Nothing worse than getting a prostate exam, then the doctor leaves the room and the nurse comes in and asks, "Who was that?"

If you haven't seen this, I highly recommend it. For most it'll be a real eye-opener. Sharyl Attkisson gives the history of the concept of "fake news" and who started it, who funded it, and what it really is. Most may remember how it was seemingly all of a sudden everywhere in the news. Well...

Well, since we don't know anything about the fire, clearly it was started by a foreigner who was offended by the flag.

Lancashire County, in NW England, actually. At first blush the name might look Arabic or something, but it and its variants (Heslam, Haselam, Haselan) come from the Old English reference to someone who lived "by the hazels" in the area where hazel trees are native to England.

I once was dispatched to an apartment in downtown Chicago. The maid answered the door and handed me a shoe box containing one pair of golf shoes. I expedited the shoes to Augusta National Golf Course and delivered them to the Pro Shop, where the owner of said shoes had a tee time for the next...

Well, the original Flying J logo was designed as a tribute to military jets, as well as the founder's own love of flying. The company was founded by O. Jay Call in 1968 when he had grown to 4 locations and he developed the truck stop chain concept. From the earliest beginning, Call prioritized...

Not true at all. I replied to what was posted, without even paying attention to who posted it. Who posted it is irrelevant. I have no idea what "two potshots" you are talking about, but apparently they got a little too close to the guilty mark, otherwise you'd have no reason whatsoever to take...

Team straight truck is where you'll make some money.

In Journalism World, this is really bad. But they don't care. https://thefederalist.com/2018/05/28/media-double-down-after-new-york-times-gets-busted-peddling-fake-news/

No need for personal jabs. All I did was challenge you and others to look for actual evidence to support an unsubstantiated claim, and to employ a little critical thinking before believing outrageous claims at face value. Do you really and truly think PFJ would risk its entire business to...

Yeah, because that's what PFJ wants - to discourage Americans from stopping at their locations. The fact is, not a single thing about the hoax rings true, or even rings as plausible. Even if PFJ wasn't one of the more patriotic companies in America, which they are, they are very well aware that...

There's a controversy only within the realm of people who believe internet hoaxes at face value and never bother do do any research on the matter. The driver posted it on the internet, and of course as we all know, NOBODY lies on the internet! Gas stations and restaurants are frequent targets...

I've seen a few of their vans here and there, but I really don't know anything about them. Sorry I can't give any information on them, other than I don't recall hearing anything negative about them.

Uhm...

Then you misunderstood my point by exactly 180 degrees

There were no particularly strong gun laws back then, other than the law against the general public having access to automatic weapons. Those have been outlawed since 1935 with only a few exceptions that were addressed in 1986. Back then, guns were treated as a right that wasn't to be infringed...

Did you not get the point I made about treating the symptom instead of the underlying cause. Banning guns is nothing more than handing out boxes of Kleenex. If you ban guns, then poison gas and knives and homemade bombs will become the new "too easy." We protect our citizens by first beginning...

When you have a runny nose, you blow your nose and use nasal spray or antihistamines to dry it up. But the underlying condition that caused the runny nose remains untreated. People calling for more gun control, or increasingly, gun confiscation, are doing the exact same thing, leaving the...

Came home for a few weeks and promptly picked up some kind of flu bug or something. Fever, sore throat, coughing up Elmer's glue, the whole bit. Now after 3 weeks I'm coming out of it. In the meantime, my stepdad decided to buy a house half a block away (we've been renting a house for a paltry...
