Ok, I admit it. I got caught watching the wrong fight. I thought the real fight was going to be in Nevada but it was in New York. In Nevada Barack Obama took an L to Hillary Clinton for the second time setting up a showdown in South Carolina that will be even more interesting while in Madison Square Garden in NY two old fighters put on what I heard was a decent showing. Well I guess you can’t be right all of the time, go figure.

On Saturday night, I’ll be prepared! Beverage of choice on hand and ready to go. Hot wings dripping with blue cheese dressing. Comfortable clothing and my favorite seat on the couch ready to ride out the night.
I’ll grab the remote and turn on the fight on CNN. Yeah that’s right CNN if you thought I was talking about two over the hill fighters on pay per view (Roy Jones Jr. and Felix Trinidad) you’ve got it all wrong. Why pay 50+ bucks for pretty much guaranteed disappointment when I can …

President Bush plans to lay out the principles behind his preferred stimulus today, although he will not provide details. The leading ideas in the administration are to give rebates of up to $800 to each taxpayer and introduce tax incentives for business investment, but administration officials said no decision has been made on exactly what to do to try to prevent a recession.

This is a very powerful, educational site about events leading up to and after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
This is one of the best sites I’ve seen on the web! The Fox station in Memphis has pulled archive video that shows the events that were happening around the city during the sanitation workers strike in the days that led up to the assassination in Memphis. They also have archived video of important events that have happened since in relation to the King family. This site provides a …

Some reader responses:
“CS- My opinion if you’re married you don’t wear your ring you are trying to hide something. You either don’t have a ring for some odd reason or you just don’t want to be married or you want to have your cake and eat it too. I love showing off that I’m married because my husband is wonderful and he’s the best husband ever.”
“Big J- Personally, I don’t like to be seen without my wedding ring. For me, I just feel more stately when I’ve got my ring …

A young woman walks into a room. Her mother announces that she’s getting married, and that is immediately met with a chorus of jeers and comments such as, “Don’t do it”, “Don’t make that mistake” and so on and so forth…
My question is, “Is Marriage Not Cool”? This type of thing seems like the norm. In the past year I had a coworker who got married and she confirmed what I already knew, that everyone was basically telling her it wasn’t going to work and how hard it was going to …

Her View
I think it is just a preference. Some people like to wear jewelry and some don’t. Personally, I love to wear my ring, it’s like I’m saying “I’z married now.” Plus I have too many kids to be walking around without that ring on
HIS VIEW
Unless you work doing something where jewelery may not make sense I don’t know why you …

Ok, I must admit it. I watch American Idol and it premiers tonight on Fox. Hey American Idol may be the only show we can sit down as a family and watch. We sure can’t sit down and watch anything on …. VH1 for example. Just the commercials on MTV are crazy. Forget about the movie channels and there’s no chance I’m watching Sponge Bob after a long day of work. The only show that actually engages every member of the household from young to old and I think that …

This question came from one of our readers in the UK:
HER VIEW
Why did I get married? I got married for various reasons: we were in love, he is a good dependable man, he likes my kids…etc.. But I think the main reason I got married was because it felt right. There was nothing tugging at me on the inside …..questioning my decision. It was 100% yes, when he asked. Before I met my husband, I was in a long relationship for more than 10 years. Nothing felt right about …
