Glenn plays a little bit of a speech he delivered to Liberty University recently, this time it's a little different as it's set to music. But the message of the 'controversial' speech is clear: the solution is Common Sense. Check out the segment from radio today.

by Bruce Feiler - Two years ago, I asked six friends to form a “Council of Dads” to be father figures for my three-year-old identical twin daughters.

Apparently these days it's controversial to do an ad giving thanks your son is alive. That was the case with the much anticipated Tim Tebow commercial, in which his Mom talked about her decision to choose life.

Today on radio Glenn talks about his trip to go buy a Christmas tree this weekend. So long as you aren't living in some bizarre world where needles and tree sap is your idea of a good time, this was probably your weekend. Freezing your butt off, pathetically attempting to saw down a tree, getting covered in sap, and then getting yelled at as the tree (no matter how it is positioned) never looks good enough. This one is for all of you men out there who long for owning a fake Christmas tree.
