A Democrat named Kerry who makes sense:

This week's shocking study uncovering astounding information:

At least 80 per cent of women surveyed in a new study say they have been approached in a sexually overt way while at a singles bar.

Maybe someone can explain this to me, because I'm not sure I undersand it:

According to the Center for Public Policy and Administration at the University of Utah, for the first time in history, four generations comprise the American workforce, and like a family, they don't always get along.

“You can have an office with a 65-year-old and a 26-year-old; there's a long span between those two,” Carroll said. “They have to learn to work together.”

The silliness never ends:

Ellen Frankel stands just 4-foot-8 1/2 inches tall, a size that allowed larger co-workers to playfully scoop her up at the office and make remarks about her height. Some even patted her on the head.

Lawmakers are considering complaints such as hers as they review a bill that would make Massachusetts just the second state to bar discrimination based on height or weight.

Gas prices are outrageous, and we're not going to take it anymore! Let's boycott 'em. We'll just stop driving, and that will show 'em. Well, not really:

The rising price of gasoline has certainly increased the amount of complaining from drivers paying $3 a gallon or more to fill up their cars, but it so far has done little to curtail how much people are driving.

You may think you have a clue about the privacy issues of the information revolution, but what if the very concept of privacy gets transformed?

What Amy Sorrell did to get in trouble at Woodlan Junior-Senior High School was, metaphorically speaking, a bank robbery compared to the jaywalking that got this Indiana teacher fired:

Wonkette, one of the left's favorite feeble wits posing as deep thinkers, has fun with the disaster drill in Indianapolis, getting to make light of Indiana and the Bush administration in the same post:

Stamps just went up 2 cents. Cigarettes will be going up 44 cents a pack. Gas goes up every day. What's the saying -- being "nickeled and dimed to death"? Oh, for the good, old days, when the price of a Coke stayed a nickel for more than 70 years. There were many reasons for this, among them:

Thanks to the GI Bill, I was able to finish college without any debt. It didn't cover quite everything -- my wife and I lived in an apartment her family owned, which made up the difference -- but it enabled me to go the last two years without working a part-time job the way I had to for the first two. Times have changed, though, and the GI Bill doesn't cover as much as it once did:
