Marvel at “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
It’s the fall season again and that can only mean one thing: new shows, including Marvel’s “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” By now, many people have probably seen the movie “The Avengers,” which featured many Marvel movie superheroes fighting to save the world from Loki, Thor’s evil younger brother, and a band of evil aliens called the Chitauri.

If you think I’m making up the term, take a quick peek at mensactivism.org, nationalcenterformen.org or mensrightsassociation.org.

Congress’ war against America’s credibility
Congratulations. You are living through the slow decline of American influence. Our second completely self-inflicted fiscal crisis in two years has left the world wondering if it can trust the American government to be caretakers of the biggest economy in the world, whether the U.S. dollar can maintain its status as the world’s reserve currency, […]
