    bin Laden is a live and well and working at a 7-11 in Dearborn. He sold me a Big Gulp just yesterday.

    I've still got my c550. I got it the day it it the stores, so I paid considerably more than the $170 refurbished unit, that's for sure. But it works very well. Not perfect, but no mapping tool is. Like I said the differences in Tom Tom and Garmin are largely one of personal preferences, mainly...

    Hillary Does Mexico

    We've had a lot of diplomats with little or no diplomatic experience who has performed well. We've also had some very experienced diplomats drop the ball on several occasions. In any case, it's a little too early to say that she has proved to be ineffective, though. If anything, her...

    It's a little unfair to bring dumb blond jokes into the equation since they aren't generally mean spirited - they're just silly for the most part. The jokes that point out the difference between men and women, those are different, and usually spot-on funny. A successful man is one who makes...

    Really good quotes

    "The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public...

    Hillary Does Mexico

    Yes, I do. I also know that the Secretary of State has portfolio by default of the position. She's not a senator with no diplomatic portfolio, as by definition she is no longer a senator. Diplomatic portfolio is hardly the same as a diplomatic experience. In the role of a diplomat, or any head...

    The Russians have been laughing at us for centuries. As for understanding professional diplomacy, I don't. Never been a professional diplomat.

    "World-wide" and "all over the world" mean the same thing, dood. And neither mean the same as the "whole wide world", which I never said, either. In any case, if it's just your opinion and you cannot give a link for it, then, please, tell us (us, being the whole wide world) on what you base...

    The male bashing isn't even a white thing, it's across the board. Although, in some cases it is, like with this Stapes commercial where the white guy runs out of toner and flips out, just goes nuts, while the black guy and the white woman just looks at him. Black dood points to the Stapes...

    The really cheap Garmins don't come with Canada maps. But, it was just a couple of years ago that about half the Garmins had the full North America maps and the other half you had to pay extra for it. Now it's just a very small number of units that don't come fully loaded, but it's something to...

    Gps units

    Garmin has the best routing and most accurate maps for North America, and Tom Tom is the leader in Europe. The difference between Garmin and Tom Tom, however, is largely personal preference, as they are both very good on either continent. All of the other brands of GPS units are trying to catch...

    Yeah, herons do eat turtles. And snakes. Birds are pretty ruthless when it comes to a meal. They don't care. I don't know a lot about a lot of snakes, but I do know about the ones near home and what kind I'm likely to run into. We live out on 122 acres with a pond that's about an acre and lots...

    Yeah, easy targets, but this is a serious thing. There are many differences between men and women, and many of them are really funny, right up until you get editorial comments as to why, as they are most often mean-spirited against the man. The same exact jokes and belittling of men, if applied...

    Why is it that most men vs women jokes are jokes that bash the man? Even when the jokes doesn't bash the man, there's got to be a tag line that bashes him, like the cotton balls and string, it's one that doesn't bash the man or the woman, until the tag line of "I figure this guy is the one on...

    Did you even read the article? The border initiatives, the requiring of a passport or equivalent beginning June 1, has already been delayed twice for a total of 18 months. Obama has got nothing to do with this. Many people were hoping that Obama would relax the border security standards, but...
