Westboro Baptist Church plans to picket the funerals of the victims of the Connecticut school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary. If you agree that this is a horribly hateful protest, please sign this petition to make the U.S. government legally recognize the church as a hate group.
On Friday, the nation stopped as word of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., made its way around the country. The news of the 20 children and six teachers who lost their lives brought our country to a stand still.
In the aftermath of a horrible and terrifying happening like the shooting that took place today in Connecticut, what would you do as a parent? Obama, himself, had a hard time trying to decide what to say as a parent. In his address to the country after this tragedy, he spoke not just as the president but a father. How do you explain what happened to a little one? How could we prevent this here in East Texas?
This past year was full of memorable moments. Some of them good, some heartbreaking, and some were just plain weird. Zeitgeist put together a video reviewing some of the most memorable moments from the past year. Hey, If the world is going to end this month, at least we went out with a bang.
The amount we fork over for Christmas gifts has gone up every year since 2008.
The iPads, flat screen TVs, and video game must-haves ain't cheap! When you add up the hot electronics, the ugly sweaters, and the popcorn tin gift sets, we're spending just shy of a thousand bucks on Christmas.
Last night while my wife was creating a new wreath to hang above the fireplace, my daughter and I watched "A Charlie Brown Christmas" on ABC. I love these classic Christmas shows and look forward to seeing them every year. In addition to these classics, I am a fan of the new ones as well, like Prep and Landing.

Well some very special folks heard that the family was fans of theirs, and sprung into action.
The New York Post has a tragic story today about a family that died while trying to save the family dog. Would you risk your life to save your pet?
At some stores and homes, the Christmas decorations were up before Thanksgiving.
Those of us that did put up the Christmas tree before carving the turkey have been accused of breaking holiday rules, but rather than rebellious it seemed convenient to me. We got the decorating out of the way early, and could concentrate on matters like shopping!
Here at the radio station yesterday we celebrated Thanksgiving with the entire staff, everything was prepared by someone from the station and was great - from the turkey and dressing to the mashed potatoes, greens, corn and rolls - it was all great. However, what I think stole the show was the selection of desserts that were offered to us!
With Thanksgiving coming up Thursday, the annual radio station Thanksgiving lunch with the staff and family is coming up tomorrow afternoon and of course the main dish at the luncheon will be turkey. But how that turkey gets prepared for us was up for a great debate!
