Capital punishment is the command of God for several acts, most conspicuously premeditated murder. While there is some argument about many of the crimes/sins for which capital punishment was mandated for Israel (we don't stone people for adultery or blasphemy), what we know for sure is that the...

If the company won't sell us the drug want more, as Chris Rock says, stabbing a guy is free.

There's a bank next to the Sonic on Memorial Drive, across from Advance Auto Parts. In their back parking lot, there are a couple large trees in the back corner that provide serious shade, dawn til dusk. Didn't check for wifi. There's a Walmart just down the street, so the place is pretty...

I had a friend who, following a romantic liaison, became worried of what he might have been exposed to (he was a germ-aphobe to begin with) and sprayed his "junk" with Lysol. I'm not so sure that's acceptable, intended use, but he felt better about that than not doing it.

Sarah Palin is not a conservative. She is *socially* conservative, which I applaud, but that's as far as her conservatism goes. Overall, she's a neocon, a vile crossbreed between the mercantile policies of the tyrant Lincoln and the global interventionist policies of the equally horrid Woodrow...

It's too bad we don't have some recent history to show us what happens when a mildly-retarded, faux-conservative Texas governor is elected President... (/sarcasm)

Actually, Reagan talked the talk, but didn't walk the walk. History bears that out.

Ron Paul or Palin? With Palin being first? I don't know how you can make that leap. They aren't similar in viewpoint at all. Palin is a neocon with little substantive regard for individual rights (she has some regard for them, but not very deep or wide). She's nice to look at, but...

How about the type that's been mentioned here a few times--they drove big trucks before, but now that they're expediting, they get irate after going 12 hours without a load offer.

It has more to do with politics than poor parenting. Special interest groups pressure politicians at all levels to not teach phonics, indoctrinate students into the thinking of their perverted advocacy groups, etc. There is a lot of poor parenting out there, but largely because those parents...

For the lousy job they do, teachers shouldn't make any more than a babysitter. It's hard to keep a naturally inquisitive child dumb, but somehow they pull it off. They can't read, but they know about fisting and how to put a condom on a banana.

Actually, the corps takes and keeps many, many stupid people. Not that your son is, but I guarantee you he knows plenty of stupid marines. When I met my Air Force recruiter, he was on the phone with the marine or army recruiter. They called him because someone who scored 26 on the ASVAB wasn't...

And even with all those exceptions you just listed, they constitute such a minuscule percentage of public places, that any sensible person would still call it "everywhere." I knew there'd be one...

Well, if they're attacking us for a reason (and it isn't "They hate us for our freedom"), and you remove the reason... Now, beyond that, myself, I don't consider the Arabs stable eggnog to have nukes. But once you use that as a basis for making a foreign policy decision to prevent them from...

Do you check it under unusual circumstances? I was in St.Louis last week. Had a bid for a load going to Omaha. Fortunately, I didn't get it, because I remembered after hanging up that I-29 was closed in parts and I'd have to detour. I checked on the quoted miles, and they had quoted me and/or...

The most succinct explanation of our current problems was given by Lady Margaret Thatcher about 3 decades ago even she said, "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." That's what's happened.

Me, too. I hate the speed demons on ice. Snow is ok to drive on, but not ice. 70 is as fast as I'll go on ice.

Should be closer to 17 days than 17 years.

History shows the opposite to be true. Invading/occupying/oppressive forces usually control the cities, but usually can't control the countryside.

Actually, yes. That's what the old Liberator pistols were for, and related to the butterknife method. Liberator pistols were single shot, .45 pistols that were air dropped to resistance cells in WWII. They were made from sheet metal stampings, and were disposable. The idea was that a...
