    The slogan is very good. The first word is can easily catch the attention of the readers. Relevant because it is good for all and very nice info.

    Evey time you get mail from AARP, be sure to mail something back in their "no-postage necessary" envelop. I generally add a comment to let them know that I am replying to them specifically to waste their money and time. If we all did this, it would add up to some real money - not to mention the time it would take their employees to open the envelop and read our comments.

    I agree with jkursman ... payday lending is highly regulated at the state level. Regulations include, among other things, capping the amount customers can borrow and the fees lenders can charge. States also generally either prohibit loans from being “rolled over” (i.e., extended with another fee being charged) or limit such rollovers to one or two times. Instead of over regulating payday loans and limiting consumer options, a better solution is to keep freedom of choice for consumers. In a state-regulated environment, payday advances can often be the best choice for consumers.

    You can do better than including nonsense like "up to 40 percent", which, of course, includes 0% and therefore makes no case. Also, we're grown-ups here: "..uses enough oil to fuel a million cars for a year" is meaningless (is the car an H2? Or a Prius?). Oil is measured in barrels.

    Many people listen to music because they like music, unaware that the music is being used as a commercial marketing delivery vehicle for promoting non-musical products to them. And besides, if you think that Miracle Whip, Wonder Bread and Diet Coke are in good taste, then there's no reasoning with you anyway.
