For years I was one of those obnoxious people who never got a ticket. And then one morning, coming off of a bad night's sleep, and knowing there was a cop behind me, I made a left turn way to closely in front of an oncoming car....

tankermone lol I once got a ticket for bald tires, no, I didn't have bald tires and didn't get the ticket for that either, but I was pulled over for the bald tires. Seems a CHP officer was just looking to write tickets one day, and pulled me over because he could tell my...

I'm a fairly seasoned traveler. I fly at least a couple of times a year most years. And since I've moved from Los Angeles to Sacramento, I've flown quite a lot. The first year after I moved up here I flew down there and other...

tankermone I actually believe most of the news media should take jobs at seafood joints, as I refer to them as chowderheads, because they have no clue about reality! The left, liberal bias of the media, points out the hypocrisy in their thinking, as, like you put it,...

tankermone Yes, as my dad used to say, 'Who is watching the watchdogs?' Too many times in recent memory we have seen the ones in charge (i.e. the government) overstep their authority and land on someone's rights and viciously tear them to shreds. Case in point, when...

tankermone The swine flu was blown out of proportion to justify a pandemic. Some facts, 1500 people die from regular flu every year in this country, and the swine flu killed by 30. How is this a pandemic? Another fact, 12 times as many have died from the shot to stop the...
