  9. 10 things you might not know about losers

    We're at a loss to explain two things: Why JPMorgan Chase took a $2 billion bath on risky trades, and how the <a href="http://chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs">Chicago Cubs</a> can maintain such futility, holding the worst record in the National League.

  10. Memorial Day: A Lot More Than Hot Dogs & The D-Day Museum

    Most folks think of Memorial Day as the day that kicks off summer or the day that the great-American-hot dog notches its first outdoor cooking of the year. For those that commemorate the holiday with solemn remembrances of Our war-dead this is mostly confined to wars of the last 75 years: WW II, Korea, Vietnam and most recently Iraq &amp; Afghanistan. While these wars certainly deserve their well earned, somber Memorials they are not exclusive.

    No one calls the War of 1812 America's finest hour. But it had its moments.
    No one calls the War of 1812 America's finest hour. But it had its moments. Resentful over treatment by the British and determined to enhance national sovereignty, Henry Clay and a small group of "War Hawks" in the Twelfth Congress pushed an unprepared...
