One wonders if Breitbart knows what happened when Ronald Reagan was called to testify for the HUAC [House UnAmerican Activities Committee, chaired by McCarthy], when Reagan was president of the Screen Actors Guild: he sang like a canary, repeating every bit of gossip, innuendo, and tittle tattle...

I like honey in oatmeal, Lady Gray tea, and once in awhile, in plain yogurt. I finally found some Tupelo honey [after loving the Van Morrison song for decades, lol] that's excellent. It's almost gone now, and it's a seasonal thing, so I was wondering about where I'd get good honey now. Turtle...

Maybe the fender mirror on this Freightliner was made of "pot metal" too - it just fell off, driving through the J in Mt Vernon, Il. Course, it was full of the the most horrendous islands of choppy ice I've ever seen anywhere, and I felt like a rowboat in a hurricane, but still, you don't expect...

So any reporter who was covering Ferguson can claim experience in a war zone too?

Good grief: "It's difficult to get people to cooperate at a traffic light"? Where are you driving, on race tracks? Also: if 'co-op' smacks too much of collectivism, socialism, communism, et al, clearly no one told all the midwest farmers that - I don't think they'd be so willing to join all...

Having a CDL does not subject the driver of a cargo van to HOS, logs, or scales. If they are required to enter the scale, it's because the state requires it, and it will be posted: "All vehicles over 6000 lbs must enter scales". HOS and logs are also determined by the GVW: 26,001 is the...

If I got a text asking for my status, I think I'd be unable to resist responding with Epilepticus. Or maybe just Quo. Seriously, do they know what can happen if the driver they text is in a wreck while reading/replying to their texts? Because friends & family are often unaware that you're...

You realize that it's the "customer" who wants the info, right? I totally agree, dispatch shouldn't need to call for info, [and at Load 1, they don't], especially to ask where you are, because WTH good is a satellite if they have to ask? and unless you've indicated a possible delay, they should...

That's one way to bypass the profanity software, lol. Don't try it on facebook, though - Zuckerberg learned Mandarin Chinese last year. ;)

It depends on whether they are determined to be at fault - if so, they are fired. I know one driver who wrecked a truck, when dispatch called shortly after a pickup, asking for info on the BOL. Driver reached for it, taking eyes off road, then saw the truck heading towards the shoulder [the hand...

Those in the corporate world who value greater profit above loyalty and ethics are themselves stupid. [Affluent, but stupid.] If they don't keep their O/Os satisfied, they won't keep them at all. Maybe that works when they can find replacements easily enough, but it won't last forever, and even...

'S ok, I'm going to Alabama. And I'm going to really enjoy taking a shower & doing laundry, too, lol. But most of all, I'll enjoy getting out of the truck without putting on the snow boots, heavy coat, hat, scarf, and gloves, first. Freeeedom! :D

The first words out of [the interviewee] Bruce Jenkins' mouth raised my hackles: "we are a generation of lazy people" - really? Not the twenty-somethings I know! Especially not the one I raised, who works full time and goes to school, and has never expected anyone to 'give' her anything. Neither...

The weather boffins issued a wind chill advisory for tomorrow morning in Chicago of -20 to -30, and I am seriously sick of this snow, wind, and ice stuff. And that was before I stepped out of the truck at a dock in snow up to my knees! Cue the 'short people' jokes....:rolleyes:

I don't think it's a matter of paying attention, it's more like selective perception: anything that doesn't involve "unleashing our military might" [bet that caused a tingle or two!] it doesn't count as a plan. Because killing people and breaking stuff [like entire villages & cities] is all they...

"Raising rates to cover those that don't pay" is the rationale for pooling the fuel surcharge, too, lol. Funny, LOS didn't peep over being forced to pay for workers comp insurance, which is much worse than Obamacare. I've paid a lot into it, for others to benefit when they get hurt, but I've...

Flats East Bank developers want authority to raise taxes in district | cleveland.com Mayor Frank Jackson has vetoed it, but according to Councilman Joe Cimperman, it has been done in other cities. This sounds like a recipe for cronyism [the ability to use taxpayer funds to pay consultants...

I'm still concerned about the issue of unstable individuals who want maximum outrage [like the terrorists] and choose schools to prove it. The arming of some teachers & officials sounds good, until the first time one of them shoots an innocent, and then they'll all change their minds tout...

In Florence, Y'all, where there's about 3", and all I've been hearing all day is plows & sirens. Heading up to Mi tomorrow, hope the roads are ok.

For real, dude! "Obama said that Christians were the cause of most of the problems" [at the Prayer Breakfast]? Actually, at the Prayer Breakfast, they were - but that's not what he meant, I bet, lol. Obama "weakens our defenses"? Um, did he not just propose a 7% increase in the Defense budget...
