    Obama fails miserably

    My how time flies when you're an old fart. Seems like just the other day he was giving his acceptance speech in the park in Chicago. But he's really accomplished quite a lot in these past 200 days. I can only imagine what the next 1260 days will bring. He became the first president to fire the...

    Fake birth certificate part "new"

    A mountain of questions does not make it a legitimate issue if there is no legitimacy to it. You just said it yourself, it has not been proven that he is anything other than a natural born citizen, nor has it been proven that his birth certificate was forged, therefore there is no issue...

    Fake birth certificate part "new"

    And you believe that very detailed analysis? Why, because an unnamed retired CIA officer commissioned an unnamed investigator to look into it? Because it sounds official, even with the very un-investigator-like prose? Because you read it on the Internet, therefore it must be true? Because you...

    What would you do??

    I actually did visit the Midge Retirement Home back in the 80's. Great bunch of people. I love it when a little person gets all excited and their little T-Rex arms go all wild and stuff. I'll burn for that one.

    Panthers New Web Site

    That's because you almost certainly use the main pantherexpedite.com, but the Owner and Driver actually used to have completely separate login URL's so you could go directly to those pages and login. Web browsers would also save the login/pass for each, separately, rather than going to the main...

    What would you do??

    Ah, but what's derogatory about the Midget Retirement Home, in all caps, which denotes an actual place in Sarasota, Florida, founded by famed midget Anna N. "Nita" Krebs in 1949, born in 1905 in Czechoslovakia? I take my midgets very seriously. :D She's 4th from the right in the picture. She...

    Grasshopper? Puhleze. If you go back and look at some of my earliest posts, you'll see that I practically invented the quoted breakups (actually, the technique is a long-time Usenet method of breaking down exactly what you are replying to). It drives a few folks absolutely nuts. hehe As for me...

    What would you do??

    There aren't any positions to rethink. No one here, far as I can tell, has taken the position of condoning or excusing bad behavior. The fact that it is unacceptable and inexcusable is irrelevant to the fact that it will happen. So, the focus needs to be on how you deal with it, and how to...

    What would you do??

    Well, it may very well be a jack-*** thing to say, but it's the stone cold truth just the same. Sorry. Men are pigs, and no matter what you may believe, you're not going to change that, so like Dave said, it's probably better to focus on how you choose to react to it rather than trying to change...

    Panthers New Web Site

    There's really no excuse for changing things up to where existing bookmarks no longer work. None. I have other things to say about it, but I'll refrain.

    Panthers New Web Site

    Panther's new Web site was designed for customers, not drivers. The Owner and Drivers Webs have not changed.

    (Don't) be so Naive...

    I believe you can make good money expediting. I believe that the carrier's main priority is the drivers. I believe that Obama is the country's Saviour. I believe that an Ethiopian will one day win the Olympic Gold Medal for swimming in the 100 meter freestyle. I believe that redicilose...

    Men are what they are, that's the way it is. Whether you're wearing t shirts and tank tops, jeans, or capris, or even a burlap bag, men are gonna look. That's what we do. If you're that uncomfortable with it, then it's probably not best to hang out at places where there are a lot of men... like...

    Read this very carefully

    That's the key, passing it and getting control of it. Once they have control of it, they can do with it whatever they want. Universal healthcare is something so large that it requires overwhelming bipartisan support, and an overwhelming support by an overwhelming majority of the people. This...

    charging batteries, a finer detail

    The charging parameters of AGM batteries are critical to the life of the batteries. 14.2-14.4 for the bulk/absorption stages, and then 13.2-13.4 for the float. Three Stage Charging is different for regular lead acis batteries and AGM batteries, but for AGM batteries, in the Bulk Stage current...

    While not mandated, meaning you have to have it, it is nonetheless an acceptable form of ID at the border, at least according to the US Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection....

    Turnpike decides to roll out E-ZPass, new rates on Oct. 1

    Yup, yup, yup. I've got an I-Pass from Illinois. Never been dinged for overheight or overweight, and there's no monthly service fee for it. If you're in a cargo van or Sprinter, just get a regular I-pass instead of the Commercial version. There's a $10 refundable deposit, plus the initial $40...

    Sarah Palin's still the future...

    Don't be silly. In the speech where she quit, she said she wasn't a quitter. If she hadn't have quit, she would have quit being a quitter. She quit four different colleges, and at least four different jobs since then. She's not a quitter. She refuses to quit quitting. By quitting she reinforced...

    Hazmat Question?

    The FAST card is a 100% WHTI-compliant document (Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative) for returning to the United States by land or sea. The FAST card is one of the "Trusted Traveler Cards" (FAST, NEXUS, SENTRI) and replaces the passport for land and sea port entry (NEXUS card may be used for...
