TODAY is the day the NBC TV program turns 65 and may become eligible for social security. In the spirit of pride, I worked as a writer-producer on the iconic program for a few years and had the pleasure of serving with T Brokaw, J Pauley, G Shalett, and W Scott among many other talented professionals. In fact, when I was a writer-producer there, Al Roker was Willard Scott's backup weatherman.

The morning TV program has been waking Americans up for 65 years. http://www.today.com/news/watch-65-years-today-fly-65-seconds-t106429

Significant changes have taken place in the policy landscape surrounding cannabis legalization, production, and use.

Paraskevidekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia is a morbid, irrational fear of Friday the 13th

Today happens to be the first of two Friday the 13ths that will fall in 2017 and some fear it may be some sort of a strange omen.

Donald Trump will try to use his first news conference in nearly six months today to lay out a plan to separate himself from his business empire to try to erase questions about potential conflicts of interest, but Russia is likely to take center stage.

The president-elect will likely face questions about his bid to warm US relations with Moscow after American and British intelligence concluded Russia used cyber hacking to tilt the election in Trump's favor.

We Need Young Leaders

Submitted by Admin on

During the last few months, I've been pondering the following thoughts. How old is too old to serve as President, Prime Minister and, or Royalty?

It is a somewhat curious and unexplained paradox that during earlier times, when life expectancy was much lower than it is nowadays, politicians were generally much older, whereas today, when life expectancy is much greater, it's my belief, that leaders worldwide ought to be younger. In fact, leaders should consider retiring at age 70 in order to make room for younger blood. Earth is in Urgent Care.
