Review: 'My Life in Ruins'

Nia Vardalos plays most of "My Life in Ruins" with a fixed toothpaste smile, which is no wonder because her acting in the film feels uncomfortably close to her posing for a portrait. Rarely has a film centered on a character so superficial and unconvincing, played with such unrelenting sameness. I didn't hate it so much as feel sorry for it.

Brian E. Koegle: Agencies target businesses to generate revenue

It should come as no surprise to learn that the economy has been weak for many industries throughout California for the better part of the last year.

Karen Maleck-Whiteley: Two, four, six, eight, who do you appreciate?

"Two, four, six, eight, who do we appreciate?" That phrase popped into my mind this last weekend as I stood looking into the eyes of someone I didn't know well, while we held hands and expressed how much we appreciated knowing each other.

Tom Campbell: Drink it like it’s water? Only if it IS water

Maybe you remember when you were a kid and you poured a giant glass of orange juice, and your mother said something like this: "Take it easy! Orange juice is expensive, and you're drinking it like it's water!"

Taxes and the Left

Compulsion against peaceful citizens is immoral. Likewise, extracting taxes for activities that benefit some citizens, but not others, is also immoral.
