The official state motto of Rhode Island is one simple word: HOPE.

I never said I was a good driver 
Had a little time off. Hitting the road again this morning. Ain't really much else to report.
...except tomorrow is a big day, especially if you live in Texas, Ohio, Vermont, or Rhode Island.

Hey. Obama should appoint you head of the DOT or something after all your support.
Last week the driver I was out with training in the arts of Coca Cola told me that a guy he knew leased a truck from someplace in western mass and got his loads off of loadfinder.com. He was able to pay his truck off in a year and now just works when he feels like it. This sort of thing sounds a little like a fairy tale now that I'm typing it out but I thought I'd ask if you knew of anyone who'd been successful with that business plan, O/O using loadfinder. I wonder whether it's actually just an online load broker. The friend he mentioned I'm pretty sure was also a flatbedder, which might just be inherently more lucrative but only marginally viable for someone with my lack of muscle mass. There might be a lot more competition and less money in dry van loads which is a complex as I want to get.
Coke isn't too bad, main thing that worries me is whether or not my back would hold up over the long term hauling the sodapop up stairs.
I didn't hate the road, I just really really hated trucking companies. I'm going to try taking a look at loadfinder.com.

Madonna is hottest wearing western gear.
For shizzle. 49 years old and still turning me on like she did back in the early 80s.

Oh Ralph Nader, you fucking idiot.
Despite the fact that I agree with the fundamental idea that Americans SHOULD have more than two candidate choices, in general, all you have done is make John McCain a very happy man. Despite your extreme ignorance when you denied responsibility for George W. Bush's election... the fact is that 2-3% --DOES-- make a big difference these days. The...

Thank you.
I'm pretty sure, at this point, that we're going to win.
It's an awesome feeling.
Obama might not carry my home state of Rhode Island, but unless Hillary wins all the remaining states by something like 15% this contest is over.
John Edwards is perhaps the best (and obvious) running-mate choice. Anyhow, Barack will need someone to balance out his perceived weaknesses. It sure wont...

I'd vote for Kucinich over Clinton any day, unfortunetly, he dropped out a while ago.
A Clinton or Bush has led this country for the past 20 years. Doesn't that make anyone else uncomfortable? 232 years ago we rejected the rule of dynasties.
Yeah, that got to me too. While we don't have a monarchy, the sound of Bush VIII scares the shit outta me.
Lennon was interviewed on the Howard Stern show today. Which I thought was pretty cool.
I have more political stuff to discuss, but it'll have to wait. I'm tired and generally feeling furious with the state of Pennsylvania for the atrocious way they take care of their roads during the winter. PA is by far the most dangerous state that I travel though. Within the...

I am debt free as soon as I get my taxes back! Gonna pay off my credit cards and give the rest to my parents to put into my school loan account. I mean, I guess I still owe on my school loans, but 5Gs on credit cards is done!
Time for me to start making my money work for me!
And hey, If I had a little lady, I would have gladly spent more than $20 bucks on her. Since I don't, why not some random nice girl?
I dunno. I tip like a mad man though. I know what it is like to work for tips...so I appreciate a great tipper ever now and then....
PS - I think Pittsburgh is FUCKING RAD! My bro lives there and we alway have SOO much fun! But then again, we take cabs everywhere, so we don't drive much.....

So according to Hillary Clinton, you only really matter if you live in one of the "important" states. New York, California, Ohio, Texas. Rudy Giuliani adopted an attitude like this too, and look what happened.
I guess she thinks your vote is irrelevant if you live in 2/3 of the rest of America that voted for Obama so far.
And I'm predicting three more wins...

From the Washington Post:
Responding to questions about the potential impact of superdelegates, Clinton rejected any notion that those delegates should back the candidate who has won the most pledged delegates through elections, as Senator Obama has suggested. "We have a system," Clinton said. She added "I respect their judgment, a lot of time they have first hand knowledge of the candidates."
If this doesn't...

What you havn't taken into account is that it hasn't been a democratic system ever.
This is just a different form of it not being democratic.

1) Hillary loaned her campaign $5 million from her own finances.
2) Bill Clinton stated on Tuesday that Obama was the "establishment candidate".
Both of these developments are significant. And both indicate that the Clinton campaign is scared. The first one... loaning herself the money... because she clearly expected that "Super Tuesday" would propel her to a decisive lead for the democratic nomination. Never in...

My mother is an atheist. I've spent most of my life studying different types of philosophy and theology, so I've wound up with some pretty wild ideas about religion and spirituality. I tried explaining some of these ideas to a young lady that I'm trying to get a date with last night, who happens to be a Catholic... that was interesting. And uncomfortable...

I was just saying at breakfast this morning "I wonder who will be our next presidient". My hubby said John McCain. hmmmm
I really want it to be different than that.
So if I had to vote between Hilary and McCain. I still dislike Hilary very very much. I think there really is something dark and wrong about her.
Weird to think about.
I am just really rooting for Obama. Please Please Please. Oh and I really hope that he is who he seems to be.
