A Brief Look at Rick Santorum’s Family Tree

He was also a United States Senator from 1995 through 2007, representing the state of Pennsylvania. Rick Santorum is among the candidates who … Continue reading →

Audrey Santo Proved that All Life Has Value

Audrey Santo, widely referred to as Little Audrey, was three-years-old when she fell into the family swimming pool. Rushed to the hospital, Audrey fell into a coma. After three weeks she awoke, but would remain in a condition called Akinetic Mutism. She could not talk and could only make slight movements. The doctors wanted her sent to an institution, but her mother refused. She believed Audrey would receive better care at home. This is a scenario that neither my mind nor heart cannot begin to grasp. How can a parent survive watching their healthy child become a fragile, completely dependent … Continue reading →

New traditions are added to the holiday all the time, such as the Presidential Turkey Pardon. Since 2005 another all-American tradition has been added: a trip to Disneyland. When President Obama pardons two turkeys today the birds will then fly to Disneyland in California to serve as honorary Grand Marshals of the Disney Thanksgiving Day Parade. Afterward they will retire to the Big Thunder Ranch in Disneyland’s Frontierland. Some claim the presidential … Continue reading →

Final Thoughts on the Breastfeeding/IQ Controversy

The internet is abuzz with controversy this week after a new study was released last week claiming that breastfeeding only makes babies smarter if they are already genetically predisposition to be smarter. One article, published by Newsweek implies that perhaps we won’t all be breastfeeding as much now that we all know it won’t make our kids smarter unless they have the gene for it. The unsaid conclusion is that breast milk and formula are equal. All I can say is give me a break! What I find interesting is that no one ever mentions exactly why all these studies … Continue reading →
