Politics, News & Issues > International News Is book burning the answer: 2 of 6
I read this article about a book store owner burning his inventory because, in his opinion, no one would take them from him. I wonder just exactly how much effort he put into announcing that he was willing to practically give the books away. My heart sank when I realized that many books had already been destroyed - and, than... More..
Arts & Humanities > Playwrights & Plays Biography: Lillian Hellman: 1 of 3
I thought it was interesting to note that her father was a shoe salesman - underscoring the fact that your altitude is not determined by your beginnings.

Entertainment > Celebrity Commentary Commentary: Rosie O'Donnell: 4 of 11
OK - wow - a lot of negativity! Yes - the fight between Rosie and Elizabeth was a little over the top - but if you want to make Rosie look like an attacking pit bull - I would have to say that Elizabeth looked like an aggressive Chihuahua (and many people have almost lost a finger - or an ankle - to a feisty Chihuahua). Clea... More..
Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq Reactions to President Bush's speech on adding 20,000+ more troops in Iraq: 23 of 63

In terms of adding 20,000+ additional troops in Iraq - well, it seems that a number of troops initially sent to Iraq should have been closer to 400,000. I dislike war and I'm not a supporter of it, but if these brave souls are willing to go up against such brutality -... More..

Relationships & Family > Break-Ups & Exes How to recover from a broken heart: 71 of 177
Take care of yourself - really, this is the best way to make sure you keep it together until you are back on your feet emotionally. This would be a good time to throw yourself into a fun new hobby - like learning how to cook vegetarian/vegan, and enrolling in a singles cooking class. Start learning how to invest like a pro -...

I have been to many excellent concerts - and there is nothing quite like being there live, being entertained by your favorite group. Some of my favorite concerts includes one that had three bands on the bill: Metallica, Gun's 'n Roses, and Faith No More. Yet another that deserves a mention (but is definitely a different styl...
