June was always a big month in my family. My father’s birthday, my birthday, Father’s Day, and my parents’ anniversary all jammed into a period of a few weeks. Last year’s Father’s Day was a bittersweet one for me, and I imagine that from now on, Father’s Day for me will always evoke a bit…

People around the world are mourning the loss of life that resulted from the Israeli Navy commando raid on a flotilla of ships brining humanitarian aid to a blockaded Gaza.

If recent reports are true, then President Obama plans to mint his own Mideast peace plan in an attempt to loosen up the gridlock the parties are experiencing in that troubled region of the world.…

I have a question and I need a quick answer: Exactly what benefit is derived from the commemoration of Confederate History Month? Does it increase the standard of living for its celebrants, presumably poor and working-class whites? Does it provide them better wages, benefits and working conditions?
