What makes you happy? What makes you sad? What makes you mad? When I go through articles on a daily basis, I feel those emotions and many, many more. Well, I am going to try and find something for all of those feelings, even happiness, which I feel we need more of.

A must see video for Memorial Day.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was passed in July of that year. This legislation came into being in the wake of the Enron and WorldCom scandals. Here is an excerpt from the remarks your President made the day he signed it into law:

This law says to every dishonest corporate leader: you will be exposed and punished; the era of low standards and false profits is over; no boardroom in America is above or beyond the law.

Now read this and its companion linked in this article under "Also See." This basically tells how WorldCom (now MCI again) received a slap on the wrist: stole $11 billion, fined $500 million. It also tells how MCI received $772 million in government contracts in 2002. So, in essence, they are up $272 million on the government as of last year. No one from WorldCom is in jail and $500 million is the punishment.

Two perspectives on our media. One outside the US and one inside, but neither gives a raving review.

Hiho, hiho, it's off to Iran we go. See U.S. Eyes Pressing Uprising In Iran and Pentagon sets sights on a new Tehran regime.

Tom Toles makes me happy.
