The Hot Button - Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

Answer: members of Congress, apparently. Don't get me wrong, I'm all in favor of millionaires. Some of my best friends are millionaires. And as a thousandaire, I hope one day to join their ranks.

The Hot Button - Recycled Content

I have to admit, my outrage levels just aren't what they used to be. Some weeks, it's a struggle to find a "Hot Button" topic to get me going. I was worried that I might have to recycle some old content this week, and then it hit me: recycling *is* a hot button for me.
