Ambrose: Obama administration swimming in major scandals
Please, please, there's no reason to impeach President Barack Obama, and it is overreach to say we're getting Watergate all over again.

Garden Life: Trimming can revitalize rhododendrons

Letter: Pilfered at the pump
The price at the pump jumped dramatically in the last few weeks. Just two weeks ago I was paying $3.31 per gallon for regular unleaded. Now at the same station it is $3.83 per gallon; a 16 percent increase in that small period of time. What other retailer can get away with that large an increase?
