Retirement age in US rises to 61 (from 57 in the early 90s)
Thu May 16, 2013
- It's hard to call it a choice, when to most people is really isn't one they can afford to make or it's been made for them. Healthcare is a big expense and buying insurance to bridge over until Medicare kicks in is a big impact to absorb and could put a real dent in an IRA or 401k. My wife and I woul …
Man with altered Saudi passport arrested with pressure cooker at Detroit airport
Mon May 13, 2013
- There's too much information missing here. Yes, the missing passport page is suspicious and that does warrant scrutiny. The pressure cooker part is crazy. One suitable for a bomb only needs to have a good seal and can be purchased in any city in the U.S.. And what's wrong with bringing one in? They …
More brands find it's not a stretch to offer plus-size yoga attire
Mon May 13, 2013
- If the outfits help people to stick with an exercise plan and help their fitness self image, then that's great. Anything that helps people do that should definitely be encouraged.

First Thoughts: The White House's terrible, horrible Friday spills over
Mon May 13, 2013
- Hell hasn't frozen over yet, so no, the vast majority of America is not ready to elect Ron Paul to anything. He seems to be popular in Texas and a few other places, but he really doesn't play well on the national level, so why run a guy who can't win? And, you'll find as many Republicans as Democra …

Fetus homicide may be tough to prove in Cleveland kidnapping case, expert says
Thu May 9, 2013
- Tough? Try close to impossible. The women were kept isolated from each other.

So, beyond that, it's his word against hers an …
First Thoughts: GOP shifts focus to Hillary
Thu May 9, 2013
- This investigation and hearing are totally partisan and is only appealing to people who wouldn't vote for Hillary or any Democrat anyway. Because it is so obviously partisan, most people aren't even giving it any attention. Two years from now, it will mean even less. The GOP are like pit bulls in th …
NJ Gov. Chris Christie reveals he underwent weight-loss surgery
Tue May 7, 2013

Surgery is a drastic way to approach it, but for some people, it's all that work …

Tue May 7, 2013
- Amazon is also looking to pick up many of those small businesses that will have to collect sales tax and don't have the time or resources to do it.
