No, I know it's not racist. But it is a perfect example of thinking different. You thinking just "just fine" doesn't necessarily mean that you're right and everyone else is wrong. It likely means you don't much like change, tho. The world is what you make it, and it's now theirs to make, for the...

There is a shortage of drivers now, and there has been for a long time now. Ever listen to trucker radio? All you hear on there driver wanted ads (and GCF ads). Ask pretty much any fleet owner how easy it is to find good, qualified drivers with a clean MVR and a clean drug test. And one that...

Do you think we all have 24-inch monitors on our laptops or something? Also, a picture of a Shell fuel stop showing zero trucks there is kind of meaningless, really. Would have been much better to post the link to the judge's ruling itself (not that anyone here cares much about it). You have...

The old pastor, and Obama well knows that the whole world was watching yesterday. If you are racist especially, and zero in on that last paragraph (as so many Web sites have done), and if you try to view it within the narrow scope (I love a good pun) of this country's racist past and in Lowery's...

Cloud computing is at an early stage, with a motley crew of providers large and small delivering a snotload of cloud-based services, from full-blown applications to storage services to spam filtering. Utility-style infrastructure providers are part of the mix, but so are Saas (software as a...

One big question is whether the adoration and hope can be sustained, or will patience wane when the American people, and those around the world, don't see the immediate results? One of the problems with Obama as a cult of personality isn't that he'll become the next Stalin or Hitler or Marcos...

I'm pretty sure the the right reverend's inspiration for the last paragraph of his benediction was inspired by these lyrics: "If you're white, you're all right. If you're brown, stick around. But if you're black, oh, brother -- Get back! Get Back! Get back!" William (Big Bill)...

Yeah, there's definitely a certain aura of personality cult surrounding Obama. Then again, the same was true about Kennedy, and Reagan and Clinton. A cult of personality in a totalitarian regime, a dictatorship, as with Hitler, Stalin, is a far different thing than it is in a US democracy with...

That same quote rang a bell here, too, Cheri. In a very real sense, shzt stirring is exactly what I do here, too, except that I try to do it without attacking anyone personally, or offending anyone (tho I know that's impossible to do). But I find it hard to believe that one could actually offend...

Because the first time I saw "Between B10 and B20" on a pump (it was either at that TA or the Pilot on 255 just east and a little south of Pontoon Beach), I asked which it was. (At one place it said B20 and the other it had the range listed.) Turns out it can be anywhere between B2 and B20 when...

Just a note to Sprinter drivers. Be very careful about biodiesel. The latest advisory from Daimler for Sprinters is B5 (for 06's and earlier, not sure about the 07's and later). But the way the standards are for commercial biodiesel (ASTM D 975 for regular, ASTM D 9751 for biodiesel) makes it so...

Go to the site and copy the URL from there. :)

If it's your own thoughts and words, and you can intelligently (instead of emotionally) support them, yeah.

"January 20th, 2009. A day that will live in infamy." I do think that's hilarious, tho.

The term "racketeering" was coined in 1927 by the Employers' Association of Chicago in a statement regarding the influence of organized crime in the Teamsters Union. That's fitting. Extortion is one thing that organized crime is very good at. Extortion, or exaction, is when an individual or a...

I do tend to reply to what was posted, rather than to who posted it, but after a while familiarity takes its natural toll. One reads a pattern in what someone posts, both in the cut-n-pasted articles, as well as in collateral comments in those and other threads, and one can make logical...

That's pretty funny, but in actuality most of the headlines about this inauguration are more like: The AP: Obama hosting pricey party in a dicey economy or The New York Daily News: Obama's inauguration is most expensive ever at $160 million In years past, the reported figure has been that of...

Huh? You JUST got through saying, "Yes I did have a fit when it was brought to face when bush was in office..." and NOW you say you didn't care. You didn't care, but had a fit, anyway? Or are you just ranting and raving nonsensical just for the Hеll of it?

Well, being in the hands of the judiciary committee isn't really noteworthy, since that's where every single one of the term limit bills have to go first. So far, none have made it out of the committee. A bill to remove the presidential term limits gets introduced and is sent to the judiciary...

Yeah, it's that simple. But there are consequences to such an action, and instead of talkin' tuff and beatin' yer chest, you have to logically and intelligently consider the ramifications. Do you really want the US to not have a seat on the UN Security Council? To let Russia, China, France, and...
