1) The Day After Daylight Savings Time-A Dangerous Day

Typically I read most of my news on Yahoo.com, so it was no surprise to find another interesting news article about the Monday after we spring forward for daylight saving time results in more fatal car crashes, heart attacks and injuries in the workplace than at any other time of year. I loathe Daylight Savings Time, and today I’ve been in a funky mood all day. There are several studies showing an increase in traffic accidents, heart attacks, and workplace injuries.

2) Hillary Clinton Email Scandal

Hillary Clinton is beloved by many, but even I’m wondering about the recent story of Clinton using a private email account to conduct communications while Secretary of State. Critics are accusing Clinton of using a non-government issued email to keep her emails from entering the public. A House Select Committee has subpoenaed her emails to see if any communication during the time of the fatal 2012 terrorist attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi.

3) Barbie Turns 56
Randomly it’s Barbie’s 56th birthday on March 9, 2015. What boy or girl doesn’t remember pulling off her head, legs, or arms? The past few years Barbie has suffered from poor sales, but a girls birthday always brightens up the day.
