A lot of us have done the online dating thing at one time or another. It’s usually a pretty thankless exercise in self-pity, but every once in a while you come across those one-of-a-kind profiles that make you smile. I think it’s safe to assume that most of us would swipe right on these folks. 1....

It’s always interesting to compare how far a buck goes in different places. For example, there’s a big difference between what $100 will get you in New York vs. what it’ll get you in, say, Kansas. I mean, anecdotally, anyway. But who will tell me for sure?? Well, wonder no longer. The U.S. Tax Foundation...

Do you ever wonder what exactly is the breakdown of religious groups where you live? As I drive around town, I see churches, mosques, and temples, and I ask myself that question all the time.
