I'm one of those 40 percent of all U.S. households with a Kroger "loyalty card," though I didn't know it was called that. You let them scan it everytime you check out, and it usually knocks at least a few bucks off the total. But, wait, there's more:

SAN ANTONIO -- When you think of an 87-year-old, do you think of someone running a 100-meter dash? How about making a double play? Can you imagine an 87-year-old pole vaulting? Adolph Hoffman does all that and more.

Tempus fugit, but the shuttle won't for long:
So we have the youngest, hippest, coolest president since JFK, and he admits he doesn't even know how to work an iPod, an iPad, an Xbox or a Playstation. Must be a bitter disappointment for those who were delighted to believe George H.W.
Are those of us on the right lucky? We don't even have to decide how to oppose Eleana Kagan for the Supreme Court -- we have a Washington Post expert telling us what we're going to do:
