I have a complex relationship with guns. On one hand, I firmly believe that there's no place in society for AK-47s and other assault weapons.
Have you ever wondered why you never received a call back from an employer for whom you really thought your skills and personality were a wonderful fit?
Since marijuana hasn't been too provocative a subject across news wires lately, it seemed odd to me for Reuters news service to grace the world with an astoundingly vague story on the changing face of U.S.
The New York Times recently reported on a relatively new psychotherapy that seems to be raising eyebrows in the clinical psychology world.
In the days following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, little sympathy or understanding was extended to the Muslim and Arab communities in the United States.
I hear a lot of moaning and complaining about Michigan. People say it's boring. Flat. Droll. Uninspiring.

He's not old, he doesn't seem crusty, he didn't vote to keep Nelson Mandela in prison, he dresses well and it's very tough to favorably compare his appearance to a felt puppet from "The Muppet Show."

Based on what America seems to look for in a second-in-command, Edwards just isn't cut out for it.
