    Driver dies in truck-bus crash on NY Thruway

    Apparently the driver of the bus pulled out in front of the truck, and the driver of the bus has a suspended license. The driver is from the Detroit area, even though the news showed he was from Flint. When are they going to get serious about these ******* **** buses? I was passed by one...

    57 mpg? That's so 20 years ago

    I know what you said, I just sort of added to it. Relax, it's hot out

    57 mpg? That's so 20 years ago

    Well sort of, the biggest reason was the slump in sales and the quality of the product. The one thing that the UAW screwed VW on was the quality of the people working there - they were not even up to eastern german standards.

    Little Hitlers on parade in Ohio

    Sorry guys, being a vet has nothing to do with it regardless how you want to spin it. The Vietnam vets were not the only ones who got crapped on but the funny thing is that they got crapped on by other vets when they got home too. The cop should be reprimanded for his actions, lights and...

    57 mpg? That's so 20 years ago

    Scranton?? Nope New Stanton, which is also known by Westmorland plant. It was most definitely union and the UAW screwed VW every which way but Sunday with their strikes and demands. Link all you want, the real world and the EPA ratings were two different things. The real world didn't match...

    Paint Question

    Not only what Brisco said but the other issue is the prep of the body to fix the bubbling/peeling paint, that's an adhesion problem between the paint, primer and the base metal/fiberglass. If this isn't corrected, the paint will end up bubbling/peeling in a matter of months or a year. A good...

    Little Hitlers on parade in Ohio

    Sorry dude but I am going to disappoint you. No defense if it is on tape, I say fire the cop and strip him of his pension.

    Irish PM in unprecedented attack on Vatican

    Sue, Just to put this into perspective, the American part of the Church doesn't seem to be controlled by the Vatican as it is in Europe and other parts of the world. Our church has had it share of rouge priests and nuns who have taken on causes that go not just against the laws of the country...

    Irish PM in unprecedented attack on Vatican

    Sue, I don't get into Irish politics much but from what I heard about Kenny, he isn't messing around. I wonder if the church will throw him out for this.

    Snyder signs law to limit cold medicine purchases in Michigan

    Cheri, I think if you look at the two insurances (malpractice and health) as separate, the malpractice insurance rates never have gone down but always up. An OB/GYN pays the top slot in malpractice because the number of complaints and claims made against them are the highest, with plastic...

    The Epidemic of Mental Illness

    Cheri, Many parents don't know what it is like to be parents or don't want to learn. A lot of those are selfish and quick to take any easy way out of putting time in parenting. A lot of parents turn to their GP and ask for something to help them with the kid's "Problem" and go on describing the...

    700 wlw and bubba bo!

    Yes turtle but I do still say BS - not what was said by Manic but the excuse made he was given. I wasn't talking about a 15/30 minute spot, but a mention and an overview of the event for 10/15 seconds may be all that is needed and most of the time that happens often. The radio show isn't a...

    57 mpg? That's so 20 years ago

    Um.... 1964 cougar? You should check this ... I'm not aware of a single union-made "compact" that did as well, mileage or reliability wise as their foreign counterparts. How about the 1978 to 1984 VW Rabbit Diesel, built in New Stanton PA. It got 50 to 55 MPG and wasn't a bad car. I could go...

    The Epidemic of Mental Illness

    Cheri, The doctors are as much to blame as the pharma company and the parents. The doctor should be doing their Due Diligence on these drugs and not just buying into what the carpet salesman -- opp I mean drug rep is selling. The drug rep has 15 minutes with the doctor as a norm so they can't...

    What has you ripping your hair out sometimes in this business?

    I think if you are in SF, take a trip down to sunnyvale, visit Qualcomm and have them show you their packages and systems. Many carriers have them handle a lot more than dispatching, like IFTA, messaging and temp monitoring and not to mention asset tracking.

    700 wlw and bubba bo!

    You know guys, it seems to me that you need to get your heads out of your ,,,,, and think for a moment. The show is about trucking, there are different subjects they can talk about and putting a plug or two into the shows contents is done often on different shows. For that matter, even call...

    700 wlw and bubba bo!

    BECAUSE NO ADVERTISING DOLLARS WERE SPENT WITH 700 WLW, WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO SO! Ah ... I think this is BS. Who's we? The show has ads they have to fulfill, but outside of that, the host has the latitude to plug events - a lot of radio hosts do that all the time. I think the hosts are...

    News Corp Faces Potential Fallout in US

    I could not include them, they were post murrow and it seems that whole Rather/Cronkite/Brinkely types took over, the TV news went down in quality and as it went down, the printed news went with it. We really haven't had any good reporting since the 50's, the 60's opened up the conscience of...

    News Corp Faces Potential Fallout in US

    I thought we lived in the age of Yellow Journalism ... HLN is reliving the anthony case, Fox reliving Obama's first two years and the rest of the media is either making things over proportioned or in the case of a few like Rather, just making it all up. WE HAVE NO REAL JOURNALIST IN OUR...

    she is out.

    Well the Nancy Graces here keep saying all kinds of things because of their hatred but his job is to interject doubt into the minds of the jury which he did. It seems everyone hates him but deep down if they were facing the death penalty, they would welcome the same type of defense, maybe even...
