The Proposal: not just another romantic comedy

I propose you see this movie, especially if you’re into romantic comedies, attractive people and the ever-fantastic Betty White. Even if you’re not into romantic comedies, two out of three isn’t too bad. The film stars Ryan Reynolds as Andrew Paxton, the assistant to the executive editor-in-chief of a book publishing company, Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock). Bullock’s character is bossy, vicious and hated by all … Continue reading The Proposal: not just another romantic comedy

If we don’t help, who will?

Abraham Lincoln once said, “Don’t leave anything for tomorrow that can be done today.” Last Wednesday, when President Obama addressed the nation, he seemed to be living by those words. He is driving the country to take action on our healthcare issues, and he is doing it with a sense of urgency. American healthcare obviously has its problems. With some 46 million Americans who do … Continue reading If we don’t help, who will?
