Naturally, I never met my maternal grandmother, she was gone long before I was even a twinkle in anybody's eye. My grandfather raised four kids by himself, through the Great Depression.

Last week, in a 5-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court decided, in a case that may set a precedent for generations, that corporate crime really does pay.
I think it's safe to say that crime always increases during the summer months. This is because I assume that most criminals curl up under their quilts and watch "Dancing With The Desperate American Idol Gladiators" seven nights a week during the other months of the year.
