    Bachmann vs. The Caucus

    For the most part, yeah. Did you know that it's legal to own your own tank? Same with a bazooka, actually. Most are within the confines of local militia, like the State National Guards, and by extension by the people, but those are not federal unless called upon to be federalized during strict...

    I've got a Canon PowerShot S2 IS. The current semi-equivalent model is the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS. I got mine in '05. All the newer ones have more pixels, mine's a 5 MP camera. But Dollar for Dollar, it's a lot of camera for the buck, especially for a point-n-shoot, aleit an advanced...

    Bachmann vs. The Caucus

    You and I may disagree on a few things, but the absolute unrestricted constitutionality of gun ownership is not one of them. If it can be classified as "arms" then it is expressly permitted by the Constitution. That should include fully automatic machine guns, assault rifles, nail guns...

    Rock Snot

    Global Warming is the easy answer (even though the globe stopped warming in 1990 and has been cooling ever since, and that's why they call it Climate Change now, 'cause they got caught in a "whoops" moment, but I digress). The thing is, Rock Snot is a circumpolar species that lives in crystal...

    It appears that with the new units the map updates will change, where once you buy an update, you get free updates for the live of that unit. They recently did the same thing with the FM Traffic, where the annual $60 is now good for the life of that device. With Google Maps being updated daily...

    Bachmann vs. The Caucus

    "Why IS ACORN involved in the cencus? Why do they need to get GPS coordanates on every dweling?" They need it because once they finally outlaw individual sales of guns, they will instantly have the locations of every legal firearm in the country. It wouldn't be prudent to fictionalize the...

    Posts have been edited to reflect places, dates, and times. Most interesting (for me) is the time difference between Picture #2 and Picture #3 in the first post - about an hour. First pic was heading east out of Portland, second pic was well after Pendleton and Deadman's Pass at Cabbage...

    Nuvi 465T

    It was due to hit the shelves 3 or 4 days ago. Early reviews are good, but we won't see any hands on reviews for a week or two. Someone (in that gotruckstop.com thread) had one on order and should have gotten it by now.

    Andy Ruiney Visits a Flying J

    It's a big hot dog wrapped in pizza dough. Not bagel dough like it should be, but pizza dough. And it's not smoked sausage or kielbasa like it should be, but a hot dog. You wanna know what it tastes like? It tastes like a bland hot dog wrapped in bland pizza dough.

    You've got the battery powering the inverter, and you plug a trickle charger into the inverter to keep the batteries charged? "Question one: will the battery stay fully charged or will the drain from the inverter alone cause the battery to lose it's charge?" Well, even in the inverter were...
