The proposed legislation to open up the supscription TV market to the Telco's looks like a good deal for consumers on the surface.

I totally disagree with the advice cited in this article. It's true that you can't change your boss' negative behavior, and that you shouldn't reciprocate his/her bad behavior with you own. But I don't think you should hesitate to find a new job if you can. Companies need to learn that the cost of bad managers is the loss of good talent.

This judge has some serious issues. The dude was using a penis pump in the courtroom during trials. The audio recorder picked up the sound of the pump. Photos were taken. Semen was found. Yet he still denied his guilt. I wonder what he would have said if he had been caught <bad pun>red-handed</bad pun>?

This seemed to come out of nowhere. The suspect has appearantly made a partial confession already. It's a funny coincidence how the Ramseys were suddenly back in the news right before this arrest happened.

Some people just don't get it. Joe Lieberman lost the Democratic primary and now intends to run as an independent. What part of losing the primary doesn't he get? There's a reason he lost the primary and it has nothing to do with how much money his opponent spent. It has to do with the fact that he's a closet Republican and the voters wanted a real Democrat for a candidate.

I guess all hell has to break lose before the Simpering Simian will actually cut short his vacations. Things like category five hurricanes demolishing the Gulf Coast states. Or escalating violence in the Middle East. Or the potential losses for the GOP in the November elections. Or maybe Mel Gibson making a total ass of himself. Whatever it takes to avoid becoming a miserable failure.
