FERGUSON: Let’s get rid of the IRS
So, how was your week? Chances are you had a better one than our president did. No fewer than three major scandals engulfed the White House this week before lunchtime on Tuesday. Not since Bill Clinton’s second term have I heard the term “culture of corruption” get bandied about so freely.

FERGUSON: Learning to cope
I’ve written about health issues that I’ve had in the past several times, and I always seem to get a lot of feedback on those columns. Often, that’s because people have either had the same or a similar problem to the one I describe or they know someone who has. People just tend...

FERGUSON: A very simple guaranteed exercise plan

FERGUSON: How to deal with Facebook envy
A few years ago I set up a Facebook account using the e-mail address I use to get feedback from readers of this column.

Time for GOP to make its stand
This is a tough time to be a Republican. First they lost the presidential election and then the whole fiscal cliff thing seemed to put them in an even more precarious position. Many of them ended up having to cave in on their no-tax-increase-ever pledge and that seems to have caused more division...
