• Best and worst supermarkets -- shoppers tell all

  Tue Apr 3, 2012
  • I'm in Oregon. Usually shop Thriftway (a NW chain), or Fred Meyer (Kroger). Lines at FM are usually longer, but they have many checkers working. Thriftway is smaller and generally more expensive, but it's less than a mile from the house. Fred's is 4 miles.

• NJ Gov. Christie vetoes same-sex marriage bill

  • In matters of civil rights, voters can easily decide that some groups are not entitled to all the rights that they enjoy themselves. Just as in California with Prop8, they may find that the law they pass by a vote of the people is unconstitutional.

• In Virginia, the power of one woman's story

  Fri Feb 3, 2012
  • I think that by not voting, it was a touch cowardly. If you feel strongly that you cannot make such a decision for another person, vote against it. Let your own voice be heard in a sea of lunacity.

• Michelle Obama and the evolution of a first lady

  Fri Jan 6, 2012
  • In the old days, the First Lady smiled and waved and didn't say or do much. Eleanor Roosevelt was a game changer there...but no one truly followed her lead until Hillary Clinton. Michelle Obama has waded through the fray to find her own path as First Lady.

• No day to remember a hero

  • You can go back to Warren Harding and Teapot Dome...maybe farther back than that...but that's the 20th century. Ah McKinley helped the US take over Hawaii...sold out the natives and made the white man king. Especially those who wanted the land for sugar, pineapple, etc.

• Some retailers pull back from Black Friday arms race

  Fri Nov 18, 2011
  • While I'm not religious, I am against stores being open on Thanksgiving or Christmas. Even the retail workers need down time!

• Boehner calls GOP deficit plan a 'fair offer'

  Tue Nov 15, 2011
  • Why do we care what Boehner thinks? The fact that he thinks this does not make it true. Obama is doing his best to be that conservative democrat under this congress. Personally, I'm not much interested in actions that history has proved will fail.

• Fourth woman details sexual harassment allegations against Cain

  Mon Nov 7, 2011
  • It's very interesting to see so many males calling females liars for not standing up and shouting about what happened. A true lack of understand of what victims of sex crimes go through. If they stand up and tell us just what happened the court of public opinion goes after them.
