With a lame duck session of Congress convening next week, everyone is talking about whether the Bush tax cuts should be extended or allowed to expire at the end of this year.

Obama Drama: When in trouble at home, go abroad--Onward Christian Soldiers

John Anthony:

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." MLK.
