One of my favorite bits of trivia is, before he was Elvis Presley's manager, Col Tom Parker was elected Dog Catcher in Tampa in 1941.

Certainly at the national level. Local politics, mayors, dog catchers, county clerks, maybe not so much. But Congress and the White House? You betcha.

I may have missed it, but I don't think Trump Tweeted anything about him pardononing himself, so that aspect of it is still a little iffy in the Fake News department. Makes for a great headline, though, same as it did for Nixon, Clinton, Bush Jr and Obama, all of whom had articles written about...

Oh, I know. :D Super-narc - someone who knows they're a narcissist, and wants to be the best darned narcissist since, like, ever!

I'm at the TA in Sparks, NV. I arrived Thursday night and when I awoke on Friday I found a note on my Sprinter's windshield informing me that there is no overnight parking, and that if I'm still here in 24 hours I will be towed. The store manager is off until Monday, and the corporate offices in...

That's why seven days before leaving office Obama changed the order of succession at the DOJ, to stack the deck against Trump if Sessions recused himself. Obama removed Dana Boente, the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, from the line of succession, and instead put in the US...

Gotta replace "French" with "Spanish" though. :D

Yeah in a little box truck like that you'd just have access directly from the cab. You wouldn't need a DOT approved sleeper, unless as Chris noted, the GVRW is above 10,000 pounds.

Trump and Sessions know each other very well, and Sessions knows not to overreact to Trump's venting. I also think Sessions didn't need to recuse himself, but understand why he did. If he didn't, the press and the Dems would be leveling charges of conflict of interest and that Sessions was...

Very few sleep inside the box. It's not unheard of, but the cost (and insane hassles) to build a DOT approved sleeper inside the box makes it cheaper to just replace the cargo box with a smaller box and then put in a sleeper.

I've had one snap on me. It's not solid metal, per se, but rather sintered metal. Google will give you the process, but basically sintering is taking finely powered metals and fusing them together with pressure or heat, or often both, to the point where they do become one solid piece of metal...

The program I recommend is leasing on to a reputable expedite carrier. Finding loads, and maybe just as important, collecting the money for the loads, is literally what they do for a living.

I don't think Chris Cilliza or Jim Acosta watches CNN.

It's CFR 390.5 definitions First it states the weight rating, then it states the actual weight, and then it wraps it up by making it clear that whichever one of those is the greater number is the one to which the rule applies. You could have a GVWR of 9,990, but if you actually weigh 10,045...

They can, however, cite the driver for not having a log book and medical card, because if it weighs 10,001 pounds or more, regardless of what the weight rating is, it is a CMV. The regs make that very clear. Don't have to argue with anyone about it, all you have to do is read the regulation...

Mine are ubiquitous, just not very funny.

I do think it's important to get news from sources that I know are biased against my own views. The facts that match up between the several news sources can generally be regarded as accurate. I do think Reuters is one of the most neutral sources. NPR's news programs are centrist (On Point is...

I love funny typos. :D

I think I still would, although that is somewhat muddled now, and less the case, with cable and especially the Internet. Chomsky's definition (and it would have been mine if I had thought of it first) was born out of the days when the gathering and reporting of the news was a goal unto itself...

Don't want to confuse Fox News Channel with the news departments of the local Fox Broadcasting Network television affiliates. They are both owned by parent company 21st Century Fox, but Fox News Channel is under the Fox News Group subsidiary and the Fox television affiliates are under the Fox...
