...dismayed by TIME'S decision to legitimize Coulter and the venom she spews by stating that "she helps set the nation's tone." Without fail, she lowers the level of discourse on whatever issue she targets for her latest bilious tirade against liberalism and Democrats. If Coulter's screeching caricature of political commentary is setting the tone, the nation is the worse...

After fighting compensation claims in the courts for five years, Union Carbide paid out $470 million, but victims often received only $500 for injuries...
...we’ll never have games like these again if the Red Sox win the World Series. What made the battles between the Yankees and Red Sox special was the venom Sox fans had for the Yankees. Think about the Red Sox’s favorite chant, “Yankees suck!” It doesn’t mean the Yankees are terrible. Any team that wins more games than you, has won more World Series than you and has historically owned you in the postseason isn?...
