    Obama

    Well, I'm not all that impressed, either, as Washington is full of lawyers and former lawyers without much brains. But I do love good irony.

    Endless obama when the 22nd is repealed

    Do you really think Serrano put out this bill so we could have endless Obama? Did you have the same 'endless Bush' outrage when Serrano introduced an identical bill in 2003 (HR 11) or again later that same year with HR 25, which garnered bipartisan sponsorship from six other Representatives? Or...

    Obama

    In any case, it wasn't Obama that messed up the Oath of Office, it was the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who had one job to do today, and he choked, while administering the Oath to a former Constitution Law professor. Ya gotta love the irony in that.

    U.N. court rules U.S. execution violated treaty

    Yeah, in this case, you should. Or at least to not so quickly and easily dismiss it merely for being connected with the UN and the ICJ. The ruling has many implications that could come back to bite the US in the butt. These are complicated cases, involving many issues, but the basic treaty...

    Flying J coupons

    At the Service Centers, at the sit-down restaurants, at the E-Store, and for WiFi. Oh, and the Flying J motels (there's 3 or 4 different names of 'em).

    Heart Attack Help?

    Chances are, if you're having a heart attack, you won't have anywhere near the blood circulation required for deep breathing, much less "Cough CPR" (which is a real procedure, but should only be used under supervision in controlled situations, and only in certain kinds of cardiac conditions)...

    Computers handle payroll already. They don't care how much people make, they just process the numbers. It's all 1's and 0's to the computer.

    Hey Anti Union Folks...

    Nope, sorry, not in a forced union shop. Collective Bargaining is a fancy phrase for collusion. If I were able to work there without joining the union, and then negotiate my own wages, either above or below the collectively bargained rate, that would be capitalism. But a forced union shop...

    power source

    Yeah, I've head of Yandina combiners. Seem 'em. They're designed primarily for house boats that have an alternator that generally puts out slightly more than 15 volts, which is needed for traditional wet batteries (like the Tojans that you have to add water to). They allow you to quickly...

    I have a dream

    Is there such a thing as non-fornicating adulterer? Adultery is the voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and someone who is not their spouse. Voluntary is the key word. OK, knowing that... One day The Lord came to Adam to pass on some news. "I've got some good news and some...

    I have a dream

    My birth certificate has a raised seal on it. I do have at the house the "original" that my mom got at the hospital, the one that has my cute little footprints on it. It doesn't have a raised seal, tho. :) Slavery is something we are all descended from in one way or another Looking at it...

    Who would you want?

    "I disagree, the point was NOT slavery but economics. Had the South freed that slaves prior to firing on Fort Sumpter they most likey would have won." Well, yeah, it was about economics, but the South's economic existence was inexorably tied to slavery. They give up slavery, they give up any...

    I have a dream

    My point is, until Obama, anyone with any black in them at all has been considered black, especially by whites. Now, all of a sudden, we're all, like, enlightened and splittin' hairs. "Oh, he's not realllllly black, he's half black." Yeah, right. And this birth certificate thing is getting...

    Express-1 losing Ford Account

    The trucks at First Class are all owner/operators, same as at E-1. Uhm, from the press release... "They use the same operating system and the same model of owner operators as ours, so we foresee a very smooth transition." - Jeffy Curry, President of Express-1

    Who would you want?

    Man, you really ARE old, huh! :D Depends. While all of the States closely guarded their States Rights, it was the South who pounded the hardest, and did so expressly for the purpose of retaining slavery. Using States Rights was merely the legal loophole they were trying to wrangle slavery...

    E-Track Accessories

    They come in real handy for securing barrels that aren't banded down to the skid. I have a couple of heavy duty ratchet lashing straps - no fitting on one end, it just loops around and goes back into the ratchet, they're made for lashing logs, actually. Each one is long enough to loop around...

    Who would you want?

    Why are you still so fixated on this "experience" thing, when history has proved that experience in the Oval Office means exactly squat? Suppose you had to choose between two Presidential candidates. Candidate #1 had 6 years in the Pennsylvania state legislature, 10 years in the U.S. House of...

    A Comdata card is like a debit card. Comdata is a financial processor that offers "trust enabled" payment transactions. You have an account at Comdata the same as you would at a bank. Comchecks issued are like cashier's checks or money orders, in that they are the same as cash. The Comdata card...
