Mark shares Rita's thoughts on men
State higher education incentives should be based on market principles, says Michigan Sen. 9px; color: #977f46 ! Guest blogger Mark Raymond of Swartz Creek chimes in several times a week. So here's what happened: we refinanced the house this year in order to do two things: remodel the kitchen and take a special trip for our 25th anniversary. Most of you know our special trip was supposed to be to Ireland, but that proved to be too cost prohibitive. So I decided if I couldn't have my dream vacation, then I was bound and determined my wife would have hers. All of Bonnie's life she's wanted to go whale watching ... so I took the deposit for the Ireland trip and put it down on an Alaskan cruise. If you buy your husband or boyfriend a video camera, lock the bathroom door for the first few weeks. Men are very confident. My husband is so confident that when he watches sports on television, he thinks that if he concentrates really hard, he can help his team. If his team is in trouble, he...

Doping overshadows weightlifting again
Forgot Password? STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- The spotlight should be on the "Iranian Hercules," Turkey's "Little Dynamo" or China's prospects of winning 10 gold medals, one for each of its competitors.Instead, the sport of weightlifting yet again is sullied by doping scandals ahead of an Olympics.Bulgaria has withdrawn its entire team after 11 athletes tested positive for steroids, and Greece is only sending four competitors after 11 Greek weightlifters were suspended for doping.Both teams are repeat offenders. Bulgaria, a weightlifting powerhouse, was roiled by a doping scandal at the 2000 Olympics, when three athletes returned their gold medals after positive drug tests.In Athens four years later, Greek weightlifter Leonidas Sampanis was stripped of his bronze medal in the 62 kilo (137-pound) category for taking a banned substances.The repercussions go far beyond the guilty individuals, because they cast suspicion over the entire sport."The scandal that is happening now could mean the actu...

Politics and humor have a longstanding relationship
Not active. Not active. Q. What do you call George Washington's false teeth? Pardon the corn, but I'm practicing for Monday, Presidential Joke Day.

It originated on Aug. 11, 1984, when President Ronald Reagan, who was testing a microphone in preparation for a radio address and didn't know the feed was live, joked: "My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you I just signed legislation that outlaws Russia forever. Politics and humor go way back. The University of Wolverhampton, England compiled a list of the world's 10 oldest jokes, predating even George Burns. No. 2 in the list had political overtones. A 1600 B.C. comedian took on Pharaoh Snofru when he quipped: "How do you entertain a bored pharaoh? A sense of humor is an asset, when running for office or sorting candidates in the voting booth. Studies have proven that laughter has physical and mental benefits. A...
