What Will You Do With Your Rebate Check?
If you're like me, you're highly anticipating that rebate check! Even though I'm not scheduled to get mine until May 9, I know exactly what I'm going to do with it.
I've always considered tax refunds as free money, and back in my less responsible days, I'd use it to buy something I had my eye on, but this year I'm not even letting that money get comfortable in my bank account — it's going straight to my bills.
Dear Poll: Do Stars Get Preferential Driving Treatment?
We hear of celebrities getting in a car accident, or getting pulled over for DUI charges almost every day. Lindsay Lohan is notorious for "paparazzi generated" fender benders and her pal Paris Hilton is constantly being photographed driving away from night clubs with friends piled into every crevice of her vehicle.
Fame seems to buy you a ticket to ride in Hollywood, which doesn't provide the younger generation with any sense of consequence.

IOC to Come Up With Better Guidelines For Ambiguous Sex
The treatment of 18-year-old champion runner Caster Semenya by the International Association of Athletic Federations (IAAF) left me scratching my head. How could officials publicly call into question Caster's sex, knowing the profoundly personal nature of the matter? Their actions were so degrading that Caster was rumored to be in hiding after the tests reportedly revealed that she was intersex.
Radio Show Halted After Having Girl Admit Her Rape On-Air
The Australian media is taking an irresponsible and extremely unsettling "joke" about rape seriously. The country's highest-rated morning show — "The Kyle and Jackie O Show" — has been canceled for now, after it had a 14-year-old girl submit to an on-air lie detector test during which she admitted to being raped. The host, Kyle Sandilands, has also been fired from his job as a judge on Australian Idol.
Australian Court Grants Teen Breast Removal
A teenager in Australia, born a biological female, has recently been given permission by a family court to get a double-mastectomy in order to more resemble the gender he identifies with — male. Alex, a 17-year-old, has been on hormone treatment since he was 13 to prevent menstruation, and he had to petition the court because he is a minor.
Family Court chief justice Diana Bryant showed great sensitivity to Alex's situation.
Obama Spells Out the State of the Economy With Confidence
Tonight Barack Obama addressed a joint session of Congress and an even more important audience — the American people. Since it was technically not a "state of the union" address, I think it's safe to call the speech the "state of the economy" address.
Hoping to turn the page on tough economic times, the president read the country a litany of reasons for the crisis.
Are You Outraged by $18 Billion in Wall Street Bonuses?
If you still manage to have a job on Wall Street, you might not realize that the good ol' days are over. Yesterday news broke that Wall Street bankers gave themselves $18.4 billion in bonuses last year — that's the same amount they received in 2004. President Obama angrily reacted, saying:
That is the height of irresponsibility.
Sunday Confessional: I Lost My Sister's Favorite Jacket
I'm a forgetful person by nature and my older sister takes every opportunity possible to call me irresponsible.
Friday night her boyfriend surprised her and took her away for the night to celebrate their anniversary. She asked me to feed her cat while she was gone since I have a set of her keys, so while at her place, I browsed through her closet.

John McCain Tackles the Economy — and the "Irresponsible"
Continuing the theme of co-opting "it's the economy stupid," John McCain delivered a speech moments ago with his thoughts on the housing crunch. Possibly going beyond Clinton's speech yesterday, McCain called the economic situation a "crisis."
Pegging blame on the mortgage fiasco, McCain said, "Any assistance must be temporary and must not reward people who were irresponsible at the expense of those who weren't."
