A retelling of my firstborn’s birth story; and event that occurred 12 years ago today?
Of course, the highlight of the tale was when my water broke in the kitchen (all over the floor) and my dog, Moe, cleaned it up while I tried to figure out what to do.
Once you’ve heard that part, you’ve really know the meat of the story.
Those Mean Conservatives November 20, 2006

New book coming out by Syracuse University professor, Arthur C. Brooks. The “money” quotes, so to speak:
The book’s basic findings are that conservatives who practice religion, live in traditional nuclear families and reject the notion that the government should engage in income redistribution are the most generous Americans, by any measure.
Conversely, secular liberals who believe fervently in government entitlement programs give far less to charity. They want everyone’s tax dollars to support charitable causes and are reluctant to write checks to those causes, even when governments don’t provide them with enough money/
I found the next quote interesting as well:
>Still, he says it forcefully, pointing out that liberals give less than conservatives in every way imaginable, including volunteer hours and donated blood.
