jmowreader In NC (at least until they changed the law so you can't register an uninspected car), most of the people they caught in DUI checkpoints were for expired inspection stickers. I remember two checkpoints clearly...the first one they ever set up in...

[i](March 26) -- I live in the South. I love the South. And even I think this is beyond stupid. A group called The Southern Legal Resource Center is attempting to "defend the rights of Southerners to honor their culture and...

jmowreader "Healthcare across state lines" is reform, all right...reform that will only help the insurance companies. You may not remember it, but at one time credit card interest rates were set by the states. Then the credit card industry came up with this wonderful...

jmowreader I'm a little hazy on this bill, but early in Bush's administration the GOP wrote a Medicare authorization act. They called the AARP to ask them what should be in it--it's a bill that helps senior citizens, the seniors should know what they want, right?--and...

I live in Ohio, which is not a "right to work" state. That means that unions dominate both skilled and unskilled professions. A lot of industries won't come here because they know that unions will recruit and take over their...

jmowreader Philly cheesesteaks are really good. You take an Italian roll, put thinly-sliced cooked steak, sauteed onions and cheese (the man who invented the cheesesteak used Cheez Wiz sauce but you can use any kind of cheese) on it, and eat it. Some people put sauteed...
