It sounds silly, but check out Suze Orman's stuff. Her book "Young, Fabulous and Broke" has tons of great tips for what to do and how to do it. She answers all the questions out there (should I start saving before I pay off my debt? Should I use retirement money to pay off my debt?). You can get her book online or in just about any book store. Good luck.

I'm not saying it's likely, but let's remember that these kids haven't actually be charged yet--they are waiting for a DNA sample to be returned. I don't know the entire story, but I'd hate to tar the entire team with the brush that should be used to beat three of them (senseless, I might add--and of course, there is me, assuming that the three are guilty). While I too would be disgusted by the LAX players involved, I'd be grateful for the re

The vocals are dry and frigid. They are trying to prove their "tough" image by half-rapping. It ends up being foolish than intimidating. Of course, nearly twenty years later this song is going to seem silly, but you have to look at through the spectrum of 1989. Here were inner city boys from Dorcheste

Sorry I missed this earlier. I'll keep my fingers crossed that any shakedowns come on your terms!

I just think they have no business telling a church what to do. Would you feel the same way if a church was giving shelter and food to a mass murderer? Now I'm not saying that immigrants are violent criminals--but they are breaking the law. And yes, while there should be separation of Church and State the Church should not knowingly aid people

My heart broke for him when he walked over to the bench at the end of the game, struggling with tears. It is sort of nice to see that he's human (not that I wanted to see him cry). He started out so arrogant--all the chest thumping and whatnot. He ended up making life really difficult for himself (not that I am condoning the abuse that he got on

Yeah kb and a "dixiecrat" is STILL a democrat no matter "how" you try and spin it. Uh--actually they aren't. Dixiecrats broke off from the democratic party for the 1948 election. Saying that a dixiecrat is a democrat is like saying that Americans are British no matter how you spin it.

I'm not a Duke fan--not even in the slightest--but even I would have wished for a better ending to JJ's college career than that. You have to feel bad for the kid--he plays his heart out all the time and he has an "off game" when it really, really matters.

I didn't realize they were still doing Fish on Fridays. Only during Lent.

You think there should be no rebuttal when people just try to invent rights out of thin air? No, simply expressing the futility of the situation. By the way, though, the inventing of rights isn't a one-sided game. There are many ignorant neanderthals on both sides of the aisle (I feel like t

Calling for a boycott of a small town in Utah seems like a strange and somewhat asinine thing to do. Agreed. My comment was directed specifically at the comment left by Dr. Guy about free speech. <T

He also forgot rule number one about freedom. YOu are allowed to associate with whomever you want. Apparently, in Fromer's book, that only applies to people who think like him. And he's allowed to publish whatever he feels like--if you don't like it, don't buy his book. He's got freedoms to, you know

One of my favorite things to do is listen to music while cooking--it gives me a "homey" feeling. Hope you and Kole have a great night (and that Kole gets better ASAP).

There's also a big difference between legislators who stand behind what they are doing and intend what they pretend, and legislators who make grand overtures for the camera, seek to impose punishment when crime hasn't be established, and who paints political mechanization as an ethical stand. Uh, Baker-

Republicans moved to vote on it right away last time I checked, Feingold wans't an R, so he didn't call for a vote. I'm not supporting Feingold's move, I'm just saying that Dr. Miler is quick to condemn when he doesn't always have his facts straight--there's a big difference between Feingold

He called for a vote and the walked out of the building Every once in a while it would be nice if you had any idea what you were talking about before you decide to post. Feingold did NOT call for a vote, he introduced a bill. Maybe a viewing of School House Rock's "I'm Just a Bill" will help explain t
