• 'Occupy' protesters find allies in ranks of the wealthy

  Fri Oct 21, 2011
  • I'm not the 1%, but I'm close to it. I support Occupy Wall Street as it is drawing attention to the problems many of us think are plaguing our country, but that our elected officials have been ignoring - until now.

• Should teen be banned from prom for big sign?

  Thu May 12, 2011

• Should David Letterman apologize for comment about Sarah Palin's daughter?

  Fri Jun 12, 2009
  • Sarah Palin is an overly ambitious and under educated woman who needs to put her children ahead of her career. Family values = baloney when it comes to her. She's a bad mother. Raising kids to be decent, responsible and honorable human beings comes before everything else.
