Americans try to keep sense of humor in face of coronavirus pandemic

Human beings, when faced with those desperate situations, often make a joke to ease the tension. Americans especially.

Pathological liar Elizabeth Warren thinks presidential candidates should tell truth

The Massachusetts Democrat lied about being an American Indian, lied when she promised to serve her full Senate term if reelected in 2018, lied when she said her children attended public schools, lied when she said her father worked as a janitor, lied when she said she was fired for being "visibly pregnant."

At Christmastime, George W. Bush was Santa, Obama was Scrooge

Every year, in the week between Christmas and New Year's Day, I think about George W. Bush. It was in that week each year for the eight years I covered him as a reporter that he gave me a spectacular gift -- and he knew it. Published December 24, 2019
