Christmas comes really fast, so it' so important to plan beforehand and make sure you found the right gift for your dad. As kids we oftentimes don't really think about the gifts we get our fathers.

Fathers (for the most part) have done a lot for us, so I...more

The folks on the political right wont even use the term. For them, the topic is climate change. Yes, the planet is getting warmer, but it is also getting cooler.
