When a new one arrives, everyone wants to see who the young one looks more like, the mom or dad, or sometimes the baby ends up looking more like a sibling or more distant relative.
As I prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday, I am reminded of the autumnal harvest time's spiritual significance.
Failed 2008 GOP presidential contender and possible member of the GOP Clown Car in 2012 Mike Huckabee has begun his usual "culture will unravel" mantra over marriage equality.
