Proper history teaching is being crushed under the weight of play-based pedagogy which infantilises children, teachers and our culture.

Judgment is not upon all occasions required, but discretion always is.

The writers are the stars of every really successful sitcom.

The danger in being closely knit is becoming miserably entangled.

I love to feel glamourous. I love to have other women feel glamourous.

You know that I am living proof that the American Dream is real. Growing up, our congressman cut through government bureaucratic red tape to help my mom buy our first house. That's the kind of congressman I'll be.
