January 18th, 2010 · 2 Comments
This morning, a reader shared a link to a USA TODAY online poll in which readers are asked to answer the question, “Does the Second Amendment give individuals the right to bear arms?” It was not until after I clicked “Yes” that I noticed the poll had been online for approximately 26 months.

‘Cash for Clunkers’ Meets ‘Cash for Coffins’
August 20th, 2009 · 5 Comments
According to an article in USA TODAY this morning, the demand for taxpayer-funded burials — let’s call it “Cash for Coffins” — is on the rise.

Swine Flu Not Front-Page Worthy for USA TODAY
April 27th, 2009 · No Comments
Front-page editors at USA TODAY International Edition must be wishing they had picked a different top-of-page teaser to appear on the front-page of their print edition published today.
