• Some blacks insist: 'I'm not African-American'

  Sun Feb 5, 2012
  • I'm one who believes that "Black" when referring to a specific race should be capitalized since it is a proper noun. Seems to be a bit demeaning to do otherwise.

• Fire the teachers? When schools fail, it may work

  Thu Mar 4, 2010
  • I differ. It seems to always be the teacher. It is never the curriculum. It is never the administration. It is never the student. It is never the parent. It is never the community. It is always the teacher. That kind of thinking is laughable.

• Obama to schools: Change or miss out on cash

  Fri Jul 24, 2009
  • I find Obama's position on this to be short-sighted. He is extremely ill-informed. Merit pay does not work. It is simply too subjective and eliminates student/parental responsibility. The belief that the educational process is solely base upon educators is almost comical.

• Woman claims 'Merry Christmas' got her fired

• Democrats got many concessions in bailout

  Sun Sep 28, 2008

  Thu Sep 25, 2008
  • The price is too high. I'm not convinced that these failures will significantly hurt the majority of the public . Just renegotiate mortgage

• Agree or Disagree: Friday's presidential debate should be postponed so the candidates can focus on the economy

  Wed Sep 24, 2008
  • We've only a few weeks before the election. The debates are needed. This is just posturing from McCain. I am deeply disappointed in him.

• What do you think of Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., as Barack Obama's choice for his running mate?

  Sat Aug 23, 2008
