JetBlue is offering a $599 pass for all you can fly. The offer includes all taxes and fees and appears to be a real steal until you read the limitations. The pass is only good between the dates of September 8, 2009 and October 8, 2009. Also you are limited to only 56 destinations where [...]

Before I begin, let me state that I am not writing this article to put blame on any of the participants involved in what I would like to call the ‘Beer Summit’. But more of an observation of what happened after the incident that has made this entire fiasco border on insanity.

This new legislation is designed to hopefully stem the tide of new tobacco users and control how the tobacco industry operates here in the United States. But we all know that this is going to add more regulations [...]

Recently there was a news program which highlighted the facts that some banks were having new homes demolished after being foreclosed upon. But when I read this article about a home being demolished by mistake, it shows just how ludicrous this has become. The tale of woe begins by the owner of the home getting [...]

I have been reading many differences of opinions when it comes to the demise of newspapers here in the United States.
