Another life lost.
From the Chicago Sun-Times:

Can anything prepare us for Drew’s story?
Drew lost his job, then he lost his wife and daughter to a drunk driver. He is an educated man, but today he lives on leftover food he finds in dumpsters.

Senator Edward “Teddy” Kennedy’s funeral mass.
Beautiful, simple, and elegant liturgy.

Look. We have to make a decision. Do we approve of torture or not?
If we approve of torture, then, fine. We’ll have to accept the fact that our men and women will be tortured. And we must give up our right to complain or “officially protest” any torture on an American soldier.
So, which is it? [...]
