Does anyone have any knowledge of what the thinking at netflix is, in regards to USPS's losses, their threat to cut Saturday feliveries, and possible postage tate hiles? Is Netflix taking this as a wake-up call to start hot footing their efforts to move more of their content onto their online 'Watch Instantly' libraries, and away from their DVD delivery service? IMO they really need to develop this method with all due speed. And not just because I prefer my content from online, but because it may soon be their best, if not only option that they can reasonably profit...

When President Obama speaks before Congress and the nation tonight, he will be facing some of his toughest critics. Grammar junkies. Since his election, the president has been roundly criticized by bloggers for using “I” instead of “me” in phrases like “a very personal decision for Michelle and I” or “the main disagreement with John and I” or “graciously invited Michelle and I.” The rule here, according to conventional wisdom, is that we use “I” as a subject and “me” as an object, whether the pronoun appears by itself or in a twosome. Thus every “I” in those quotes ought...

Can you put Biden, Bidens and Biden's in the spell checker - then delete this post. Thank you.

Folks-As a conservative public school teacher I fight a daily battle to just keep the curriculum balanced. At the New England school I teach at, about five of us are conservative and the other 110 are liberal. This ratio is typical at every school I've worked. I am usually the only politically "active" teacher (in my personal life). I NEVER advocate one side or the other. My views are a mystery to my students. I encourage a rigorous examination of the facts - ALL of the facts.Anyway - the reason for my post is to relate two recent occurances that...

HottieGirl, bless her heart I love her to death, is somewhat gullible. She almost fell for the oldest trick in the book.Well, its not really a trick, just a missleading marketing strategy to get you to buy an elaborate water filtration system that can run into the thousands $$$. Here's how it started: Last week I noticed a vile sitting on the counter. It came in the mail and had "water test division" on it. I didn't give it another thought. HottieGirl, being the responsible citizen she is, fills it full of tap water and puts it back in the...

A Teacher was fined for refusing to take down a banner that Read Merry Christmas...yet the jewish teacher next to her had a menorah

Its seems odd that country proclaiming a commitment to Freedom supports the closure of the only real free press in most of the middle east - Al Jazeera. Even Alister Campbell aplogist for the UK governement and a supporter of muting the TV station during the invasion of Iraq now agrees how important the station is to free speech. So all of you neo-cons with your spin on Freedom for the Iraqi people how about letting them watch what ever TV station they wish to switch on. And let Al Jazeera report from Iraqi what has an emerging democracy ocuupied...

Why is this website running a poll on who you think should be president in cheif. This is clearly a conservitive site so any results from this poll are utterly meaningless and stupid

WHEN you work for a newspaper, you get used to it. "Your paper is too liberal." "Your paper is too conservative." "It's too this." "It's too that." Then there was the phone call I got last week from Mike Papantonio, a talk host on the Air America Radio network — the liberal answer to Rush Limbaugh and conservative talk radio. He wanted to know why we didn't cover a story — even though we did. Air America has 15 stations across the country, but none in Houston. You can hear it on Sirius and XM Satellite Radio, however. Papantonio challenged...

Streisand's Election Version of 'People' Fri Jun 25, 4:02 AM ET By The Associated Press Barbra Streisand sang a special 2004 election version of her hit "People" at a Thursday night fund-raising concert for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites).

Two Sundays ago, CBS broadcast their grand 75th anniversary celebration. Audiences were reminded of the rich history of a network that has, until now, put artistic integrity and principled news above politics. From I Love Lucy to Murphy Brown in the entertainment arena and from Walter Cronkite to the impressive team behind 60 Minutes in news, we have come to depend on CBS for their high quality programming. As a wonderful recent letter to the New York Times reminded me, it was Edward R. Murrow of CBS who stood up to Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s, "a genuinely risky...

Barbra Streisand may have a voice like buttah, but she has an ego as fragile as a china doll. In the latest item on her Website (www.barbrastreisand.com), the songstress takes issue with an ad being run by Republican Marilyn O'Grady, who is challenging incumbent Democratic Rep. Carolyn McCarthy of New York. According to the "truth alert" posted on Streisand's site, O'Grady has "made a last-ditch effort to win headlines by devising ads in which she blatantly misquoted Barbra Streisand, fabricating outrageous quotes and completely misrepresenting Ms. Streisand's deep opposition to the Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein." The Republican's ad says, "Barbra...
