T’was the night before elections,
And all thru' the town,
Tempers were flaring
Emotions ran up and down.
... I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap,
Had shut off the TV,
Tired of political crap.
When all of a sudden,
There arose such a noise,
I peered out my window,
Saw Obama and his boys.
They had come for my wallet,
They wanted my pay
To hand out to others
Who had not worked a day!
He snatched up my money,
And quick as a wink,
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the stink.
He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart.
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!
On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, on Pelosi'
He screamed at the pairs!
They took off for his cause,
And as they flew out of sight,
I heard him laugh at a nation
Who wouldn't stand up and fight!
So I leave you to think
On this one final note...
If You Don't Want Socialism,
Get Out And Vote!!!

WIno, crackhead, or pothead I don't know. He even may have been stone sober. But he knew enough to inform me that wait time for NLM is now set at 2.25 hours. When the change occurred I don't know.
Tis the season for giving and the trucks keep giving.

I usually ask if it's a NLM load, if it is I pass on it. Unless dispatch throws big money in it

Sitting at shipper since 12:30 am.. Dispatch says they are ready for me...Dock personell says no.. Who do I believe?

Sounds like dispatch needs to get off their butt and call their customer, and tell them to call THEIR customer, and for them to call THEIR customer, who needs to call the shipper, and find out what's up.

Well I don't know about all that but at 1 a.m. I had to get off my butt and out of bed to go get a phone number so the customer can call the customer to verify the other customer had no freight. And I still don't know who the customer was. :cool:

We're so sorry, US voter.
We're so sorry if we caused you any pain.
We're so sorry, US voter.
Regardless if you vote D or R, we're really all the same.

Uncle Samuel told me "Hey,"
If you don't go and vote, then you wouldn't have a say."
I told him that it didn't really matter anyway,
there's no liberty."
"Liberty?"
"Yeah, Jefferson talked about watering the tree."

Save the Constitution.
Liberty or die.
Save the Constitution.
Liberty or die.

Live a little, Prez and Congress, spend some bux.
Start some wars for lobbyist schmucks,
Our kids and grandkids - out of luck.

Note: Song is to the tune of Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey, tho I'm guessing Highway Star knew that.
