Should Buses Have Seatbelts? [POLL]
We were all horrified last night by the news of a tour bus rolling over near Pendleton killing at least nine people and injuring a few dozen more. A few weeks ago we were shocked by a school bus accident in Kennewick that lightly injured a few Tri-Tech students.

What Do You Regret Most About 2012?
Every New Year's Eve I make resolutions based on what went wrong the previous year. And like everyone else, I find resolutions hard to keep.

A few weeks ago we decided to find out what the No. 1 Christmas movie of all time was. If you were stuck on a deserted island with nothing but a DVD player, what holiday movie would you bring along?
