Going hungry in America
The number of American households who couldn't reasonably sustain food for their family rose from 13 million in 2007 to 17 million households in 2008, according to a new report by the Food and Drug Administration. The jump represents the highest number since the FDA started keeping track in 1995. -
Organ music: Striking a better chord
We got it in the early '70s: a Kimball organ that sat in our living room for 20 years or more. It had single buttons that played whole chords. Other buttons played cymbals, marimba and other rhythmic beats. -
Mayors Motorcade -- 51 years and counting
As the leaves fall and we prepare our homes for Thanksgiving and the upcoming holiday season, you may not be aware that there are several thousand citizens whose only home is one of Georgia's seven regional mental health hospitals.

For Veterans Day -- Real troop support
Ah, Veterans Day is upon us. What better time to show our support for our men and women in uniform? But have we really been supporting them? -
'It is the Democrats who are in charge ...'
Dear Editor, I am extremely confused by Mr. Roger Earl's letter to the editor on health care. It is the Democrats who are in charge of every part of our government now, not the Republicans. It is the Democrats who will fine you $15,000 or send you to jail if you do not purchase health insurance. -
'A vote to provide secure and stable coverage ...'
Dear editor, I cannot get ins. or pay $18,000 a yr. I will vote to remove the GOP. The party of no no no no no no no etc. -
Breaking the prenup
For liberals, Election Day '08 was the marriage of hope and opportunity. Election Day '09: not so much. More like a summons from a partner's divorce lawyer to give a deposition. -

Eye exams
Each fall I visit an ophthalmologist for my annual eye exam. The practice began when I took a "Driver's Education" course during my junior year in high school. -
