He's right, now's not the time to jump in. Stick with the steady paycheck. Expediting is a growing segment, but it's tied even more closely to the economy than regular trucking is. While regular trucking can deliver the freight cheaper, they cannot provide the kinds of services that expedited...

Gates, nor Obama, is looking to eliminate our military power. Gates isn't looking to cut military spending, he's not asking for less money, he's merely looking to spend it more wisely, or, as he says, "The nation should stop pouring billions into futuristic, super-expensive F-22 jet fighters ...

I read his first post. I actually read it 3 or 4 times because it was largely incomprehensible due to the bizarre spelling and grammar errors, but I didn't view it as a drive-by at all. Not even close. He did mention one carrier, but not in a disparaging manner. The post was about the industry...

That's the biggest problem right there, where the emphasis of the bill and of too many people are on the end-to-end and server access security, but in large part, it is even more fundamental than that. It's in the basic peering infrastructure that determines routes for data packets, and thus...

My two all-time favorites: When snow melts, where does the white go? I bought some powdered water, but I don't know what to add.

I need a new drug.

If you don't quite smoking you're gonna die. If you quite smoking, well, you're still gonna die, but you won't have spent as much along the way.

I have a map of the United States. Actual size. It says, "Scale: 1 mile = 1 mile." I spent last summer folding it. People ask me where I live, and I say, "E6". Steven Wright just kills me. Some friends of mine got me a sweater for my birthday. I'd have preferred a moaner or a...

That's the problem with trying to legislate solutions to the Internet. You have to legislate technologies very specifically, but by the time they're in place, they're obsolete. This Bill tries to account for that, in the defining of broad powers and even broader definitions of what is and is not...

The bill, even the questionable parts, would be fine if it weren't for two things. One, it will be abused, absolutely. Two, there is a serious security problem with the Internet and its infrastructure, and it needs to be fixed, but when was the last time the government's involvement in the...

Same thing.

While the president has no business getting involved in the personnel rosters of corporations, by the same token GM could have turned the money down. The term "dictated" is a little skewed, I think. GM could use a dictator, though, at least for a while. Someone who can cut through all the red...

No, actually they're not. Those laws deal with having everyone on the same page so as to know what everyone else is doing and is expected to do, in order to promotes the smooth, safe flow of traffic. You go from distracted driving to, uhm, speeding laws and then try to equate them somehow with...

It has been amended a couple of times for various reasons, and precedents in the courts have narrowed (or broadened, depending on your point of view) the way is it applied, of course, but for the most part, it's to prevent someone, like the local sheriff, from commandeering the military for law...

People have crashed while looking at a particularly hot babe walking down the sidewalk. Do we ban particularly hot babes now? Not on my watch.

People need to do a little more research on the Posse Comitatus Act, I think.

"Ever heard of laws that are made to PREVENT DEATHS?" Yeah, we've all heard of them, and by and large they don't work when they are enacted to prevent stupidity. They're feel good laws that make people feel good then they're passed, but end up doing nothing. Banning the use of cell phones is...

It's Baseball Time in the Nations Capitol! Come see the Jim Bowden Memorial Outfield Collection, featuring Adam Dunn and a cast of thousands! (Reds fans will think that's really funny)

That cracks me up when it happens. Cracks me up even more when I fall for it. In Mobile, AL it'll take you off the Interstate, exit and turn right, then go around the block and come right back to where you were, and then get right back onto the Interstate in the same direction you were going...
