Most people have never even heard of a spirit bear unless you recently read National Geographic's article on the little white bear in British Columbia. This little white bear, also called the kermode bear, is really a descendant of the black … [Read More...]

Now I’m not dissing barbers or druggists, but you guys don’t wear your uniforms around as a fashion statement now do you? I don’t know where I got [...]
60 Minutes Insider Trading Video: Our Elected Inside Traders in Congress
Is it any wonder that Wall Street magnates have gotten away scot-free with precipitating the financial crisis?

What Baby Boomers Fear Most
Here’s a good one. A giant ad in last Sunday’s newspaper blared Baby Boomers Now Fear Memory Loss More Than Cancer Seriously? What about snakes and public speaking? What about the dreaded erectile dysfunction that gets lovingly conquered on TV commercials when just painting a room can turn [...]
Baby Boomers, Don’t Be Fooled by Charities!
Do you have any favorite charities? I don’t. Not after what I read in today’s paper and subsequent research. Under the headline “Little donated cash goes to aid troopers.” I read that the Texas Highway Patrol Museum rakes in millions of dollars in the name of supporting law enforcement [...]
