The implication is crystal clear, unless you choose not to see it. Tax cuts "paid for" is a perversion of reason. Not only does it say that ours is only what the gummint chooses to let us keep, but those that say it apparently believe that it's normal or acceptable for DC to first decide...

I still have yet to be denied a 1/2 shower credit or earned shower when using a Flying J. Hasn't happened once yet.

I once had a young nubile dispatcher ask me if I could make it to the switch point at Lasalle-Peru by a certain time. I told her I would only be at the Quad Cities by then. "What's the quad cities?" was her reply. I think she might have been 17. Heard another dispatcher story. A driver had...

Ok, sure, put 2 or 3 low-everything items on the menu. The rest of us would like to taste our food, so don't overdo it. Upgrade the white gravy. Cracker Barrel's sawmill gravy is the best. Use ONLY high quality broccoli. Forget those tiny pieces of stalk. Steam it and make sure there's...

...and yet, a few years ago, a white student who was born in South Africa was disqualified from a school competition for an award for African-American students, in favor of black students who have never been to Africa in their lives. He was probably the only African-American in the whole...

This creates a false impression. Reagan inherited an obscene tax rate. He spent years chopping away at it, largely over the objection of Congressional Demon-crats. Obama inherited a relatively low tax rate and wants to raise it. It's disingenuous to imply that he was a bigger tax-er than the...

All that in 48"?

You know, I keep hearing this, but I never see any actual legal backing for it. Slaves have no rights; they have responsibilities and privileges. Americans don't have privileges; we have rights.

Again, that's common sense, and that's not relevant when dealing with bureaucrats, regulations, cops, etc.

Sarah Palin is indeed powerful. She's co-opted the Tea Parties, from their libertarian/Paulian origins to backers of big government, as long as it's GOP-led government. That's power.

Netbooks and notebooks are fading fast. I wouldn't bother with one now. Tablet computing is the future. If you can wait a little while, advances in tablet computers will make them attractive, and netbook and notebook prices should plummet until they're no longer made anymore. They're going...

I'm not ruling out a phone-based system. But we'll be signing on with multiple companies, so we don't want an actual Qualcomm or People net or whatever they're called.

We won't be signing on with any carrier that uses a Qualcomm or similar, so that won't be a problem. We're looking for smaller companies that conduct business by phone. I used to be with one of the big boys who used a QC. The day went by without a load offer, and I was near Chicago at the...

Well, we didn't ask anything. We were entering into an arrangement with a guy we had worked with in the past, so we essentially knew the deal. I don't know what my fleet owner asked, other than rates and such. But I'm the one doing the asking now, asking around other carriers, then taking the...

Of those who have tried these, have you thought of putting them vertically on the left and right sides of the windshield? Maybe one set horizontally where they suggest and another vertically on the sides, bust the slush twice! Has anyone tried those heated strips that heat your wipers? Wonder...

Having been a CV driver for such a short time, I'm looking for questions to ask a recruiter of same before signing on. Mightn't they be a bit different from questions one asks a big truck recruiter? Don't want to forget anything.

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT!!!!!! Let's see...popcorn, beer, nachos, program to tell the post-ers apart, net connection ok. Ok, everybody, let 'er rip! This should be good. Turtle seems to have a handle on this issue, so once he posts, the fur should be flying soon afterward.

More horrifyingly, some canine thefts are for the purpose of using them as kill-training for fighting dogs. Stealing them to have them shredded by a monster. Someone tried to steal my little dog out of our backyard one night. Good thing she yelped when they grabbed her and they took off.

Not so necessary in a CV, no, but there are some factors that affect whether a place is good for parking or not. (1) Cops--some will roust you, like I got rousted in NY a couple weeks ago; 2) whether somewhere is safe; 3) what facilities are available and their quality; 4) whether wifi is...

I heard .77, but I've never heard .70. Anybody who runs for .70 had better have a second income stream or be independently wealthy.
