Not a problem, OVM. No foul taken. I knew what I was doing when I posted it, which is why I did so without so much as a token :) There's an insanely great unbelievably politically incorrect joke that I may post here one of these days. It would really be pushing the envelope, tho. It covers the...

So your reply is, in effect, to call me stupid? Don't preach tolerance and sensitivity while exhibiting neither while doing it. Yes, of course it was insensitive. It's about as politically INcorrect as you can get. It's also a joke, and if you can get by the insensitivity of it all, it's a...

New story in the local paper about it. The city tries to justify it with emergency and protective services, except they fail to mention the fact that there's no tax increase on gas in Mount Vernon. I love the part of the justification where they say that, in the last two year alone, the police...

"Cheri, there is no such thing as a stupid race" Obviously, you've never seen the Special Olympics.

"Not Beat but Whipped over 2 to 1 in popular votes." Obama won the popular vote by 2 to 1? Really? Please tell me that you don't actually believe that. "And delegates." Delegates? Delegates to what? In a general election? Ah, OK. That explains the whole obtuse "2 to 1 margin" thing, 'cause...

Gun owners fear tough new laws; One shop criticized for 'Obama sale' When 10-year-old Austin Smith heard Barack Obama had been elected president, he had one question: "Does this mean I won't get a new gun for Christmas?" That brought his mother, the camouflage-clad Rachel Smith, to Bob...

You know, what with pirates and rough seas and salt air and killer whales and demonic jellyfish and everything, you should probably take that "toddler" reference off the Web page. I mean, people call Children's Services when they see a parent smack the butt of a 3 year old throwing a temper...

Well, that's what you get for looking at the pretty pictures instead of actually reading the article, and following the links. This ain't Playboy, ya know. :D Wiki link, Wiki link, Wiki link. Just click it. Go ahead, you know you want to. Historical rankings of United States Presidents -...

This proposal is very, very very, real. It's mostly being sugar-coated in the mainstream media, but Teresa Ghilarducci is a real person and her testimony as reported at the link above is accurate. It also reflects her thoughts and ideas in a book she wrote back in May. I seriously doubt that her...

There's a shortage of both. Freight is down, but the ratio of straight trucks to cargo vans is still lower than it should be. Any medium to large carrier would happily swap 10-20% of its cargo vans for a like-number of straight trucks in a heartbeat.

LOL No. In people, almost always men, they turn blue, or that's the old wife's tale (and isn't that an ironic twist of a phrase) . With turtles, it's green. Now, if yours turn green, yeah, you'll owe Fleming a great big thank you. :D

LOL Except that condoms are effective, like, 97% of the time, whereas our government is effective only 3% of the time.

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 Representatives, 4 years as ambassador to Russia, 10 years in the Senate, 4 years as Secretary of State, and 4 years as Ambassador to...

I don't understand why they're one-way trips.

Public Speaking :) Uhm, if you think about that for even a few seconds, you'll realize how silly that sounds. Sure, every time property rights are eroded, freedom is also eroded, that much is true. But to state that "all human freedom begins with property rights," well, that's just, I'm...

I think the point was that House nor the Senate does much of anything, and even over the course of two years 129 items up for vote seems like an awful lot. That's nearly 65 a year, more than 5 a month, more than one a week. But so far this year, in the Senate alone, they have had more than 230...

I have difficulty with a few of them. Djibouti is a tough one (and my favorite name for a country). I could pronounce the Ivory Coast real easy, until they changed the name to the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire.

Ever heard it? That's all I do. No one else hears it, apparently, cause it ain't happenin'. That, or they're just too slow and by the time they get here I'm gone. These two little doohickeys here are turnin' blue. Well, green, anyway. :D

Well, I call him a Socialist because he is, and his record proves that he his, not to mention he admits that he is. How many times does he have to mention the "redistribution of wealth" before you believe him, since that's exactly what Socialism is? Socialism can work in this country, just as...

I don't think I could get passed the embarrassment of a freight claim simply because I failed to properly do my job. I mean, when you get right down to it, this is a pretty easy gig. You show up on time, secure the freight, arrive at the delivery on time without breaking any laws, and hand over...
