My answer is yes. Take this snippet from an AP article: The Dow Jones industrials plunged nearly 800 points, the most ever for a single day. I’m going to assume that they are comparing it to history using the point loss rather than the percentage loss because it makes a more gripping storyline. However, the [...]

I thought that this piece by CNN’s Campbell Brown hits the bail-out nail squarely on its overinflated head. I know everyone is screaming about how urgent this crisis is and that action must be taken immediately. But I love and live by former Supreme Court Justice Brandeis’ great quote: “Sunshine is the best disinfectant.” What [...]

Was reading this on Fox News tonight, and it just seems wrong to me. Some of the ideas being floated are good, but not all of them. Let me say up front that I don’t like the bailout idea, but if you’re going to do it at least have some sense about it. [Rep. Barney [...]

This slideshow is simply amazing to see. Popular Mechanics does a phenomenal job with this. I’ll be buying their August issue.

Some good information on this page from the Wichita Eagle. I thought this by Phyllis Jacobs Greikspoor was especially moving. I almost made it through the first 24 hours after a storm without sobbing. Almost. Greensburg is one of my favorite small Kansas towns. And now a tornado has practically smashed it out of existence.
