• Nine banks under scrutiny for overdraft protection programs

  • I'm one of those paycheck to paycheck people, and I have always had a small line of credit (i.e. ready reserve or anytime credit) of $300 attached to my checking account.

• Should little boys be allowed to have long hair?

  Wed Mar 21, 2012
  • I don't know about you, but I wasn't about to raise my son to fight battles that he neither understood nor cared about. A "real" man might do several different things; punching the other 5 year old isn't necessarily one of them.

  • The article clearly quotes the mother as saying she couldn't bear to take her son to the barber. My own son had longer hair (think mullet) until he started Kindergarten. Grandma didn't like us getting rid of the curls, but we were the parents and we knew teasing would ensue.

• Priest who denied communion to lesbian suspended

  Mon Mar 12, 2012

  Sun Jan 22, 2012
  • Oh, and both my son and my niece have pictures of themselves in a dog cage...they each crawled in and shut the door themselves, even doing a little panting and pawing. Sometimes cute is just cute. (of course, the duct tape adds a different dimension).

  • There are two things that people haven't mentioned: first, the grandmother was right there and helped the girl unbound herself. Second, the article doesn't mention how the police even got involved.

• Til death do us part: Marriage to dead girlfriend draws mixed reaction

  Sat Jan 21, 2012
  • The story: creepy and weird, and IMO, solely a publicity stunt. Regarding the "corp" comment, marrying a corp is like marrying a troop.

• Facebook's 'Like' button gets new friends: 'LOVE!' 'BOO!' 'OMG!' and many more

  Thu Jan 19, 2012
  • I wonder if FB has avoided the "dislike" and "thumbs down" because people could confuse the "rating" of one of those as they dislike the actual comment.
