End game for Honduras

The small nation of Honduras has struck an accord which will likely let the U.S. save face for its erroneous meddling up to this point. In this article by Mary Anastasia O'Grady, who has cogently been covering this mess from the very beginning she states...

"Finally the U.S. and the Organization of American States (OAS) have agreed to step aside and allow Honduran institutions to decide if Mr. Zelaya is to be reinstated. Without international meddling, it is quite likely that Mr. Zelaya will be refused the presidency once more."

Let's hope this is the case. The U.S. really needs to step back and examine its recent actions of stiff-arming its allies and coddling its adversaries. No one thought a small, beleaguered nation such as Honduras could stand up to so many meddlers, but it has. So, once and for all, let the Hondurans decide what is best for Honduras and let them continue on their path towards a peace-loving, democratic nation.

11 famous people who overcame dyslexia

The one who surprised me the most on the list, was number 10, Agatha Christie. Growing up I read all of her stories and enjoyed her plots and the sleuths (be it Tommy and Tuppence, Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot) who solved the mysteries she concocted. She was such a prolific author I just can't imagine her having this disorder and writing as much and as well as she did throughout her career, but she did.

Dolphins are now 3 - 4

And we owe it all to Ted Ginn Jr. Two kickoff returns of 100 yards or more for touchdowns in the same quarter. That is just sick but that's what he did and boy did the Fins need it. The special teams and defense were responsible for 18 of the 30 points the Dolphins scored to beat the New York Jets 30 - 25 yesterday. No player has gone from the coach's doghouse to coach's adulation faster than Ginn did on Sunday. Benched because of his poor play the week before Ginn redeemed himself in a stellar manner. Miami is now 3 - 0 in the division and 0 - 4 elsewhere. Next up, the Patriots at Gillette stadium.

Can Citigroup carry its own weight?

Uncle Vik says yes. Others are not so sure. Sleeplessness and a global presence has its price. Citi has been trying to get ahold of some Slimfast lately by selling some business units, but is still bloated with hoarded cash. Perhaps it should pay back the TARP money.
