Posted Jul 14, 2008 @ 12:30 AM

As near as the genealogists in my family can discern, I'm English and Welsh, with enough Irish thrown in to make me personally embattled and internally unstable.

What exactly was the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson thinking when he sat in front of a TV camera and a microphone - at, of all places, a Fox News affiliate! - and whispered as an off-air aside that he wanted to castrate Sen. Barack Obama for "talking down" to black people?

Roberts: Immigrants follow your family's footsteps

Many of those who fought to save the beloved School on the Hill have begun to accept that a new Norwood High School will be built behind the present stately structure and that the beautiful old building that is an important symbol in so many lives will eventually be reduced to rubble. Nothing can change that now. The train has left the station.

The photo in the paper was a professional publicity shot, evocative of a young Katie Couric, but it was Norwood’s own Stephanie Simoni, looking like she could take on the world without losing an ounce of cool.
