People with No Scruples

I’m browsing the news headlines, of course taking more time to read the stories about Heath Ledger and to mourn his passing some more today. I was a huge fan and his death still seems surreal. Anyway, in the headlines appear headlines one about the other:
• Police: Coroner stole gift cards from dead
• Nursing home worker takes […]

Tax Rebate Checks

The US government has been hard at work hatching a plan to stimulate the economy. Headlines this morning are screaming that they plan has been reached to offer rebates of $600 per person and $1200 per couple.

The Universities of the Future Are Online

I earned by first two bachelors degrees in the early 90s, before the internet had fully come onto the scene. By the time I was ready to add a teaching certificate to my educational arsenal, times had changed and I completed a good number of my courses online.

I’ve never really loved shopping in stores. The […]

Ultimate Irreverence

I could care less what anyone thinks of Heath Ledger. I know very well that there is a possibility that he overdosed on drugs either accidentally or on purpose, that he very well may have committed suicide. You may feel empathy, you may feel apathy. You may feel disgust or even profound sadness.
But for the […]

Home Insurance a Burden Worldwide

Sometimes it is easy to sit here in Florida and think that our home insurance woes are unique to the local area. We are consumed by the special sessions our state legislature is having, the laws they try to pass, and the big insurance companies who are constantly finding loopholes in the laws so they […]

Can’t Clinton Sleep at Night?

We all know that campaigning for his wife must require long hours, but it astounds me that Bill Clinton could not keep his eyes open long enough to show respect during an event to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. yesterday. Even my four-year-old knows how to keep herself awake in public, and she is not […]
