    Canada Dear Canada

    THAT WAS HER?!?!?!?!? I yelled at the TV when that happened, though iirc, it was in rehearsals. It was longer ago than 2-3 years, too. Not a Bowie fan, myself, but I'm pretty sure you should be reasonably familiar with him if you're a musician. Reminds me of the time my dispatcher didn't...

    Canada Dear Canada

    It's been a long time since I've been to the GWN, so maybe it's changed. When you go through the border into Windsor up the main drag, do they still have on the left side of the street that gorgeous, delicious looking sign with a huge beer on it? Man, I wanted to stop there every time.

    Sure didn't take hizzoner long

    Daley, who should be called something else with a D and an A in it, announced what is being called the toughest handgun law in the nation. Principal outrages are that a resident of Chicago would only be allowed one gun in working order at any one time, and that you would be arrested for taking...

    I must dispute. Generally, the argument given from the mandatory-seat belt and various other gummint-is-my-daddy crowd is that medical bills have a tendency to be of a massive, grinding, ongoing nature. I still disagree that that gives them the right to tell me what to do when I haven't asked...

    Canada Dear Canada

    Being that this is Canada Day, it seems only fitting that we Yanks take a moment to thank you for the many wonderful things that you've given us, and possibly spend another moment reviewing the not-so-wonderful things you send us. After all, how else will you know what to send more of and what...

    Here's one: It's my life and I elect not to.

    I've asked no one to be responsible for my medical bills. If society elects to bear them, without my consent, then they've elected the increased risks that go with it. It would be like me taking out life insurance on you without your knowledge or consent, and then forcing you to exercise 3...

    Flying J's Expediters showers for vans and sprinters

    Sometimes, you just gotta shake your head. With the restaurant downgrade and then possible elimination of the expediter shower system ahead, they may just be eliminating any reason to ever patronize them. Can't think of what reason would be left... I guess they still have TV lounges, if...

    NUGENT: The Declaration of Defiance

    Unfortunately, the Nuge was a big backer of Bush the Dimmer, whose own antipathy toward freedom and the Bill of Rights made Clinton look like a libertarian. It's apparently ok when "our guy" is in charge.

    barry sayes, "I won’t secure border"

    As much as I detest him, I guess I have to defend him here. Article 3, section 3 of the Constitution says, "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort." If we expand the definition of treason...

    Deer Are Pests

    I remember going down I-26 in the Carolinas, and approached a grassy area along with a couple other rigs. As soon as our headlights hit this grassy area, we saw a huge herd of deer, grazing. More importantly, they saw us, and scattered in 16 different directions, leaving the illumination of...

    Diagnosing AC problem

    Ok, did that. Don't understand the connection between them and how putting the hammer down has caused it to work normally over the last couple days.

    Diagnosing AC problem

    Here's another twist I can't figure out. Yesterday, I had to stomp on the accelerator while merging. After that, the AC worked fine and has worked fine ever since. I don't know what to make of that. Any ideas why that would be?

    "Touchdown Jesus" Burns....

    And what you've stated, no matter how wrong, doesn't prevent me from practicing my religion, so it's A-OK. Believe me, as a preterist, I've experienced more than my share of doctrinal opposition by other Christians. But all their criticism, no matter how incorrect they are, doesn't keep me...

    "Touchdown Jesus" Burns....

    We certainly have the right to discuss what is right and wrong, and about this or that doctrine. Tolerance is about not forcibly putting a stop to it. That I criticize doesn't prevent them or anyone else from practicing their religion. (sic) Freedom of speech is American, too.

    "Touchdown Jesus" Burns....

    My personal faith isn't challenged by it in the least. Now, John Calvin and Matthew Henry, I can respect. But in reading your post, I kept waiting for the point to emerge, but I wasn't expecting it to be my point. You quoted Calvin as saying that it's wrong to suppose that the commandment...

    Hey, if they rebuild it, maybe they should call it Extra Point Jesus!
