying to discredit me rather than deal with the subject at hand, said my logic was lame and ill conceived, accused me of having no credibility and not educated in the science of the subject...

    Fuel consumption is roughly the same for both gas and diesel Espar heaters. It all depends on how cold it is, and at what level the heater spends most of it's time. For 8 hours, half a gallon, probably. Even less if the van is well insulated. Airtronic D2 Heat Level - Gal/hr Boost - .07...

    Re: Sprinter and the backyard mechanic

    I haven't verified it because I don't use that oil and thus don't care, but I have heard from 4 different people now that Pep Boys carries Mobil 229.51 oil. In any event if not, there's a place in Columbus, OH, drop by or order online... AV Lubricants 4161 Venture Place Groveport, Ohio...

    Who is Vera Baker?

    Depends on which Dan Rather you are talking about. There were three Dan Rathers. The Young Dan who was a good reporter and who's only interest was in getting the story and then getting the story out. Then, there was the Middle-Aged Dan who got seduced by the fame that came with being a good...

    Who is Vera Baker?

    I know what you mean. A few minutes here and there are about all I can handle. I don't watch him very often at all. Seems there's always something else on the Dish that's more interesting and engaging, like Married with Children or Home Shopping. There ya go - ratings. Ever since large...

    Who is Vera Baker?

    In a 2010 Forbes interview, Glenn Beck frankly states, "I could give a flying crap about the political process, we're an entertainment company." That much is almost certainly true.

    Insurance Companies purchase of Police Radar guns.

    Conflict of interest? Not hardly. It is in the best interest of vehicle insurance companies to not have to insure unsafe drivers. Drivers who exceed the speed limit are a greater risk, and therefore should have to pay higher premiums for their coverage. In addition, having more radar units out...

    Who is Vera Baker?

    The National Enquirer, the Drudge Report, and Glen Beck all have about the same track record on the truth.

    Become an Expediter, See the Country

    If someone wants to use the business of expediting as a means to the end of seeing the country, I think that's fine. Saying "business first, play later," that assumes business isn't play. I got into expediting because I like to drive and see the country, and expediting allows me to do that...

    Obama "I am a Muslim"

    A link to that video has only been posted here on EO about half a dozen times. Yawn. But let's say he didn't misspeak and isn't taken out of context... OK, now what? What's wrong with being a Muslim?

    Should Puerto Rico gain statehood?

    Not to put too fine a point on it, but using the term "criminal alien" the way you do reeks of ignorance. For one, immigration law is civil, not criminal, so when someone comes here illegally they are not even breaking a law (except now in Arizona, of course, which is why it's such a big deal...

    May Day protests coming this weekend

    Comparative government and comparative living conditions? That's scary. In a country world famous for their tyranny where the people aren't allowed to say anything against the government, a guy defiantly stared down a column of tanks in Tiananmen Square, and even he wasn't deported. Obama tries...

    Should Puerto Rico gain statehood?

    Sure it's appropriate, if they want it. Right now they have most of the benefits without the hassles, though, so I'm not sure why they would.

    May Day protests coming this weekend

    I don't know about a Spin-Meister Merit Badge, but I know when I read the above statement my first thought was, "Holy crap!!! Just what lesson is a legal citizen suppose to learn after being deported for exercising their constitutionally protected right in protesting their own government?"...

    Illegal isn't always illegal... yeah... right

    Not sure. Some other thread, maybe. I generally try to stay within the thread without yanking stuff in from other threads. Not much good happens when ya do that.
