This week, many teens and young adults have had one thing on their minds: getting their hands on the latest video game consoles to hit the market. While many may enjoy playing SoCom: Navy Seal, if Charlie Rangel gets his way, they'll get the chance to act out their fantasies.

I commute. Actually, I commute quite a bit - on average, I would say I spend at least 3 hours in my car daily. Instead of cursing the cost of living in Southern California, I decided to make the best of the situation by investing in an XM Radio system.

Please follow me beyond the cut as I explore his latest allegation....

Everyday, I am amazed by the actions of individuals and politicians towards our servicemen and women, and their families. In a small town in Colorado, a mother has been fighting a legal battle for her son's savings account. Her legal foe? The director of the local funeral parlor... who happens to be the town's mayor.

Please forgive me if someone has already posted on this topic, and if they have, I'll delete this. Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, now the Feds are taking down licence plate numbers of cars at protest sites.
