...But not in the way you'd think.

Now that I’m a mother, I’m much more sympathetic to a woman who just couldn’t take it anymore. Not saying I’d leave my kids in a parking lot and hope for the best . . . just saying that I can understand the impulse.

Being a person of faith isn’t cool. It is very personal to me and not something I like to talk about a lot, which goes counter to the whole idea of ‘sharing the good news of the gospel.’

Ray Nagin. Yes, the former New Orleans mayor who now has a criminal record. Let me explain.

Your partner will make you want to throw up at some point. Pure, unadulterated disgust.
