  By: Joanne Hagen
  
  (SNN) - Unlike the movie, these dogs have nothing to do with diamond heists, and Quentin Tarantino is not responsible for bringing this lawless band of gangsters together, as far as I know. Citizens of Phoenix, Maryvale and other towns in the state of Arizona are reported to be in a state of terror over packs of what are being called vicious feral dogs. No, not salivating, bloodthirsty wolf-size hounds, rather, deadly Chihuahuas roaming...
  
  
• Rob Ford, Prepare Yourself for the Red Planet
  ... and Mars, Prepare Yourself for Rob Ford.
  By: Joanne Hagen
  
  (SNN) - We have had our share of not-so-honest politicians, but Rob Ford has trumped them all. For over a year, Ford has monopolized the world news with his outrageous, obscene, and humiliating behavior.

• Texting Behind Increase in Irritable Vowel Syndrome
  By Joanne Hagen
  
  (SNN) - Since the onset of text messaging, writers, teachers, journalists, linguists and other language conscious beings have watched our beloved English language PROPER morph before their very eyes into a series of sentences consisting of one-letter words, almost always a consonant.  Vowels have taken a beating in communication technology, as textspeak has all but eradicated their use; ie.

• It's Spring Fever, not Neurosis, I'm Sure of It.
  By Joanne Hagen
  
  (SNN) - I am a winter wimp, a big whiny baby actually, when it comes to the ‘cold white blanket’ season. Being 100% Canadian I feel like a bit of a misfit or weirdo because I don’t dive into the powdery stuff with joyful abandon like most of my Canadian cohorts. I am not digging out the skis, skates, or ice-fishing shack, no. I am nestled inside with hot chocolate looking out at the spectacular sight of softly falling snow...
