Aaron Katersky, the outstanding journalist for ABC Radio News, stood by as men dug graves with picks and shovels on the devastated half-island.

Slurring Into The Truth
This week it was revealed that Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader, has an especially poor way with words. It is a disease that is not new to men in that position, and they have all been men. Trent Lott also suffered from acute faulty tongue syndrome.

Won't Get Fooled Again
You know why terrorism is a foolish pursuit? It can never work in changing American minds. Oh, we can change, and do, thank God. But we have never been threatened into doing so.

The Instant Gift
I sincerely hope Rick Warren is real. Nearly everyone knows who he is, if not, you probably know about his most famous book: The Purpose Driven Life. Rev. Warren was on Meet the Press this weekend and his segment made me think about generosity.

The Freeing App
I was so excited the day I got my new phone. It did everything. It wasn't long before I had six full pages of colorful little icons, all representing some cool application, or apps. Some days it seemed that the last thing I needed the device for was talking to somebody.
