A Grieving Community

What was meant to be a season of peace and joy has been shattered by the news of a school shooting in a small Connecticut town.

As a father of five children, my heart goes out to the parents of these little ones whose lives were ... (more)

Bahrain Humbug!

For our troops in the Middle East, it's not away in a manger -- it's away goes the manger!

The City That Never Sleeps...Alone

The only thing higher than the Empire State Building may be New York City's sexually transmitted disease rate!
