College Football's Logic: why Joe Paterno and Penn State would shield a child molester

November 3, 2011 – Occupy DC – Mission of Mercy – Part Two, "Reflection."

Comparing the Occupy movement to the political climate of the Vietnam era, I recall runaway inflation, but that really didn't peak until approximately 1984, at which time, where I lived, it had reached better than 20%.

The rock party is over - Opinion - Al Jazeera English

This opinion piece should jar people awake and perhaps make some politicians do some serious introspection.  That is, of course, assuming any of them have IQ's high enough even to know the meaning of a word of more than three letters and one syllable.

This is a topic that has both saddened and angered me ever since 9/11.  It seems that, despite the violence that people endure in one form or another, every day, it somehow became taboo to show photos and videos of the victims who either fell or jumped from the World Trade C …

Hurricane Irene's aftermath Photos | Hurricane Irene's aftermath Pictures - Yahoo! News

After listening to many "talking heads" assess the hurricane (Irene) as having less impact than anticipated, I simply cannot resist this photo essay- I honestly do not recall any recent storms (not counting Katrina) that did as much damage as Irene did, and over such a huge area. …
