    Buicks vs CMV's

    Hmmm...I do believe somebody has cut to the heart of the matter.

    Sneaking a lesbian onto the Supreme Court

    Somebody above made a good point in regard to this, namely, that homosexuality is, whether you're pro- or con, a deviant preference. And perhaps that someone who is a deviant might have rather heterodox views on the Constitution and rule of law. So that's the potential problem there. Well...

    two ideas for better cooling of the CV

    So what do you do to secure it from blowing away or being stolen? Does it wrap around the door posts and then you close the doors on it?

    Found a way to brighten it, but it's still pretty fuzzy. So still looking for a way to sharpen it.

    avatars

    My avatar is barely visible. Too dark. Anyone know a way someone who's never done anything with graphics can lighten it and maybe sharpen it? I know of photoshop, of course, but the tutorials I've read sound seriously complicated. I've searched for a built-in program in Windows but haven't...

    Ron Paul is a military man.

    Goodbye Obama, Hello Ron Paul

    I'm not familiar with everybody you listed, but Bachman, Gingrich, and Palin are RINO neocons, and iirc, so is Haley Barbour. In other words, no change.

    Good riddance to Justice Stevens

    Remember, conservative is a relative term. Those "conservatives" you mention, well, most of them anyway, are to the left of what we'd have called left just a few decades ago. JFK was to the right of people we consider on the right end of the spectrum today, yet, at the time, he was seen as a...

    Ideas, anyone?

    I have yet to haul a 55 gal drum, but I've been thinking about how I'd do it. Thing is, I don't have E-track; I just have the built-in securement that comes standard in a Chevy Express. So I was thinking of using 3 straps, each one hooked on one end, wrapped around the drum in the middle, and...

    Texas cops and trucks

    It's Wrong (capital W) for any government agent or employee to stop anyone, anytime, under any circumstances absent probable cause. No car, truck, boat, pedestrian, someone on horseback, etc. can be stopped without probable cause. Of course, it happens all the time and will continue. But...

    two ideas for better cooling of the CV

    Reflectex would be this? Reflectix Inc. | The World’s Largest Manufacturer of Reflective Insulation and Radiant Barrier Products Would that be easy to apply and remove? I talked to a guy whose van was shiny like that. He told me he could run the AC or heat just long enough to cool the inside...

    two ideas for better cooling of the CV

    Hmmm, really? The shower curtain is plasticized. I would think that'd be better.

    two ideas for better cooling of the CV

    I'm weighing two possible methods of isolating the front 1/3 of the van to make it easier to heat and cool. Anybody ever try a curtain rod with a heavy-duty shower curtain to isolate the front 1/3 of the van for A/C and heating purposes? I'm thinking one of those adjustable/expandable ones...

    the proliferation of criminals

    I find your first idea horrible, because with the miltarization of the police, there are now some very good reasons to run from the police, like that guy in Prince George's County, MD who was doing nothing more than celebrating a victory in a basketball game when he was attacked by several cops...

    Virgin Mobile - Broadband

    Cited text doesn't appear here, but actually terming your account for exceeding the limit is a bit ridiculous. It's like the death penalty for jaywalking. Why not just suspend your service or limit your speed after a certain point? They should just make it impossible or very inconvenient to...

    Virgin Mobile - Broadband

    Hmmm...this is kind of odd. It says nationwide coverage, but there's no coverage map. Clicking on coverage only allows you to check one zip code at a time. Something's fishy here, like maybe their coverage isn't what they want you to believe, or their definition of nationwide coverage isn't...

    Shame on them for stopping him without probable cause, yes.

    Texas cops and trucks

    Friend of mine drives a cube van. He was on his way to Texas, and I remarked that he seems to spend a lot of time down there. He drives the company-owned truck, so he gets a lot of miles, ifkwim&ityd. He said he was getting sick of it, and I asked why. He says EVERY time he's in Texas and he...
