Gunning for grandpa

·

Two weeks ago in Arizona, five anti-war senior citizens entered a military recruitment office, asking to enlist in the army so their children and grandchildren could come home.

Leading ladies

·

In the old familiar game of boys versus girls, the girls are still losing. Yet things are looking up. Interest groups around the world have identified this stagnant trend and have finally decided to do something about it. From the creation of the New Generation of Republican Women right here in Indiana -- a professional women's group dedicated to involving women in all aspects of the political process -- to Norway's legislative ruling requiring all businesses to have at least two women on their board of directors, women are gaining ground.

Misleading ratings

·

The controversial video game, "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" has unraveled so much debate, that its new rating (Adults Only) has infringed on many stores' ability to sell it. The "AO" rating comes after the realization that by downloading an Internet "mod," sexually explicit scenes can be unlocked only on the PC version of the game. These sexually explicit scenes caused for the rating to be changed from Mature to Adult Only. Rockstar Games, the maker of the GTA series, plans to release a "clean" version of San Andreas soon.

Superstitions and baseball: So happy together

·

Baseball and superstitions have been entwined since the first day the game was ever played, which is well described in the book of Genesis, if I'm not mistaken. Superstitions in baseball have long included not touching the foul lines when you run off the field, and avoiding speaking to or even making eye contact with a pitcher in the middle of perfect game or no-hitter.

Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, it's off to work I go -- in a gas-guzzling auto that empties my pocketbook just as fast as it's filled. Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, it's off to school I go -- with no where to park and congestion to boot. Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho.

What we can learn from kids

·

What is it about kids? Yes, they can be cute and adorable sometimes. But it's their young minds that fascinate me. They don't comprehend the same things that occupy us old folks, and they sometimes could honestly care less about them most of the time. That's why the adults of the world are slowly being pulled into a black hole; adults care too little about too much and don't ever really take a break.
