    Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, The Tooth Fairy...

    In the dog-eat-dog world of freight, expedited or otherwise, "colleague" is a fantasy. Unless my colleagues start stepping up and paying my bills, no, I'm not really concerned about them.

    Fedex Backhaul Primer

    I saw a Swift driver the other day at a TA who spent nearly 45 minutes backhauling into a parking space.

    Barack Obama Elementary School

    This really was the idea of the kids, not the teachers or some board member for political grandstanding, so at least that's neat. The kids got all into this thing when one of the debates took place at Hofstra, just a few blocks from the elementary school. It's being touted as a great lesson in...

    Time to take action...

    I care about the freight, and I think they should be bailed out. But they should be bailed out with strict conditions. Conditions like contracts will have to be torn up and thrown away. Contracts with upper management would be torn up and they would be paid something other than just stoopid...

    Time to take action...

    Flying in on personal jets with tin cup in hand should have gotten them the door at the top of the Capitol Hill steps slammed in their face. The jets are the perfect illustration of just how far away they are from making real, concrete changes to how they do business, and a bailout loan will do...

    How Obama Got Elected

    "I'm sure Slick Willie would make room on his staff for another personal assistant." If you worded that, that way, on purpose, then that's just brilliant. If it was an accident, well, it's still brilliant. My, oh, my.

    Addiction, Oil that is.

    Someone needs to figure out a way to charge people for fuel based on the MPG they get. If you get good fuel mileage, you get fuel cheap, if your vehicle gets bad fuel mileage, you pay through the nose. Been saying that since the 70's. No one listened to me then, either.

    water to hydrogen fuel saver

    You cannot get more energy out of something than you put into it, which is what the proponents of this technology claim. You may very well get better mileage, but it doesn't come free, or even cheap. There's always a tradeoff. On the most simplistic of levels, there's a heat tradeoff in the...

    How Obama Got Elected

    "Obama voters get their information from the biased mainstream media, while the McCain voters get their info from other sources." That's the real issue, though, and to state that is pure conjecture, unless a poll is taken to find out, which Ziegler won't do (or rather, won't pay to do). There...

    Dear Mr Obama

    What's the problem? There aren't enough hard drives in the EO RAID to hold a proper response to that. But for starters, she's advocating the preemptive strike for the castration of all potential child molesters, which includes you, me, and everyone else with the physical attributes that would...

    Dear Mr Obama

    You've got to read it to believe it. After you've read it, you still won't believe it. All over the place on the issues, sometimes contradictory, mostly (unintentionally) funny. This is from the blog of a divorced mother, 41 years old. Originally from Canada, now a US citizen. I'm tempted to...

    How Obama Got Elected

    The thing is, this poll does in fact meet the criteria for a push poll, not so much in the questions themselves, but the mere fact that only Obama voters were questioned. A theory about the knowledge of Obama voters, as well as a theory about the media bias, was formed, and the poll was designed...

    Meeting EO People

    Well, it was nice to meet those I met, and especially to talk with Dave. Had a great time. I was wearing a gray sweatshirt, said Grand Canyon on it, and had on my Cincinnati Bengals hat, cause, you know, the Bengals are great again this year and I have to support them. Yeah, I didn't know...

    How to impress a customer...

    I know that guy. Well, have run across his path on three occasions (and I vividly remember all three). Unless something has changed, there are at least two more cats back in there somewhere.
