  Tue May 10, 2011
  • What can you expect.... criminals hiding behind 'the law'. Exactly how legal was it to declare war on another country, then fly two planes full of innocent people into buildings to kill thousands more? This becomes an act of war and response.

• New Mexico woman killed in attack by 4 dogs

  Tue Apr 26, 2011
  • When I lived in New Mexico (a 10-year stint) out of control dogs were an issue even then. The saddest I remember was a father watching his 2-year-old being eaten alive by a dog. And not a stray, a neighborhood dog who got out. This was in the 1980s.

• School or summer job? Beware of the drawbacks

  Thu Mar 24, 2011
  • No jobs for full time adults where I live, let alone summer jobs. Last summer not a single kid in my neighborhood was able to land summer work except the fire fighter apprentice as part of his program. Where I live, I'm still seeing businesses shuttering up every day.

• As health costs soar, GOP and insurers differ on cause

  Sat Mar 5, 2011
  • How can the Republicans claim that the Obama law is causing the skyrocketing premiums? Most of the Obama law features haven't even taken effect and won't for years. The rise is due to Republican non-actions over the past 10 years.

• Cops shut down Ga. Girl Scout cookie stand

  Fri Feb 25, 2011
  • We had a similar incident in my town, where a little girl set up a lemonade stand (how many of you did the same in your youth?) and the cops fined her for peddling without a permit and shut her down. Eventually, the mayor got her an exception to the permit rule after it became a media incident.

• Four American hostages killed by Somali pirates

  • It's amazing how the pirates see themselves as the injured party--vowing revenge on the US for messing up their investment and profits.
