I'm pretty sure there's a happy medium here. It's reasonable and prudent to have some documentation to back up your log, but that doesn't mean it's prudent or required to help incriminate yourself by volunteering all your paperwork. No, the burden is not on the driver from the get-go to prove...

Hey, that's nothing. I was a volunteer safety patrol/first aid guy at a Septemberfest event. This old lady who plays Keno there every day couldn't find her car. We put her in the golf cart and drove her around to find it. After we had searched everywhere but the last lot, she says, "Oh, no...

That's what had me baffled, too. Why give him that? What possible reason would you have for giving it to him just because he wants it?

Hope you have plenty of money on hand. The long-awaited release of these funds will trigger substantial price inflation.

I knew someone would seize upon my terminology. When I say argue, I don't mean an adversarial argument. I mean to discuss, sometimes disagreeing, to arrive at the truth. You start with disparate views, but then work it out, getting closer and closer. And while this guy was an instructor, he...

Did you have to repost those? They were bad enough the first time.

I don't know if this is merely semantics or what, but when I say something to the effect of "You/he (the cop) work/s for me," I'm not speaking in a monetary sense, in that, since tax money pays his salary, he works for me in the same sense as a Walmart employee works for Walmart. When I say it...

Addressed below. Kidding no one. For it to be a liberal label, that would imply that it's coined and used by one relatively liberal perjoratively against someone relatively conservative. This wasn't the case. I heard the term used by someone far more conservative than Bush, who wasn't...

This isn't a normal case. This entire case is because the leaked material humiliated the US gummint, and the gummint will do anything to hammer anybody they feel is responsible. There was a political cartoon just after the leaks went public. It showed a US diplomat getting off a plane, being...

Why'd you have to post that? I can't un-see it, you know. I mean, the text--ok, but the pictures? Ok, so he's a sodomite. And looking at his FB page, it appears that not only should he have not had a clearance, he shouldn't have been allowed to know anyone who had a clearance. Nevertheless...

Oh, yeah, unfortunately. The ones who would have defended Bush had he raped a nun on the White House lawn, yes. The ones that can't identify any wrong ever done by a cop, soldier, or firefighter. The ones who think that Lee Greenwood song is good. The ones who think opposing a war of any...

I tried to tell 'em... Uh, D-12?

It's true that most Lt. Cols. don't advance beyond that. Kind of like Master Sergeant in the NCO rank; it's where most top-out. Yet, Lieutenants and Captains are junior officers. Majors and Lt. Cols. and above are senior officers. If a meeting were called for senior officers, the majors and...

I don't know how you can call that man a child molester. He has a problem, definitely, but if he's got it under control.... Sure, you'd want to keep an eye on him and not let him get into a situation in which he might slip, but I don't think you could call him a molester. After all, a...

Yeah, but she was a senior officer there. You'd have to say she was a leader of armed men, if only indirectly. Of course, there they treat mere majors like airmen and privates, but nevertheless, even there, a Lt. Col is a senior officer.

You are correct that Lincoln bears a huge amount of guilt for where we find ourselves, with weak states and a Leviathan federal government, the opposite of what our Founding Fathers intended, but it actually started earlier than that. The Whiskey Rebellion and the Alien and Sedition Acts were...

No, didn't win any medals for heroism myself. But he did. And it was his military service that brought him to the conclusion that war is a racket. If you google that term, you'll find a lot of information about him. That he, through his military service, figured out that all is not as it...

Well, let's see...Col. Kwiatkowski was stationed in the Pentagon, so I suppose you could say she lead people who carried them, and I respect her. Calvin Coolidge was the Commander-In-Chief, and he was our last good president; I respect his memory. Aside from that, I respect peace officers, as...

Your sig line shows that you understand, too.

Served in the military, with security clearances like Manning's. So yes, I do understand the military. Like Smedley Butler, a bona fide war hero, medal of honor awardee, and more medals than chest, maybe it's my military service that has brought me to what I believe. When I was in, the...
