• Moody's cuts Ireland's rating to junk

  Tue Jul 12, 2011
  • Aren't Moody's and S&P both junk ? Why are they still in business ? 

• Wis. voters send governor strong, angry message

  Wed Apr 6, 2011
  •  Here's another message being sent: I would have voted for Prosser, but I got so fed up with the distorted, misleading, lying SOS TV ads being run by some groups supporting Prosser that I wouldn't vote for either candidate. I wrote in Tommy Thompson.

• 8 bombs go off across Baghdad

  •  Wonderful "family" films - Swiss Family Robinson, Kidnapped. (I believed that's where "Space Family Robinson" came from in "Lost In Space" - "Danger, Will Robsinson". Maybe they both descended from Robinson Carusoe.) Thanks, James McArthur.
