Politics, News & Issues > Bush Administration George W. Bush's legacy: 1 of 84
As presidents close in on their final days, each will inevitably deny any thoughts of how history will view their work. Truthfully, though, each one is thinking legacy. How will future generations remember our 43rd President, George W. Bush? Were policies created under his watch that protected the country from terror? Maybe h... More..
Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq Setting a timetable for troop withdrawal from Iraq is a terrible mistake: 1 of 80
President Bush, and his supporters, including candidate McCain, scoff at the idea of putting US military presence in Iraq on the clock. They tell us, the public, that a timetable for departure would be irresponsible and embolden the enemy who is, I presume, Al Qaeda. McCain is ready to stay 100 years to achieve "victory". Sor...

The Patriots were poised to make NFL history on Super Bowl Sunday. This unstoppable, indomitable collection of men and coaches anticipated capping off a perfect season with a championship stomping of the 12 point underdog New York Giants.

Entertainment > Music Reviews (Other) Readers share favorite songs: 3 of 61
We must hear thousands, possibly millions of songs in our lifetimes. Many of us, the Generation X'ers, will pay for hours of headphone madness by losing our hearing. That's for later. We shake our fists, driving down city streets and country thoroughfares, bobbing and shaking to rock anthems, pondering intelligently written s... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Why we make mistakes: 13 of 236
Why do we make mistakes? Erring is part of the human experience. Whether you believe in God and that we were created in his image, the plain, logical truth is that we'll never reach that platform of perfection. The greatest NFL quarterbacks, including Johnny Unitas and even Joe Montana, misfire about 40% of the time. Mistakes... More..
Food & Drink > Coffee Which is the better choice: Coffee or tea?: 1 of 18
The coffee vs. tea debate has been raging for centuries. America's history was deeply rooted in Colonial customs. For hundreds of years, the English have interrupted their afternoons for a spot of tea and light snacks. So did the colonists. Eventually, greedy English governmental ministers created steep taxes on a variety of ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Elections (Other) Should the Electoral College be abolished?: 2 of 32
Eject the electors. Supplant the super delegates, too. The founding fathers masterfully crafted the Constitution. This document, the supreme law of the land, has served as a reliable blueprint, to guide our country, for nearly 220 years. That era's greatest minds, including Franklin, Madison and Jefferson, created a governmen... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 Obama or McCain? The choice gets more difficult as election day nears: 1 of 15
Many experts still believe that the Presidential Election will wind up very close. I predict a 5 percentage point margin of victory. Recent polls continue to show a large faction of undecided voters. This I find unfathomable. After a lengthy, and for the Democrats, bruising, primary season, the electorate should be very famil... More..
Entertainment > Musicians & Bands What is your favorite band and why?: 18 of 219
The entire concept of declaring a "favorite band" is so flawed. It's an elusive undertaking. Life's stages and experiences dictate change, here. I'd be willing to wager that very few music fans have a single favorite band their entire lives. The very first record I received as a gift, from my parents happened to be "Sonny and... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Saw IV: 1 of 12
Motion pictures that generate continuous sequels inevitably become money bubbles. Sylvester Stallone insisted on releasing "Rocky" movies until fans deserted the box office. Unfortunately, quality and freshness suffer, leaving viewers a watered down, recycled product. "Saw IV"'s 43 million dollar first weekend proves that fan... More..
