    Letterman REALLY apologies for joke

    Based on the quotes right there in the article, yeah, I'll stand there right with him. My comments on this all along are consistent, as well as being consistent with the statements in the article, including where he said, "It's not your fault that it was misunderstood, it's my fault that it was...

    1st Chrysler plant restarted Today

    I think Obama will get much more respect around the world now that he's not just the President of the Unites States, but President of General Motors.

    What Was That You Said About Healthcare???

    They're hosted on Photobucket. I download them to my hard drive, then upload them to Photobucket. Then, to post them here, I get the "direct link" URL from Photobucket and enter that when I click on the "insert picture" icon here on the EO editor. It becomes a direct hotlink to Photobucket so...

    Michigan: 50 Miles of Gravel And Counting

    I found it. That's just one of those pesky questions that's been rattling around in my brain for a while now. The answer seems fine, but you'd think that if 600,000 metric tons of tire tread are worn off American vehicles every year, we'd see more evidence of it than merely "roadside debris"...

    Michigan: 50 Miles of Gravel And Counting

    Is that what happened to rubberized asphalt? It was the next big deal, then nothing. I never head what happened there. Seemed like a pretty good idea to me. On a side note, and I'm not trying to sound like Steven Wright, when we've got all these bazillions of tires rolling along the road, you...

    No, it's like, instead of putting just one slice on your plate at a time, and then having to walk back and forth from the living room to the kitchen each time you want another one, you just put 4 slices on your plate from the get go.

    What a difference a President makes

    Reserves are bulging and demand is down, but production is actually down. It's at about 89% right now, where it's normally in the 95% range. Refiners have cut back on purpose, and they'll tell you straight up it's because if they were above 90% they'd lose money, because the price would drop...

    Mini's and 1st outs

    That's what I meant, all the trucks should be shown, but you're right, without listing all the truck unit numbers, which isn't likely to happen, listing dwell time for each would probably be meaningless. Same here for the solo van dood.

    In order to shut down a business enterprise like a professional sports team because of the rioting of the fans, you would have to prove that the business had the power to control the third party fans, or prove the team was directly responsible for the actions of its fans, including the ones who...

    Michigan: 50 Miles of Gravel And Counting

    To save money, more than 20 Michigan counties have decided to turn deteriorating paved roads back to gravel. Montcalm County estimates that repaving a road costs more than $100,000 a mile. Grinding the same mile of road up and turning it into gravel costs $10,000. At least 50 miles of road have...

    One of the largest sports related riots ever was after one of Iran's World Cup qualifying matches in 2001 when more than 1000 people were arrested, more than 200 injured and unknown number of dead. A close second was one in 2007 when a soccer match in Italy resulted in the police commissioner...

    the tycoon, the quarterback and the comedian

    In southern Florida, at least where I lived for a couple of years in Ft Lauderdale, ducks are everywhere. As we were going through puberty, we got a special kick out of seeing which ducks were "getting" any. They had no feathers on their necks. :D

    To give up a first out in a van, we'd need $100 minimum, plus FSC, plus DH over 50 miles.

    I just hope no one gets into their car and drives into an 5F tornado when they get to Nebraska. They'll prefer the hurricane. :D
