In an article attacking Bill O’Reilly, the NYT invites us all to live the Gospel in the midst of evil: So I have a challenge for Mr. O’Reilly: If you really want to defend traditional values, then come with me on a trip to Darfur. I’ll introduce you to mothers who have had their babies [...]

Nice to see generosity get its due
Tuesday, December 20th, 2005Congratulations to Time magazine’s people of the year – Bono, Bill and Melinda Gates — for demonstrating that it’s better to give than to receive. “The rocker’s job is to be raucous, grab our attention.
