This week will be the start of the IRS sending out tax rebates. They tell everyone to go out and spend it to raise the economy, but alot of people are planning to save it. What are you going to do with it?

I'm pretty fed up with the discussion on the Nampa Library. I don't understand why the Library board can't make up its mind. I don't like the fact that people have to ask for a couple of books that may help them.

Sex is a natural act. So why are people worried about others who might read something about sex? Sure, some of those "unnatural acts" aren't something the Christian Right approves of, but why is it their business who does what?

What is with people not stopping for pedestrians in crosswalks? Living next to a school on a fairly busy street, I see this on a daily basis. Not only do I see it, it happens to me.

What are your thoughts on the polygamist group's 465 children that were rescued from the Texas compound? Should the children be allowed to return to the camp with their mothers? Shouldn't the mothers more forth coming with the events that take place inside the compound? Should criminal charges be pressed?

The mothers first priority should be to protect their children. Women that have escaped the camp and spoke out and confirmed the events that take place inside.......

What do you think about that? Was anyone inspired?

How many times have you been in a school zone and a car speeds through there like a sign was never posted? Or you are driving 20-25 mph, the posted speed limit in the zone and a car is tailgating you with little patience? Are school signs foreign to some people in the Treasure Valley?
Unfortunately,...

Canyon County has a lot of new restaurants. Which one should I not miss?

Bush Hamdan the senior has put in his time and probably deserves a shot at running the team, but I feel that Kellen Moore is the better QB even as a freshman, and it would be better for the team to start a kid who will be here for 4 years. What do you think?

What should be done about the foreclosures? There was a 85% increase in March of foreclosures? Are there any measures that could assist homeowners and prevent foreclosure?

What sentence would you give Joseph Edward Duncan III, the vile, subhuman rat-filth who slaughtered an Idaho family in order to kidnap, rape and torture two children (before killing one of them, too)?

What do you think about the cost of living for retired citizens? I think is not fair, after some of our retired citizens served in the war! they deserve better Medical Benefits/Housing. We owe them that much!

Seems there are many heroes amongst us here in the Treasure Valley and one that I truly admire is Boise DJ KeKe Luv.
For those of you that did not follow this remarkable story, let me fill you in. KeKe Luv stayed awake and on air for 175 hours straight, that's 7 days to add awareness and raise money for child abuse. There are huge health risks at doing this but he truly believed in the cause and dedicated everything he had in doing this. I have heard many say that this was another media ploy to gain listeners as he was also breaking a world record. I say, this is not the case. Although KeKe did break the world record, it was never formally...

Can anyone think of a good caption for this picture?

Ever feel like you are being watched for no good reasons other than you are Hispanic-looking and happen to live in Nampa? Why are Nampa Police running license plate checks or criminal histories, or whatever it is they are doing on their computers in their cars, when they are stopped behind a law-abiding (and LEGAL for that matter) Hispanic motorist?? Why the extra scrutiny??

Some say Gov. Otter wants Idaho to get back to its agricultural roots. Others say the current administration supports the state's technology sector with generous tax incentives.
