...ultimate blame for Detroit goes to the voters who elected Coleman Young mayor five times despite his constant race-baiting of white suburbanites and his unwillingness to work with corporations to keep them in the city to help jump-start the economy. Hopefully, Detroit voters will now realize that electing politicians who scapegoat others instead of finding solutions are not looking out for their best interests...
Save more. It's never easy. But it's not as difficult as you may think, and cheaping out is cool today. "It's time to become an obsessive saver," says Dave Ramsey, author of The Total Money Makeover. Start looking at what you spend on cars, travel, cable and phone services. You may be able to save hundreds of dollars a month right there. Refinance the mortgage while rates are still low.

...just tickled a bit, said the first recipients of the 2009 H1N1 flu-vaccine nasal spray, which rolled off production lines into cities including New York and Chicago this week, just in time for the official start of the influenza season on Oct. 4. Not everyone who wanted the vaccine got it, though. Only 2.4 million of the government's total order of 251 million doses were released. That isn't nearly enough to satisfy even the early adopters--especially since states like New York have mandated flu vaccinations for all health-care workers. But federal health officials decided...
