Kim Jong Il: Hero or Villain?

It was a banner year for super heroes.  A record number of villains were brought to justice in less than twelve months. World renowned evil doers; Muammar Gaddafi, Hosni Mubarak, Osama Bin Laden and most recently Kim Jong Il exited the stage of breaking news and have now taken their place in world history alongside Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun.However it now appears that there is some debate regarding Kim Jong Il’s level of evilness. Previously Kim was believed to enforce executions, mass…See More

Keeping up with the Kardashians Wedding, Divorce and Gift Returns

How could Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries be getting divorced after only 72 days of marriage? I’ve stayed on diets longer than 72 days. Kim and Kris, or as I like to call them, Double K, appeared to be the one Hollywood couple that would stand united through thick and thin. I was completely shocked when I learned of the couple’s split, mostly because I didn’t know they had married. Still, it makes we wonder, “If Double K can’t make it, then who can?”Even though I wasn’t invited to the…See More

Why doesn't NASA know where and when a satellite lands?

It’s all about the drag. ‘Drag’ has slowly but surely pulled the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) out of orbit, down towards earth. All satellites experience drag but most rely on onboard propulsion systems to maintain altitude and keep the satellite in its intended orbit. After 19 years in space, UARS propulsion system is no longer operational. Without a propulsion system the satellite cannot counteract the drag and reboost itself into orbit. The big question on everyone’s mind…See More

Save the U.S. Postal Service: legalize mail order marijuana

When did the post office go bankrupt? I went on vacation a few weeks ago, so did I miss something? Every time I go to the post office there is a line five people deep. My post office seems like it has enough business to stay afloat. It isn’t like a pizza place in an ill placed strip mall. Indeed, even a poorly located pizza place can stay in business if it has delivery. Last time I checked, the post office delivers.Who’s in charge over there? The Postal Service accumulated debt as a result of…See More

Zipping through the Zapper at Airport Security

 I’m not a morning person and I recently made the mistake of scheduling a flight at 7:00am. Amazingly, there were at least 50,000 people (and a dog) who also had a 7am flight. The line at security snaked all the way back to the parking lot.There are now multiple security options for travelers to select and I had plenty of time in line to review the ample security option signage. The first sign read “If you prefer, you may be searched in private, your security is our priority.” No wonder the…See More
