Say what???

A career in a customer-facing environment (sales) has given me many things in life. One of those things is a vast assortment of hilarious stories. This one comes from my days in car rental, more than a decade ago. A renter returns a rental car, slaps a piece of paper on the counter, and announces: "Ya'll's rental car got a speeding ticket." Yes, that's right - he blamed the ticket on the car, and wanted the company to pay for it! .

Happy Ending

This is the type of story that will never get national news. A gun-toting man stopped a stabbing spree. Why liberals won't let you know this: 1.

The citizen did not even need to shoot. 5. This makes people less dependent on police or the government, and more self-reliant. .

What a putz!

Bill O'Reilly lies on air. Only way he gets away with it is because it is his own show. Link to a clip of his lies, and setting the record straight. PS - It took me three days and several attempts to write this - mainly because O'Reilly is so far off base it is hilarious! Lies O'Reilly told , and truth afterwards (based on Fox's own transcripts ): 1.  Sale of "heavy weapons" (Howitzers, machine guns, and mortars) need to be reported to FBI.  Fact: Machine guns, explosives, and destructive devices are HEAVILY regulated, and all sales are reported and registered through the BATFE. Fact 2: The CO shooter did not use a machine gun, howitzer, or anything like that. 2. You can buy any weapon you want there (gun shows).  Fact: You can buy any weapon that is up for legal sale at a gun show. However, restricted weapons (see #1) would take more hoops to jump through. Fact 2: The idiot in CO did not use machine guns, or the like. No explosives. No "he...

Indoctrination

Type 1 of the three types of Calvinist - the Indoctrinated.  I was speaking to a cousin the other day. He will be ordained by the Presbyterian church this August. The topic of Calvinism came up. As a note, for those who do not know, the Presbyterian church was founded on the tenets of Calvinism. It is the only denomination today that fully adheres to the heresy that Calvin laid out. Some Baptist churches do adhere to Calvinism, but they are in the minority by a wide margin. A summary of what Presbyterians believe , as sent to me by my cousin (no, my cousin is not the author, he just sent me the link). My cousin did his undergrad work and his seminary work at Moody Bible Institute . I asked questions about how Calvinism was taught, and it was a real eye-opener. From his answers (direct, indirect, implied, and between the lines), one thing became clear: while the coursework acknowledged both predestination and free will, the underlying core belief taught is a subversive form o...

Yes. Yes. Yes.

The simple fact that the sign was posted means they have had problems with this. I'm from TN. We do not have toll roads, yet even I was more intelligent than to try this.
