Washington - Congress and President - have signed the two-month payroll tax reduction extension, packed their bags and fled for home. We can always hope they will come back in January wiser and ready to serve the American people's future.

What really matters this week that leads to the birth of Jesus?

Love. So let's take a look at what some of our fellow human beings have had to say about love. Agree...disagree...but pick your favorite and try to live up to its promise.
