My partner died on May 3rd, the day before Ernie passed. I find great solace at the picture of the two of them entering heaven side by side. Ernie was one his heroes. Both were heroes to me. A lovely tribute. Thanks, Jim.

Re: CEO Pay Cuts and Hybrid Road Trips by the Big Three

I keep hearing the Big Three referred to as monsters. "Let them fail." "Let them die." That might be true in the larger corporate sense, but there are thousands of working class families that make up these corporate communities. As a life-long Michigander, I've seen my grandfather, uncles, cousins, and friends give their lives to US auto industry. There may be other manufacturing jobs created in the far future, but when and where? What are the families supposed to do in the mean time? Before we throw the book at the CEOs, remember they aren't they ones that will be loosing their homes and suffering to stay afloat--the trades people and line workers will be.

If you didn't vote, you're not allowed to criticize the policies of the next four years. You have a voice and chose not to use it. What a waste.

Amen, Chuck. Thank you. I've been waiting for the faith perspective to speak up. This world sees the money in my bank account as mine, but I see it as God's.
