The economy growing weaker, President-elect Barack Obama said Tuesday that recovery efforts will trump deficit concerns when he takes office in January. Yet he pledged a "page-by-page, line-by-line" budget review to root out unneeded spending.

Navy orders investigation into raunchy videos
Sun Jan 2, 2011
- As a Navy wife (soon to be ex), I can attest that CHARACTER is not part of the Navy high standards. The Navy has certainly turned multiple blind eyes to my husband's shenanigans. Fortunately, I am not the Navy and my eyes are no longer blind.

- Wildcat01 - The slap in the face is to the supposed "pro-lifers" who are voted into office for that exact reason (that they are pro-life) - and then issue orders to the military to kill.

- This will hit the pro-lifers hard; however, it also brings to mind a question I have had for a very long time.

- Remember "I smoked, but did not inhale" or "I did not have sex with that woman"? How about "I will end the war in Iraq in 22 months" or "I will not accept lobby dollars". The promises of lifelong politicians would rival the Encyclopedia Brittanica.

On marriage: Let's call the whole thing off
Sat Jun 20, 2009
- I am not so sure about all the dissension regarding this article. Marriage, like religion, can be a good thing. However, times change. For instance, every day in American society we are provided images and media implying the grass is greener somewhere else.
Unhealthy truth: Is our food making us sick?
Wed May 6, 2009
- Reading this story brings to mind many thoughts, but one thought that seems to be avoided in the media is WHERE many of our foods are processed. Because Americans want cheaper labor and products, our biggest food processor is China.

- I truly hope that the producer's edited Tyson to APPEAR like a VILE human being and he is not in realityi as bad as he appeared. If he is really that poor of a character and there are many others like him, it would explain a lot about why America is in the trouble it is today.
