Larry H. Miller can do whatever he pleases and it won't matter to me since I won't do business with him. I worked for LHM briefly as a salesman at one of his car dealerships. I got fired because I wouldn't lie to a couple who were looking at leasing a car. They weren't thrilled with what we had on t...

I think that the saddest part of the DVDs is that the original music has been replaced by Garage Band generated noise. Plus they have dubbed new lines into the show to replace some of the greatest lines because the lines were lyrics. The music was an important part of the music, like the scene where...

Re: Presidential election "If's".

...you plan to vote for either candidate, but you can't name the current Secretary of State, Speaker of the House, your state's governor or your two U.S. Senators and Congressional representatives, you are an idiot (and the fact that you CAN name the last five "American Idol" winners won'...

At this point I can't fathom why anyone would bother trying to impeach the President and/or the Vice President. They will be out of office long before you could get Congress moving on this and we have a number of other pressing issues that need to be taken care of as soon as possible.

I did see him not too long ago in New Orleans at Preservation Hall on a Sunday morning. He sat in and played with the band. So it wasn't a Harry Connick Jr. concert but it was really nice.

Unfortunately the Democratic leadership has refrained from pursuing the impeachment of Bush and Cheney only because they want a Democrat to win the White House this year and impeachment proceedings would have run the risk of making the Democrats appear petty. However, if this nation ever had a pres...

The airline cards only make sense if you charge enough to get enough points for a free trip in two years. 3 years of annual fees is about what a flight would cost. (plus higher interest rates and late charges, so you don't want to carry a balance with these cards). Also, you want to check with the ...

First welcome to Buffettnews! I'm really sorry to hear about your terrible experience.

And for those that think this is because Obama is from Illinois, the Tribune never endorsed Adlai Stevenson when he was the Democratic nomi...
