Wow, 29th installment of the News, eh?

in children’s book. The gay penguin issue has really been buried, I think, by all of this War On Terror nonsense.  These fictionalized penguins are obviously deeply devoted to one another and capable of providing a loving and stable home to Tango, so I don’t understand what the issue is.  If Catholic adoption services don’t want to get involved, I think that’s their business.  I think that the issue of

The seeming epidemic of violence in the workplace struck home today.  There was a murder-suicide at the Baltimore office of my wife’s company.  The murder victim was a manager who was killed by one of his employees, who then turned the gun on himself.  I’m not going to use any names here, so this might get kind of convoluted.  I apologize for any confusion.  The victim was someone with whom
