"Lockdown"

Item #1 - A $400 haircut? You have got to be kidding! Having nothing to do with the fact that I'm OTR trucker, I pay $12 to get my hair cut. I go to an ole fashioned barbershop. I have paid much more for a haircut. It didn't matter. The $12 one is much better. I give the guy a $2 tip. I never have to make an appointment, the magazines and atmosphere are great. I don't think I want any of my "representatives" to spend $400 for a haircut. Something is definitely wrong there. It's a question of common sense. Did he really think that no one would question this?
Item #2 - Alex Baldwin. There is not one man out there who has ever been divorced or separated that does not understand that telephone message. I have heard similar many times in truck stops, especially around the holiday's. Yea, yea, calling your kid fat and stupid is not cool. My father called me useless. Life goes on.
Item #3 - Bush's bud Gonzales has to go. Enough with this crap.
Item #4 - Do you drive a spread axle trailer? Did you ever try to get a CAT scale to weigh the spreads individually? Lotsa luck driver. Most of the clerks at Pilot don't even know what the scale is for.
Item #5 - Are you tired of hearing the word "lockdown." I sure as hell am.
Item #6 - The news is supposed to be who, what, where, why and how. I don't care about the opinion of the reporter and don't want to hear what if, maybe, could have been or artificial labels like crisis, explosive, furor, etc.
Item #7 - Did you buy your 2007 edition of the "Next Exit?" This "thing" needs a lot of work. If you e-mail any suggestions or updates, you will never get an acknowledgment or thank you. Many Love's locations are not listed. There is too much "other" important stuff missing. I recommend it only as a backup. I'm not surprised that the editor is connected with those arrogant pinheads at FJ.
Item #8 - Our flag half mast for VT? No. Half mast for our fallen troops in Afghanistan and Iraq? Yes.
Item #9 - Speaking of Iraq - what the hell are we doing? Do you know? Does anyone know? Does Bush know? Either we shit or get off the pot. Fly our flag over Iraq, the oil is ours, everything is ours, get rid of the ooni's or fall back to Afghanistan and watch what happens from across the border. Keep it simple stupid!
Item #10 - A special message to Mexican carriers: stay on your side of the border! I don't want you in my country. I don't want your illegal relatives here either. South NAFTA is a bad idea. North NAFTA with Canada is ok.
