Think Obama’s birth certificate solves the birther argument? Think again.

Get your English on and celebrate the royal wedding going on today.

Killer tornados twisting up the United States.

By this time I’m sure we’ve all heard the advice: never post anything on your Facebook that you don’t want the world to see.

Embarrassing pictures can cost you your job, and status updates can make that mean girl hate you even more.

But Twitter is also a kind of social media that can get you into trouble… like being charged with ESPIONAGE.

Shawna Gorman is at the center of accusations saying she is a Twitter spy. (Just think, with a little online flirting, a little innocent question asking, you could be labeled a super spy).

To be fair Shawna was allegedly running in the security and defense crowd. You know, CIA and  Predator Drones. When you’re a cute Twitter star in a bikini and you start asking “need to know” questions to the lonely old intelligence man… people will tend to get suspicious.

Just remember, your actions on the Internet have consequences.  So don’t tweet anything you wouldn’t want your mother or the attorney general to see.

The Federal Reserve Bank (the FED) is often regarded as a mysterious silent priesthood.

They issue pronouncements and commands about the US economy from behind closed doors.

The Fed’s vow of silence was surprisingly broken this week when the FED gave its FIRST EVER PRESS CONFERENCE.

Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Fed took questions from reporters on a variety of issues. Two big questions he needed to answer were:

• Should the Fed keep our nation’s interest rates low as they are now?
• Hey, shouldn’t you raise those interest rates?

Each question has its pitfalls.  As always, somebody has something to say on both sides:

Raise interest rates!

Stay the course!

What’s would you ask Ben Bernanke at his next press conference?
