Friends & Family Moods Opinions Political
WTF is going on in Wheatland Township, Hillsdale County, Michigan? I understand we’ve had some folks move in from the city (where these things make more sense), and everyone thinks they know what’s best for their neighbors, but some of this anti-blight stuff that’s been proposed is nuts. If it…

Opinions
The media isn’t always clear about how they are feeding us information, so I want to make sure this becomes obvious to everyone: all of the terrible events and the variety of people we’ve seen on our television screens over the last few months ARE NOT REAL people or even…

Opinions Political
I’ve been saying this same thing for years: Health insurance is the primary payment mechanism not just for expenses that are unexpected and large, but for nearly all health-care expenses. We’ve become so used to health insurance that we don’t realize how absurd that is. We can’t imagine paying for…

MSN Money: “Why Gen Y might never retire”
