It's a hoot to see quasi-conservatives flounder around wishing social conservatives would just go away. Real conservatism stands on two legs: economic conservatism and social conservatism. One who embraces only economic conservatism but eschews the social issues is actually a libertarian...

This is exactly why I carry a spare alternator in each of my vans. Experience has taught me the alternators on Ford vans(7.3L diesel) will burn out approximately every 120,000 miles. I go ahead and pull them at 110,000 and keep the pulled alternator as an emergency spare. Yes, you will have...

I can report my short career as a body-double for Lou Ferrigno has ended abruptly.

Boehner, McConnell, Cantor and like-minded cohorts are simply Big Government facilitators. The Republican leadership is constantly playing "Let's Make A Deal" with their Democratic counterparts. Dealmaking is not problemsolving. The big Debt Deal was a tip of the hat to political expediency...

Our federal government is so dysfunctional! The current debt ceiling agreement is a sham, through and through. Obama and the Dems promise relatively tiny budget cuts in later years in exchange for giving Obama an immediate $$$ Trillion increase of the nation's debt ceiling. The GOP has caved...

If you are a straight, white Christian male, happily married and a proud father with an intact family... you naturally feel a closer kinship with the GOP. I am not aware of even one bonafide conservative member of Congress who is affiliated with the Democrat Party. Over the last 30 years...

Probably the most effective and proactive measure to reduce deer strikes is to reduce driving speed betwen dusk and dawn. Dropping down to 55mph or even 60mph gives a driver more reaction time and a shorter stopping distance. Overdriving one's headlights at night is asking for trouble. Slow...

Michele Bachmann earned her law degree through Oral Roberts University. Hardcore evangelical? Perhaps.

Seems lately whenever I take interest in a candidate, they bomb. My happy dance for Sarah Palin's ascendancy ended like a funeral dirge. Then, my high hopes for Newt Gingrich crashed and burned. Of course, I really, really like Michele Bachmann but fear my endorsement would jinx her fledgling...

The New Iberia Big Bang is messing with your head. In a normal state of rest, I am certain you would have chosen to use "verses" not versus. Saw a brief mention of the New Iberia story on The Weather Channel this morning. Hopefully, all is well. Cheat death and leave the Grim Reaper cussin'.

I don't understand those who speak of the US facing a double-dip recession. We never really came out of the awful recession that began in 2008 and continues to this day. Technically, a few economic indicators bumped up a little, here and there. GDP goes up and down. Government is a growth...

Our modern-day Caligula performed the marriage rites for Weiner and his now pregnant bride. Bridey is a prized protege of Succubus (aka Mrs Caligula or the Succubus in certain circles). Bereft of decency or shame, these sick men are nothing more than mentally disturbed predators who dishonor...

At any moment in time, the current president is always the WORST president to half of the nation. Any nation stupid enough to nominate and then elect Barack Obama no longer relies on reason or logic at the ballot box. To re-elect Obama confirms this is true. I would venture to say there is an...

Gov. Perry shows a lot of promise. He doesn't pull any punches when going after Obama. Perry has presided over a prosperous era in Texas. Strong conservative. Strong advocate for states' rights. Hopefully, he will enter the race.

There isn't much to like about having a Muslim-sympathizing Socialist in the White House. These are the darkest days for our nation since WWII. Can you imagine what a second-term for Obama would be??? No longer having to stand for re-election and freed from political considerations, all...

Whoops is right. The new Newt belongs in Goofy Land. Wasn't expecting the guy to go 180 degrees out of phase. Maybe the Stockholm Syndrome at work with Newt still trying to appease his tormentors. Still searching for a 2012 right-wing dragonslayer. Mitt Romney is a nice man and therein...

I can't believe I used to like this guy. Over the past several years, it became really uncomfortable watching Newt buddy up to the likes of Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi. More and more, Newt seemed too concerned with pleasing liberals in an attempt to rehabilitate his public image. Those...

Dumping Osama bin Laden into the ocean has set an excellent precedent for the United States. Such a move gives pause to future bad-guy wannabees. I cannot help but wonder what the reaction was in the Kremlin or China or Tehran? Will the Nobel Peace Prize Committee revoke Obama's medal? Will...

Triple B... I am seeing fewer vans out here; not more. Also, I see vans sitting longer between loads. There are more vanners on this website because vans are cheap and allow easy entry into the industry. Straight truck teams are probably too busy most of the time to contribute online. For...

Life is full of strange twists and turns. Nearly ten years ago, on September 11th I explained to my young son, then in middle school, that the United States had been attacked by Muslim fanatics. Tonight, I called my son in Camp Lejeune to tell him Osama bin Laden had been killed by American...
