...Always try to keep your higher self. Your character promotes your own reality. I tell my kids to practice love. With the cameras watching you're forced to practice love. So you never know what makes the kids grow up the right way. Joey's [Russell's brother and Rev. Run of Run DMC] kids have become great givers because of the reality show. The youngest one has gotten better in school because of the show, because their job is to be better - not better than anyone else but better than they were before. My kids...
Maybe Barack Obama skimped on his contribution when the offering plate came past at Trinity United Church of Christ. Or perhaps he nodded off during one of Rev. Jeremiah Wright's sermons. It's hard to think of another reason why the Illinois Senator's former pastor would put on the kind of performance yesterday at the National Press Club that can only be described as a political disaster...

Since "performance" is all that the talking heads ever notice, they'll probably declare Clinton the winner of the debate. She constantly salted Obama's wounds, all the while insisting that she was merely concerned that Republicans would salt them in the fall, and that his various controversies simply "raised questions" about his electability; at one point she claimed that his exhaustively chewed-over relationship with Wright "deserves further exploration...
