  • The worst thing we can do in life is give up
    It was one of those moments when cruel reality intrudes upon delusion, and you wish cruel reality would just mind its own business for a change.
  •  Miss California controversy is anything but thing of beauty
    For all you husbands out there, which of these constitutes the greater threat to your traditional, heterosexual marriage?
  •  Torture is un-American as it gets
    Didn't then-President George W. Bush say in a news conference on Nov. 7, 2005, "We do not torture"? Then why did we torture suspected terrorists _ some guilty and others innocent _ dozens and even hundreds of times?
  •  Searching for a happy ending in unhappy times
    Goodbye, cruel world! I mean, what's the use? I'm a newspaper guy, and folks in my profession _ rarely peppy and optimistic even in the best of times _ have been particularly funereal lately. Sadly, with plenty of good reason.

  •  Juarez goes from tawdry to terrifying
    The five college guys in a Chevy were stopped in traffic on a bridge going from El Paso toward the dog racing track in Juarez, Mexico.
  •  Amid errors, committing to credibility
    Sometimes, we screw up. Sure, everybody does, but not as obviously as a newspaper.
  •  Sammies continue tradition
    Strong words were shouted and there was fear that fisticuffs would result as the deadline for the fourth annual Sammy Awards approached.
