No I'm NOt ready for Fall. To me Fall signals the onset of leaves falling from trees, flowers dying off, & lawns turning brown. I don't mean to sound depressing, it's just that Summer is my favorite season. Before you know it we'll be scraping frost from our windshields & shivering while the car warms up. There IS an up side. I love sitting on my porch on a cool day with a fire in the Chimenea. I love the smell of hardwood burning and the colors of the leaves. – David Binder on

So when the Rich have been taxed into middle-class mediocrity, who do you think Congress will go after next? – John Cook on Which of These Government Programs Could You Live Without?
