  1. The myth of the 'lazy' unemployed

    Ah, another person writes in with the true skinny on why people in "the real world" will never get off unemployment ("Payroll taxes and unemployment benefits: two bad decisions," Dec. 28). Funny, all the people I know who are unemployed are trying...

  3. If you think paying unemployment insurance here is bad, try Paraguay

    Imagine my surprise this morning when I saw letters from apparently well-fed individuals complaining about paying unemployment insurance. For all those beleaguered employers who don't want to pay unemployment benefits I've got a solution: Hire illegal...

  5. Payroll taxes and unemployment benefits: two bad decisions

    Either your editorial board drinks Obama Kool-Aid or you have zero understanding of basic economics. Your editorial about the so-called tax break for the middle class shows this clearly ("The GOP tax hike," Dec. 22). I am pleased that those who write...

  15. Great Khali as world champion? No thanks, WWE

    I cannot buy the Great Khali as a world champion, despite his status as a former champion. In fact, I cringe a little every time the Great Khali wrestles. The thought of him in an Elimination Chamber match (for the second time), enclosed in a structure where much could physically go wrong, makes me cringe even more. Unfortunately, I have been disappointed by more singles matches involving Great Khali than I have enjoyed.

  17. 10 things I learned from watching every Royal Rumble

    In 2010, my tag team partner Jimmy Korderas and I made the (questionable) decision to watch every single WrestleMania event leading up to WrestleMania 27. We made a podcast for every edition of the &ldquo;Grand Daddy of them all&rdquo; and posted them on our <a href=&quot;http://radio.thescore.com/programs/aftermath" target="_blank">#AftermathRadio page</a>, and called them our WrestleMania LookBacks.

  19. Payroll tax deadline approaches — again

    The latest news in Washington on the payroll tax cut is that there's not much news. To the surprise of no one, negotiators in Congress are exactly where they were last December when the tax break was extended two months &mdash; gridlocked.

  21. Some unemployed people may be lazy, but most aren't

    I find it disconcerting and quite troubling as I read opinions being sent in to this paper stating that people collecting unemployment are just lazy and aren't looking for work because they're getting money for nothing and have no incentive ("Benefits...

  23. Fudging the numbers on unemployment

    The Obama administration is touting the latest unemployment numbers released last week by the U.S. Department of Labor as proof its policies are working. But a closer look at the actual number of able-bodied people who are willing to work, but are not, reveals a different picture.
