    Pro-Life Means… Pro Breast Cancer? Pro-STD? Anti-Contraception?

    Heeding the call for JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, the repugnant Republican bullies vote to defund Planned Parenthood. Because we all need more UN-planned parenthood, more sexually transmitted diseases, more breast cancer going undetected, and more forced pregnancies. Meanwhile, these same jerkwads will soon be voting to cut benefits for poor children – the babies must be birthed, but after that parents, and poor women who won’t have easy access to contraception, are on their own. How do Republicans sleep at night, the hypocrites? Thank GOD I had my tubes tied years ago. Young women, if it weren’t for the Democratic Senate…

    Time To Kiss “Dear John” Goodbye In Business Emails?

    In my work life, I frequently send emails to people I don’t know, quite often to people in other countries. The standard opening in our company is supposed to be: “Dear Business Traveler,” … which I use most often when forwarding confirmation emails that come to our generic inbox. I use a rather anonymous tone and the generic signature block, because the emails are automatically generated to frequent travelers whose member accounts have become associated with our office. But when emailing someone I’ve spoken to, or to someone in Britain I “know,” I open with: “Hello (Firstname),” or even “Hallo,…

    Southwest Pilot Holds Flight For Man Rushing To See Dying Grandson. Kudos! @SouthwestAir

    Big WIN for WN on this story – it’s a terribly sad story, but this pilot’s exemplary actions make it easier to take. My condolences to Mr. Dickinson and his family.
