“Please ignore the abysmal example set by President Obama who, in the name of Thanksgiving, supports torture as 45 million birds are horrifically abused; dragged through electrified stun baths, and then have their throats slit.

While fortunately our eight housing sites were unharmed, and all our kids and staff came through safely, our drop-in center was utterly devastated. Four feet of water flooded the entire space. The floors, walls, outlets, were destroyed; all the …

But he couldn’t resist a jab at Mitt Romney during the ceremony. “They say that life is all about second chances and this November I can’t agree more,” Obama said. “So in the spirit of the season I have one more gift to give,” Obama joked in apparent …

Walmart and Target are facing petitions and consumer backlash over their decision to open tomorrow.

So who’s working today? Who’s hitting the road?

Hello Kitty, Papa Smurf, and something called the Elf On The Shelf are the three new balloons set to appear in tomorrow’s Macy’s Parade. As with many things in New York City, it’s better to watch the parade on TV than it is in person. A few years ago a buddy and I went to the Upper West Side to …
