Being an independent, I thought about changing my vote from Democratic to Republican, but after seeing who is heading the GOP -- a convicted drug addict (Rush Limbaugh), a reformed drunk (Glenn Beck), a coward (Sean Hannity), a quitter (Sarah Palin) -- I think I will just stay home this y…

It's interesting to listen to all the news reports about why the new Sen. Scott Brown won in Massachusetts. The truth is none of them know for sure.

Using William Sowa's logic, Texas passed tort reform limiting the amount that can be awarded in a medical malpractice lawsuit. This decreases medical costs by about 30 percent. Since President Barack Obama and the Democrats are against tort reform, they have caused medical costs to remain…

We're a decade into 21st century, and this country is still at least 20 years behind the rest of the developed world in terms of public transportation. The difference? High-speed trains. They seem to be in successful use all over the Europe and Japan, so why not here?

Under newly proposed regulation, for sales of stocks bought after 2010, brokers will have to report if the gain or loss is long-term or short-term. And when customers move stock bought after 2010 to another broker, the transferring broker must report the basis to the new broker.

Names are important. When we name a child, it is just a name until the child's life begins to bring it value. People talk about someone having "a good name" in the community. We can ruin a name as well. Have you ever heard of anyone naming their child Judas?

Corporate downsizing and outsourcing crusades are intended to cut costs, increase profits, and shore up bottom lines. Acumen and talents notwithstanding, employees on the receiving end of such actions generally perform lower and middle level functions.

Sen. Evan Bayh is at it again. After another round of interviews and editorials preaching fiscal responsibility, he turns around and votes in the opposite manner. Of course he voted along party lines for what would have been (and maybe still will be) our nation's largest ever entitlement …

I've read different articles about how rude and ignorant people have acted at some of the town hall meetings. I attended the meeting in Griffith, and there was no screaming or yelling. The people at this meeting really acted with restraint.
